2D Echocardiography in Valvular heart disease
Two-dimensional echocardiography (2D echo) is a vital diagnostic tool in the assessment of valvular heart disease. Visualization of Heart Structures: 2D echo provides real-time, high-quality images of the heart, enabling the assessment of heart chambers, valves, and adjacent structures. It allows precise visualization of the structure and function of heart valves, including the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonic valves. 2D echo can measure the extent of valve narrowing (stenosis), helping determine the severity of the condition. It assesses the extent of blood leakage or regurgitation through the valves, aiding in the grading of regurgitant lesions. The technique provides insights into valve leaflet thickness, mobility, and any structural abnormalities that might affect valve function. 2D echo helps assess the impact of valvular disease on blood flow, cardiac chambers, and overall hemodynamics. It can measure ejection fraction, an important parameter that reflects the heart's pumping ability and can be affected by valvular disease.It allows for the monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment or surgical interventions over time.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
