W/ @jerrysalame79's collaboration & @IM_POCUS's leadership, "Basic Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound and Its Clinical Applications" is out! It emphasizes implications of clinical interpretation and applications d/t probe manipulation issues and limitations of various cardiac #POCUS assessments. See below for the paper and highlights!
Thank you to @Deepscope1 for allowing us to modify 3D cardiac models for educational purposes. Check out the videos below!

Someone actually did an RCT of the DDAVP Clamp vs rescue use of DDAVP!
Seems underpowered so the lack of statistical significance for the primary outcome of overcorrection is a bit suss but faster correction at 48 hours for reactive.

Looking with interest at this French study results in ICM for my pleasure ;)
1) JV was the most representative compared with femoral and subclavian vein
2) CRBSI per 1000 CVC days 0.7 for JV and FV and 0.6 for SV
3) In other words, NO DIFFERENCE (p 0.248)

RESHAPE-HF trial: Among patients with at least moderate functional mitral regurgitation, transcatheter valve repair led to a lower rate of heart failure events during 24 months and better health status at 12 months than medical therapy alone. nej.md/477rpaC
#ESCardio
ALT Panel A: The total number of events in the composite of first or recurrent hospitalization for heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes over a period of 24 months. Panel B: The total number of first or recurrent hospitalizations for heart failure over a period of 24 months. Panel C: The mean change from baseline over a period of 12 months in the score on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire–Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) for quality of life (scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status).

Among patients with transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, the risk of death from any cause and recurrent cardiovascular events was lower with vutrisiran treatment than with placebo. Full HELIOS-B trial results: nej.md/3X5nl5Q
