Patient demo: common disease – if you live in Africa.
Patient demo: what to look for in a patient with cardiomyopathy.
We have an exciting announcement to make: we finally launched our course on echocardiography. The last couple of weeks have been tough…getting everything ready for you, our users. The course provides you with video tutorials covering the entire spectrum of transthoracic echocardiography, games, factsheets, quizzes, an atlas and much, much more. In June, we even received the international Comenius Award for course-structure and -content. Come, check it out and tell us what you think.
As a special treat, today’s post is different from the rest of our posts. It’s an instructive case presentation.
This case was produced for our friends at http://lifeinthefastlane.com/ – the coolest emergency medicine blog on the net. In this video, Tommy will tell you the story of a 39 year old male patient presenting with dyspnea. Twenty-eight years previously he was shot into the chest while playing with a gun. He was operated after the accident and felt well ever after. His current echo looks like he has dilated cardiomyopathy. Could the gunshot accident have anything to do with his cardiac condition? Watch the video to find out more.
