We are very pleased with EchoJournal, our echocardiography video sharing community. We now have more than 200 user contributed videos, many members, and solid traffic stats. So, if you are a cardiologist, anesthesiologist, radiologist, medical student, or just a person interested in cardiac echoes (TEEs and transthoracic), you can browse through our video archives, upload your own clips, and discuss individual cases. The site is curated by David E. Winchester, MD, a Cardiology Fellow at the University of Florida. He is also getting lots of help from Lebanese cardiologist Dr. Maged Al-Ali. EchoJournal is offering users many choices: keep videos private for storage or post them for discussions, embed videos on your own page , organize groups, channels, and more.
Check out this video puzzle from Dave Winchester, and answer his question: RA collapse, is this tamponade?
In this apical TTE clip, the right atrium is collapsing. It is a little hard to say whether this is occurring as a result of atrial systole or during ventricular systole consistent with tamponade.
