Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

Abstract Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Prior studies of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) interpretation methods for identifying LAE utilized older echocardiographic reference ranges. Objectives Compare the test characteristics of hospitalist‐performed POCUS techniques for identifying ...

“Inverted Pulmonary Valve,” a Rare Cause of Severe Pulmonary Stenosis
We describe three cases – two detected prenatally and one postnatally – in which the pulmonary valve exhibited abnormal chord-like attachments to the right ventricle. This produced paradoxical valve motion, characterized by closure in systole and opening
