Competence in Critical care Echocardiography
The ICU is increasingly using echocardiography. It has been demonstrated that TTE improves patient care in 97% of critically sick patients using a condensed focus assessment procedure. When a patient has an endotracheal tube in place, TOE is the first line echocardiographic evaluation and is frequently more helpful in the ICU situation. The safety profile of TOE has been extensively documented, despite the fact that it is categorized as a semi-invasive treatment; the incidence of esophageal perforation is estimated to be 1 in 5000, and the fatality rate to be 1 in 10,000.

Myocarditis: case report
Myocarditis is a condition that occurs when there is inflammation in the heart muscle. The causes of myocarditis can vary widely and include viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal infections, drug reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Symptoms of myocarditis can include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, and fever. Treatment of myocarditis depends on the underlying cause, but may involve rest, medications to reduce inflammation or control the immune system, and supportive care such as fluids and oxygen. In severe cases of myocarditis, complications can occur such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden cardiac death. Prevention of myocarditis involves avoiding exposure to infectious agents and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms develop.
Infective Endocarditis: Diagnosis and Management
Among the finest Cardiologists in the city, Dr. Rajib Lochan Bhanja (Apollo Hospitals) in Bilaspur H O, Bilaspur-chhattisgarh is known for offering excellent patient care. The doctor holds an experience of 8 years and has extensive knowledge in the respective field of medicine.

Infective Endocarditis: Diagnosis and Management
Infective endocarditis (IE) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Rapid diagnosis, effective treatment, and prompt recognition of complications are essential to good patient outcomes. Therapy of IE caused by the more commonly encountered organisms, including streptococci, enterococci, staphylococci, and the HACEK organisms (Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Actinobacillus [Haemophilus] actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella species, and Kingella species). Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of IE.

Echocardiography in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Non-invasive imaging, particularly echocardiography, plays a central role in the evaluation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography helps to rule in HFpEF among patients with unexplained dyspnea when the diagnosis is uncertain. In established HFpEF, echocardiography provides important insights into pathophysiology and phenotyping, such as isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, left atrial dysfunction, abnormal right ventricular- pulmonary artery coupling, ischemia, or obesity phenotypes
