The "strings" of the human heart, or chordae tendineae 🟢Literally and figuratively. The strings are the tendinous chordae that extend from the heart muscle to the valves. 🟢When the valves open, the chordae are relaxed; when the valves close, the chordae are taut. This is where the chordae tendinae, or cardiac strings, come from. . . . . #HumanHeart #ChordaeTendineae #HeartAnatomy #Cardiology #HeartHealth #ValvesOfTheHeart #MedicalEducation #Anatomy #CardiacFunction #HealthAwareness #CirculatorySystem #Wellness #HeartStrings

QUESTION: Is the E/A ratio obtained on this Apical 3 chamber window normal? ANSWER: No. In a normal heart, the E wave (early diastolic filling) is typically larger than the A wave (atrial contraction), so the E/A ratio is usually greater than 1. Reversal of the E/A ratio (A>E), can be a sign of impaired relaxation of the left ventricle (Type II), where the heart relies more on atrial contraction to fill the left ventricle. 🔥 Master Diastolic Function Assessment with Expert Cardiac POCUS Training Understanding diastolic dysfunction patterns is critical for comprehensive cardiac assessment.

Great paper understanding the athletes heart regarding not just the historical context of it but the determinants of exercise induced cardiac remodeling. What’s also great about this paper is that it distinguishes athletes heart from heart disease. Hsieh, P. N., Shen, S., Chukwurah, M. I., Churchill, T. W., Stewart, K. M., Chung, E. H., Weiner, R.

The anterior leaflet of the mitral valve is structured to guide blood along an efficient pathway, starting from the basal posterior wall and leading to the LVOT, helping to reduce the heart's energy use during ejection. #Cardiology #HeartHealth #MitralValve #LVOT #CardiacFunction #Echocardiography
