Echocardiography Mock Exam 5 | Collection of 25 Echo Cases

In this MOCK Exam there are twenty five echocardiography cases, each case is of about one to two minutes, with initial half to view the case and in the next half clips are repeated with answer so you can relate the answer with echo clips.

Into the world of echocardiography with our comprehensive video series, where we explore 25 intriguing cases, each with labelled findings. This video is perfect for medical professionals, students, and anyone interested in cardiac imaging.

What You'll Learn

- In-depth analysis of various cardiac conditions through echocardiography

- Labelled findings to help you understand and identify key features

- Real-life cases to enhance your diagnostic skills

We examine a rare condition known as mitral valve arcade. This anomaly is characterized by abnormal chordal structures connecting the papillary muscles directly to the mitral valve leaflets, bypassing the normal chordae tendineae. Echocardiography reveals thickened, dysplastic leaflets with restricted motion, often resulting in mitral regurgitation. Understanding mitral valve arcade is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

A pericardial cyst is a benign fluid-filled sac that typically arises from the pericardium. Echocardiography shows a well-defined, echo-free space adjacent to the heart, often located at the right cardiophrenic angle. While usually asymptomatic, large cysts can compress adjacent cardiac structures, necessitating monitoring or surgical intervention. Recognizing pericardial cysts is essential for differential diagnosis and appropriate patient care.

From common conditions like mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis to rare anomalies such as cor triatriatum and sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, our video series covers a wide spectrum of echocardiography cases. Each case is meticulously labelled, allowing you to focus on specific features and enhance your understanding.

Brugada ECG vs Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (iRBBB)

Brugada ECG vs Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (iRBBB) Why this differentiation matters Brugada pattern is a malignant channelopathy associated with sudden cardiac death, while incomplete RBBB is usually a benign conduction variant. Mislabeling Brugada as iRBBB can be fatal; overcalling iRBBB as Brugada can lead to unnecessary anxiety and ICD implantation. --- 1. Basic Definitions Brugada ECG Pattern Primary repolarization abnormality Genetic sodium-channel disorder Characteristic ST-segment elevation in V1–V3 Risk of ventricular fibrillation and sudden death Incomplete RBBB (iRBBB) Depolarization abnormality Delay in right ventricular conduction Common in healthy individuals Usually asymptomatic and benign --- 2. ECG Morphology: Side-by-Side Comparison QRS Duration Brugada: QRS usually <120 ms iRBBB: QRS <120 ms, but with RBBB morphology --- V1–V2 Pattern (Key Differentiator) Brugada Pseudo-RBBB appearance ST elevation ≥2 mm ST segment is coved or saddleback Terminal QRS bl...

Acute Treatment of Hyperkalemia

Acute Treatment of Hyperkalemia – A Practical, Bedside-Oriented Guide Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte abnormality that demands prompt recognition and decisive management. The danger lies not only in the absolute potassium value but in its effects on cardiac conduction, which can rapidly progress to fatal arrhythmias. Acute treatment focuses on three parallel goals: stabilizing the cardiac membrane, shifting potassium into cells, and removing excess potassium from the body. Understanding this stepwise approach helps clinicians act quickly and rationally in emergency settings. Why Hyperkalemia Is Dangerous Potassium plays a key role in maintaining the resting membrane potential of cardiac myocytes. Elevated serum potassium reduces the transmembrane gradient, leading to slowed conduction, ECG changes, ventricular arrhythmias, and asystole. Importantly, ECG changes do not always correlate with potassium levels, so treatment decisions should be based on clinical c...

The 1-3-6-12-day rule is a known consensus with graded increase in delay of anticoagulation between 1 and 12 days after onset of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA), according to neurological severity based on European expert opinions. However, this rule might be somewhat later than currently used in a real-world practical setting.
