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.

STEMI ECG Criteria and Universal Definition of MI

STEMI ECG Criteria and the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction: A Complete Guide for Clinicians Early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains the cornerstone of reducing morbidity and mortality in patients presenting with chest pain. Among all forms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) represents the most time-sensitive emergency, requiring immediate reperfusion therapy. This article provides a clinically relevant summary of the STEMI ECG criteria and the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (UDMI), based on the latest consensus guidelines from the ESC, ACC, AHA, and WHF. --- 1. Understanding STEMI: Why Accurate ECG Interpretation Matters A 12-lead ECG remains the first and most critical diagnostic test when evaluating suspected myocardial infarction. STEMI is identified when there is evidence of acute coronary artery occlusion, producing transmural ischemia and characteristic ST-segment eleva...

𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚 in Patient with AF and acute IS/TIA European Heart Association Guideline recommends: • 1 days after TIA • 3 days after mild stroke • 6 days after moderate stroke • 12 days after severe stroke Early anticoagulation can decrease a risk of recurrent stroke and embolic events but may increase a risk of secondary hemorrhagic transformation of brain infarcts. 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.

2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines Key points

2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines Explained: A Clear Summary for Clinicians and Students Hypertension remains one of the most significant contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. With continual refinement of evidence and risk-based strategies, the 2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guidelines bring an updated, practical approach that clinicians can use in daily practice. To make learning easier, I’ve created a clean and modern infographic summarizing all major recommendations. You can download it below and use it for study, teaching, or clinical reference.
