How do we measure the severity of Mitral Regurgitation (MR)? Enter the PISA method. 1/ PISA = Proximal Isovelocity Surface Area It's a hemispheric zone of blood flow seen on color Doppler as it rushes toward a leaky mitral valve. The faster the flow, the more curved (and larger)

ICU Line Secrets: Is there anything about "lines" that has not been done or studied already? Not much, I guess, so these actually are not secrets, just things I had to do the last couple of weeks & hopefully you also find useful in your practice Here it begins: 1. "Twin lines"

In stable patients with extensive noncalcified plaque volume at baseline, 18 months of evolocumab treatment was associated with a shift toward a lower risk quantitative plaque phenotype and a reduction in microcalcification activity. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #JACCIMG #cvPET

A great review by Ashley Miller, Jonny Wilkinson and Dr Kasal discussing the use of #POCUS in the four phases of shock BTW, nice blend of (patho-)physiology references & bedside applications!
