82 Pocus
82.1 What this covers
- TTE
- EF Assessment
- Diastolic Dysfunction
82.2 Learning objectives
- TTE
- EF Assessment
- Diastolic Dysfunction
82.3 Bottom line / summary
- https://www.pocus101.com/assessing-left-ventricular-ejection-fraction-with-echocardiography/
- Qualitative method: PSLA - visually, how close does mitral valve come to the septum PSSA - at papillary muscle level, do all sides move in to center equally?
- E/eā surrogate for PCWP.
82.4 Approach
- POCUS
- TTE
- EF Assessment
82.5 Red flags / when to escalate
- TODO: List red flags that require urgent escalation.
82.6 Common pitfalls
- TODO: Capture common errors or missed steps.
