Speaker Name: Dr. Laura Dobson, Consultant Cardiologist, Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, London, UK.

Watch this case-based session to:

• Recognize the role of contrast echocardiography in accurate LVEF assessment when endocardial visualization is suboptimal, influencing device therapy eligibility.
• Identify LV thrombus using contrast-enhanced imaging in patients with poor acoustic windows and severe LV systolic dysfunction.
• Interpret contrast findings to detect aortic dissection by differentiating true and false lumen flow when standard imaging is inconclusive.
• Differentiate LV pseudoaneurysm from free wall rupture using contrast echocardiography to define cavity morphology and neck characteristics.
• Recognize strain imaging patterns suggestive of cardiac amyloidosis including reduced global longitudinal strain with relative apical sparing.
