Finding Criteria for Myocardial Rupture With POCUS AI
A 75 year old female patient presented to the ER with anasarca edema. She had a history of permanent atrial fibrillation and hypertension.
Parasternal short axis Dilated Right Ventricle
PLAX view showing dilated right ventricle.
Parasternal short axis Lack of coaptation of Tricuspid Valve at Mitral Valve level
PSAX at the level of papillary muscles demonstrating severely dilated right ventricle. D-shape interventricular septum due to pressure and volume overload from right heart chambers is seen. There is also mild pericardial effusion.
Parasternal short axis Tricuspid Valve with color Doppler at Mitral Valve level
PSAX at the level of the mitral valve shows dilated tricuspid valve annulus and apical displacement of the tricuspid valve leaflets due to remodeling of the right ventricle. These changes result in lack of coaptation of the tricuspid valve leaflets and massive tricuspid regurgitation (4).
5 Chamber view of severely dilated right heart chambers
Apical 4 chamber view demonstrating severely dilated right heart chambers and massive tricuspid regurgitation due to lack of coaptation of the tricuspid valve leaflets.
Apical 4 chamber view Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation
Dilated inferior vena cava with minimal respiratory variation is noted.
Apical 4 chamber view Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation
Dilated inferior vena cava with minimal respiratory variation is noted.
