Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review discusses the current limitations of assessing the right ventricle (RV) using Point-of-Care Ultrasound, explains the challenges in describing the complexity of the RV, and provides guidance on how to use Point-of-Care Ultrasound data in clinical practice.

Recent Findings

Assessing the RV requires assessments from multiple views and parameters due to its complex shape. Combined use of multiple ultrasound-derived measures along with clinical information from other sources is recommended. Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in Point-of-Care Ultrasound and will help improve validity and consistency of measurements. Future studies are needed to examine the impact of the Point-of-Care Ultrasound exam on clinical outcomes.

Summary

Multiple challenges exist in RV assessment. Future studies and guidance are required to investigate the feasibility of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in specific clinical settings, training and credentialing of examiners, and practice guidance on parameters to be used and reported.

Patienten mit Arteriosklerose-bedingten kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen, die trotz Statineinnahme zu hohe Triglyzeridspiegel haben, profitieren von einer Behandlung mit Icosapent-Ethyl, und zwar unabhängig vom individuellen Risikoprofil.

Gibt es eine Wende bei den bioresorbierbaren Gefäßstützen?

In den USA ist erstmals eine bioresorbierbare Gefäßstütze – auch Scaffold genannt – zur Rekanalisation infrapoplitealer Arterien bei schwerer PAVK zugelassen worden. Das markiert einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte dieser speziellen Gefäßstützen.

Vorsicht, erhöhte Blutungsgefahr nach PCI!
