What is pulsus paradoxus? What conditions can cause a false positive or false negative pulsus paradoxus? What comprises Beck's triad? What are seven cardinal findings of tamponade physiology on echocardiography? What common comorbidity can cause RV collapse to be negative in tamponade?

4.17 Infective Endocarditis Part 2

Season 2 · Episode 77

Saturday, August 31, 2024 • Duration 09:43

In this episode, we continue our review on infective endocarditis (IE), covering antibiotic prophylaxis, prosthesis-related endocarditis, and device-related infections. Which are the high-risk cardiac conditions and high-risk procedures that warrant antibiotic prophylaxis for IE? How do the pathogens differ between early and late prosthetic valve endocarditis, and how do these impact prognosis and treatment? What are the common pathogens associated with endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and why is diagnosing TAVR endocarditis particularly challenging? When endocarditis occurs in patients with cardiac devices such as pacemakers or ICDs, when is device removal mandatory? Tune in for answers to these questions.

4.16 Infective Endocarditis Part 1

Season 2 · Episode 76

Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 22:01

In this episode, we review the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of infective endocarditis (IE). What five cardinal characteristics lead you to suspect a vegetation on echocardiography? Which heart valves are most commonly affected, and how does the microbial etiology differ between IV drug use and non-drug use-related endocarditis? When is it appropriate to repeat transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)? What features of left-sided endocarditis and right-sided endocarditis should prompt you to refer to early surgery? What is non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE)? Tune in for answers to these questions.
