Nice images but so so interpretation. This is not a ”moderate to gross” pericardial effusion (it’s massive). The RV is not included in M-mode at 1:10 (as already mentioned). ECG is lackningen so how can we know for sure what is systole/diastole? Septal bounce at 2:24 (not mentioned). Not A wave at 2:27 (it’s an artifact - the A wave is fused with the E wave because of tachycardia). At 2:41 there’s early diastolisk collapse of RV apical free wall. Septations (3:03) can be found in acute pericarditis as well (not just in chronic cases). However, swinging heart (the amount of effusion) suggests more chronic state yes (as does clinical info). IVC at 3:30 looks dilated (measurement error?). Respiratory variation can’t be reliably assesed here since the IVC moves in and out of plane (also mentioned before). I wouldn’t call this ”good RV and LV systolic function”. Tamponade is a clinical diagnosis and the echo findings are suggesting it..
Is 4cm really normal? I have 4.2cm, with functional bicuspid aortic valve. But im 6ft7 inches tall, and my weight is 233 pounds. Im 34 years old and ive been doing weightlifting for the past 10 years. Would you think i can continue?
@@Akhil69696 at my size, 4cm would be normal. But i have a functionall bicuspid aortic valve, so its not easy to say if its normal or a result from the bicuspid valve.
Degenerative aortic valve disease Aortic valve - calicfic& thickened, moderate AS mild to moderate AR. PML -restricted, Mild MR. Mildly dilated LA. Moderate to severe TR. Normal LV function LVEF= 55%
