Very cool. Have not seen this before. Thx!
Also, is there not a small PCE around this heart? Within normal limits? Looks significant enough to me to be worth commenting on.
Great Images, thanks for sharing. I am sure that the patient’s outcome is far better it would have been only a couple of years ago- We are making this critical diagnosis so much earlier thanks to POC US.
The chordae tendinae look odd to me, like they are shredded. Thinking about endocarditis based on the history but don’t see that here (haha it would havebto be big for me to see it). I’m stumped.
Thanks for shearing.
Hypertrophy of ventricles is seen.Cusp of mitral valve obstruct the LV out flow.This could be systolic motion of anterior mitral valve. (SAM)

Endocarditis……is there or not an hypertrophy?
It can was an Infective Endocarditis …
Thanks for sharing. Great view. Fundamental for me, an intensivista, learning and performing POC US.
Rupture of chordae tendinae is clearly seen.
Thanks for shearing.
