Thrombus or Papillary muscle??
This transthoracic apical clip shows a mobile density in the LV cavity. It is challenging to say based on this single clip whether this is a thrombus or a segment of the papillary muscle. The patient
has been on therapeutic doses of warfarin for the mechanical mitral valve that can be seen. Also, other clips from this study more reliably demonstrate that this is likely a segment of the papillary
muscle.

Classic appearance of RV failure in acute pulmonary embolus 2 of 2
This transthoracic echo clip shows the right ventricle in response to acute PE with RV stretch and dysfunction, however the apex continues to contract. The radiology report from the patient\s CTPA
reads: CT evaluation of the chest demonstrates a ginormous saddle embolus involving both main pulmonary arteries with smaller areas of thrombus extending into all lobes./nThe patient is 37 years old
and has a glioblastoma.

Apical Ballooning Syndrome in a 90yo woman 1 of 2
TTE clip of a woman who was admitted with acute CHF having a normal echo about two weeks prior and a history of hypertensive emergency. On arrival this time, her BP was 90 systolic. By the next day
she was extubated and feeling much better. Troponin was 0.06 and ECG was paced, but unchanged.

Severe Aortic valve stenosis and calcification
This parasternal short axis TTE clip of the aortic valve demonstrates that shi valve is severely calcified and appears very stenotic. Doppler estimated pressure gradient across this valve was between
60 and 80 mm Hg at peak.

Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve
This transthoracic TTE clip shows a patient with a bioprosthetic aortic valve. The doppler study was limited but it did not appear to have any significnat stenosis or regurgitation.

Positive Bubble Study with interatrial shunting
This four chamber apical TTE clip shows \bubbles\ or agitated saline being administered through a peripheral vein with the patient performing a valsalva maneuver. The result is immediate appearance of
bubbles in the left circulation consistent with interatrial shunting. The quality is not great, but you can see the single bubbles floating in the LV within 1-2 beats of the heart after injection of
the saline.

Aortic Sclerosis
This parasternal long axis TTE clip shows an aortic valve that is, sclerotic with mild calcification and mild thickening. This is a common finding in the elderly. There was not a significant pressure
gradient measured on doppler.

Is this the coronary sinus?
This clip shows a transthoracic view of what appears in the area where you might expect to find the coronary sinus (arrow), but it is quite large. This patient also was recently diagnosed with a lung
cancer, and other imaging modalities seem to indicate the possibility of metastasis to the pericardial area and specifically to the inferior aspects. Could this be a metastatic complication of some
sort?
