Critical Cardiac Cases Expert Case Review

Challenge yourself with Cardiac Cases from Dr. Cristina Fuss!

Read alongside Dr. Cristina Fuss (Oregon Health & Science University) as she provides essential interpretation pearls and pitfalls on critical Cardiac cases she has seen in her own practice.

Dr. Fuss also includes helpful advice on evaluating mechanical valves, the DISSECT mnemonic she uses, and the importance of considering patient history and using windowing during your interpretation to ensure you do not miss a critical finding. 

Test yourself to determine

• Whether a patient with acute onset SOB has Takayasu vasculitis, Type A dissection, or Giant cell arteritis
• Whether a retrospectively gated CCTA obtained post mitral valve replacement is showing valve dehiscence, valve disintegration, or valve malfunction
• Whether chest pain experienced after ablation for atrial fibrillation is due to acute myocardial infarction, air embolism due to PFO, or an atrioesophageal fistula
• Whether a child with prior aortic aneurysm undergoing follow up for valve sparing ascending aortic replacement has an Aortic root aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, or mycotic aneurysm
• …and more!
