CASE, a global, open access online journal, welcomes case reports where cardiovascular ultrasound is used to diagnose or help solve a clinical problem. Examples include cases where cardiovascular ultrasound was used as a critical component of a multimodality approach to disease diagnosis or evaluation or where it was used to detect unusual or atypical disease manifestations. Case-based learning (CBL) is an established approach used across disciplines where learners apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promoting higher levels of cognition. Case-based learning (CBL) uses stories about individuals facing decisions or dilemmas.
By the end of this activity, the learner will be better able to:
1. Recognize that acute pulmonary embolism may cause a “paradoxical McConnell’s sign,” with poor contraction of the apical regions of the right ventricle, and hyperkinesis of the base.
2. Describe the echocardiographic findings that are indicative of anomalous right coronary artery off the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA).
3. Describe the potential clinical significance of ARCAPA.
4. Recognize the potential for renal cell carcinoma to metastasize to the right ventricle.
5. Recognize the potential for an aortocoronary saphenous venous graft aneurysm to compress the pulmonary trunk.
