Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy ( HCM) is the most common cardiac disease in cats. This video is helpful on how to diagnose hypertrophy by echocardiography.

Check out the full video, “How to Measure Wall Thickness with Echocardiography,” from our Microlesson Series on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (#HCM)! Watch it here: bit.ly/3LydPTe

If you're a visual learner, this HCM Microlesson Series from ASE is for you! 👀 These videos are great teaching and reference tools for both new and more seasoned sonographers to help avoid common pitfalls when scanning and measuring for HCM, as well as help with identification and quantification! It's important we keep brushed up on this and other pathologies, even if we don't see them often in our own practice.

Workflow is, unfortunately, a concept that is often ignored when implementing HIT and the literature about workflow in domains of quality improvement, system implementation, and process improvement has not been adequate. HIT is not always designed to fit the workflow of a given organization, making it difficult to truly assess HIT impact on outcomes or processes. #eMeasures #QualityImprovement #HealthInformatics #Survey #HeartFailure #ImplementationToolkit #AcuteCoronarySyndrome #AnginaPectoris #AorticDissection #AtrialFibrillation #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #Cardiomyopathy #CardiovascularDiseases #CongenitalHeartDisease #CoronaryArteryDisease #Endocarditis #PercutaneousCoronaryIntervention #PulmonaryEmbolism

An important landmark in the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hot on the heels of mavacamten, another myosin inhibitor, aficamten, shines in restoring cardiorespiratory function in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. 🫀 And what better way to prove this than via a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) to demonstrate an objective improvement in peak VO2. 🏃♂️ Exciting times in cardiology with an ever expanding array of medications to help our patients without resorting to surgery as first line therapy. ☺️ #hocm #myosininhibitor

A hugely important study on structural inequalities in provision and outcomes of therapeutuc hypothermia for HIE. Similar inequalities have been reported more generally across UK maternity care and it would be great to see more data shining a light on this important issue for mothers and newborns.
