In this video, we dive into the critical role of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in diagnosing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the associated Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (LVOTO). HCM is a common genetic heart disorder characterized by the thickening of the heart muscle, which can lead to significant clinical implications, including LVOTO. What You'll Learn: <ul> <li>Basics of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM): Understand the pathology, how it manifests, and why early diagnosis is crucial. </li> <li>Identifying HCM with POCUS: Learn how to use POCUS to visualize the thickened ventricular walls, focusing on the key ultrasound views and measurements. </li> <li> Assessing for LVOTO: Explore how POCUS helps detect left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, a potentially life-threatening complication of HCM.</li> </ul> Whether you're a seasoned clinician or new to POCUS, this video will equip you with the knowledge and skills to enhance your diagnostic capabilities in detecting HCM and LVOTO.
