M-Mode Echocardiography Explained This figure demonstrates M-mode measurements from the parasternal long-axis (PLAX) view, crucial for assessing valvular & ventricular function: 🔹 Aortic Valve Motion (Top Panel) - The right coronary cusp (RCC) and non-coronary cusp (NCC) move

Presented at #AHA25: In patients with atrial fibrillation after successful ablation, rivaroxaban therapy did not lead to a significantly lower incidence of a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or new covert embolic stroke than aspirin therapy. Full OCEAN trial results:

LV Torsion: A Powerful Marker of Systolic Function Definition Left ventricular (LV) torsion (or twist) refers to the wringing motion of the heart during systole, apical counterclockwise rotation vs basal clockwise rotation. It results from the unique helical arrangement of

Echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary regurgitation

PVC Localization on ECG Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs) are early heartbeats that arise from the ventricles rather than following the usual His–Purkinje pathway. This illustration shows PVCs coming from different parts of the heart: the outflow tracts (RVOT and LVOT) and
