@drsarahwh.bsky.socialSiemens pulling out of general ultrasound is the wrong direction for HF detection at my end. My echo waitlist is already 14-18 weeks, fewer machines in the system makes that longer, not shorter.

@tumscvdri.bsky.socialHybrid 3-stream network reaches 94.6–95.5% accuracy on 24 echocardiographic views (incl. color Doppler) by combining spatial, optical flow, and Radon features.

@cardiologyadvisor.bsky.social#AI-enhanced #echocardiography showed high diagnostic accuracy, with a pooled area under the curve of 0.96.
@drjcast.bsky.socialEcho finds what a 12-lead misses, same way ApoB reveals risk LDL hides. We picked the cheap athlete screen decades ago on cost grounds and never asked if it actually worked. We're still signing clearances on that bet...
@hollerdoc.bsky.socialEars catch things the echo machine misses sometimes.
@aoifecardiac.bsky.socialthe way samsung medison names their ultrasound machines like galaxy phones is sending me. Evo x30, evo x20, evo x10, give it two years and there'll be an evo ultra with a stylus probe
@aoifecardiac.bsky.socialGP ears still catch what echo lists miss
@physrep.bsky.socialThis study provides prospective, #myocardial strain-based #echocardiography characterization of #cardiac development in #C57BL/6 mice between P0 and week 8, with the P21-Wk8 interval important for sex-specific #cardiac #mechanics.

@drsarahwh.bsky.sociallow prevalence absolutely murders PPV even with decent sens/spec, NPV's the only thing keeping me sane before I send someone to a 14-week echo waitlist. Anyone else actually run the pre-test prob in their head or just go on clinical hunch?...
@cardiologyadvisor.bsky.socialThe American Heart Association released a statement endorsing the 2023 Duke/ISCVID criteria for enhanced #diagnostic sensitivity and supports transesophageal #echocardiography as the first-line imaging modality.

@drsarahwh.bsky.socialThoracic catheter Class II recall, bacterial endotoxin OOS in one lot. Checking which post-cardiothoracic patients got that lot. 14-week echo queue but device alerts land same-day.
@drsarahwh.bsky.socialHalf my diagnoses carry 'anxiety' or 'deconditioning' in the prior notes. The label sticks. 14-week echo wait doesn't help.
@hollerdoc.bsky.socialA new diagnostic display cleared today. Sounds mundane. But most of my echo reads come from a cardiologist 80 miles away, that screen IS the exam for my patient.
@drjcast.bsky.socialEcho slots wait for suspicion
@drsarahwh.bsky.socialCardiac kit isn't the hard bit, it's the reflex. A raised NT-proBNP sitting 14 weeks waiting on echo means your test bought you nothing, mind.
@drjcast.bsky.socialThe queue isn't at the echo lab, it's weeks of referral latency upstream. Adding downstream slots won't shrink a backlog whose constraint lives elsewhere.
@hollerdoc.bsky.social$62.7M for AI cardiology. Meanwhile my HF patients wait 3 weeks for an echo and I'm guessing with BNP and lung sounds.
