🩺Unlike systolic murmurs, diastolic murmurs are always a pathological auscultatory sign.
During diastole, blood moves from the atria to the ventricles. The atria do not generate as high a pressure as the ventricles, which is why the diastolic gradient is much lower compared to the systolic. As a result, diastolic murmurs are typically quieter than systolic murmurs.

☝️Since diastolic blood flow has two phases, diastolic murmurs caused by ventricular diastolic filling can occur at both the beginning and the end of diastole.

Back in Ecuador! 🇪🇨 After successful trials earlier this year, our team returned to the remote villages of the Amazon. The mission: to prove that AI-powered technology can handle the demands of large-scale healthcare delivery in challenging conditions.

Over six intensive days, we treated nearly 1,500 patients in communities where the nearest specialist is hours away. Thanks to our partners at Hombro a Hombro and the University of Kentucky’s Shoulder to Shoulder Global, we're helping to bridge the gap in healthcare. 🙏

This is more than just technology – it's about making a real impact where it's needed most. Stay tuned for more updates! ❤️

This patient's Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS) symptoms progressed over the years. She was periodically admitted for inpatient care, but the diagnosis remained elusive for 3 years because her syncopal episodes and underlying bradycardia didn't occur during physician exams or hospital stays. 😔

Epistenocardiac pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium that can happen after a myocardial infarction (MI). Think of it as a localized "myocardial infarct-related pericarditis" rather than the classic widespread kind.

Symptoms💔

The classic symptom is chest pain. Unlike a heart attack, the pain often gets better when you sit up and lean forward. It can also be sharp and pleuritic (worsens with deep breaths). You might hear a "pericardial friction rub" when auscultating the chest!

ECG Findings⚡️

The ECG can be tricky! Unlike typical pericarditis, which shows widespread concave ST elevation, epistenocardiac pericarditis may show more localized ST elevation in the same leads as the MI. It's an inflammatory reaction, not ischemia, but can be easily confused with re-infarction. Look out for these features:

Widespread concave ST elevation and PR depression (though this can be absent or subtle).

Spodick's sign: A downsloping TP segment, often best seen in leads II and lateral precordial leads. While not always present, it's a useful clue! 🔎

Remember to always consider the full clinical picture.👩‍⚕️🩺
