ABSTRACT Multi‐chamber intracardiac thrombi are a rare and high‐risk complication in dilated cardiomyopathy, even during sinus rhythm. This case highlights the associated dangers of hemodynamic compromise and systemic embolization. Management requires vigilant anticoagulation and close monitoring to balance thromboembolic and bleeding risks.

The role of experience in echocardiographic identification of location and extent of mitral valve prolapse with 2D and 3D echocardiography [PDF]
Contradiction exists on the incremental value of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) over 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the detection of mitral valve (MV) prolapse in readers with different echocardiographic ...

Abstract Background Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment for end‐stage liver disease, yet perioperative management is complex and high‐risk. Variations in anesthetic practices may influence outcomes, but benchmarks are scant. This study characterizes liver transplant anesthesia practices in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to identify
