GP ears still catch what echo lists miss

This 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.

low 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?...

The 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.

Thoracic 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.

Half my diagnoses carry 'anxiety' or 'deconditioning' in the prior notes. The label sticks. 14-week echo wait doesn't help.

#HFpEF #Echocardiography #PrimaryCare

A 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.

Echo slots wait for suspicion

#Diagnostics #MedTech #Echocardiography

Cardiac 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.

#Echocardiography #Diagnostics #MedTech

The 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.

$62.7M for AI cardiology. Meanwhile my HF patients wait 3 weeks for an echo and I'm guessing with BNP and lung sounds.

Echo waiting lists, not ECGs, often decide who gets diagnosed, access, not medicine, determines who we'll ever find with structural disease. How do we fix that?

Septal flattening timing on parasternal short axis differentiates RV pressure vs volume overload. Systolic flattening = RV pressure overload; diastolic = RV volume overload. #USMLE #Cardiology #Echocardiography

Lower referral thresholds from a new test will FLOOD echo services. If you don't plan capacity, waitlists and unnecessary scans follow. Prep now, not later.
