Calcifications Around the Heart on Chest XRay Case #1: This appearance is typical of pericardial calcification & is associated w/ constrictive pericarditis. Case #2: The "tubular" calcifications are coronary atherosclerotic calcifications in the LAD. The proximal LAD is stented: note the more mesh-like appearance of the metallic struts. Case #3: This is calcified myocardium from an old myocardial infarction. By Dr. Stefan Tigges @StefanTigges #Calcifications #Heart #Chest #XRay #CXR #radiology #cardiology #clinical

Double Shunt on Echocardiogram What do you see on this saline contrast study, in a patient with end-stage liver disease and pulmonary hypertension? 1. Early transit of bubbles = PFO 2. Late appearance with replenishment via pulm veins = intrapulmonary. #2 c/w hepatopulmonary syndrome #1: Pulm HTN (portopulmonary or other) causing ⬆️ RA pressure and R➡️L shunt as RAP>LAP as atrial septum shifts left In addition to dilated and probably dysfunctional RV, R-L shunt in two phases, first likely due to stretched PFO or ASD, and later (after ~5 seconds) appears to be coming from PVeins (extra-cardiac shunt in cirrhosis). by David H.
