TOTEM: Mitral Valve with David Rees

TOTEM: Trainee Organised Teaching in Echocardiography for Medicine, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.

Haemodynamic echo series talk 10: Mitral Valve with Dr David Rees, Cardiac Intensive Care and Anaesthetics Consultant, from St Bartholomew's Hospital.

Dave is a cardiac anaesthetics and ICM consultant at St Bartholomew’s Hospital London and an expert clinician and scanner. He is dual accredited in transthoracic and transoesophageal echo (L2) with the BSE. This talk will hopefully leave you all with the confidence of knowing whether a mitral lesion you have spotted is haemodynamically significant.

This is part of a series of educational talks on point of care echo organised by UK Intensive Care trainees. It is intended for education for UK clinicians to improve their understanding of point of care ultrasound, and delivered by experts in the field. Echo and Point of Care Ultrasound should be learned through appropriately governed accreditation pathways, and used in accordance within local/national clinical governance structures and frameworks - TOTEM and it's speakers hold no responsibility for guiding care in any clinical settings.
