Acute Myocardial Infarction: Echocardiographic Assessment
The Universal Definition's five MI types, why wall motion changes precede symptoms and ECG, and the specific remodeling thresholds that predict a poor outcome.
TutorialCoronary Territories and Infarct Localization
The full 17-segment-to-territory map, how lesion position along a vessel changes the wall motion pattern, and how to localize a culprit artery from echo alone.
TutorialMechanical Complications of Myocardial Infarction
Why murmur loudness is a poor guide to severity, the posteromedial muscle's vulnerability, and the finding that's 98% specific for free wall rupture.
TutorialIschemic Mitral Regurgitation
Carpentier Type IIIb's systolic-only restriction, the global-vs-local remodeling framework, and the precise tenting measurements that predict repair failure.
TutorialLV Aneurysm and Pseudoaneurysm
The precise neck-diameter ratio and to-and-fro Doppler sign that separate true aneurysm from pseudoaneurysm, and why the wrong call here is genuinely dangerous.
TutorialMyocardial Viability Assessment
The dobutamine response pattern with the highest predictive accuracy, the sensitivity-specificity trade-off across modalities, and what REVIVED-BCIS2 found.
