Hey folks, Scott Warnard here, and this is the MCRIT podcast. Today on the podcast, we do another

0:04.7

cardiovascular MCRIT episode. One that is, well, that should be of interest to everyone. It is on dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. And you're like, what's that? I don't need to know that. That's rare. That's, you know, nothing I'm ever going to encounter. but no, you're already encountering it,

0:21.9

and if you've never heard of it,

0:22.9

it's something that's going on on your patients leading to further decompensation. And since you don't know to look for it, you don't see it. But as soon as you understand what this is and start looking, you will find it. And then you will realize that not knowing about it is a big

0:37.7

problem. Now, before we jump into that, just some quick announcements. First of all, we just completed

0:41.8

a wake and aware our conference in Scottsdale, Arizona on joy and flourishing. Holy crap, it was

0:47.6

amazing. I will tell you more about it in coming weeks because we're going to do it again. But for

0:52.3

now, that is enough to simply say, extraordinary. The Vertigo course is going wonderfully. That's in my course with Peter Johns on just mastering dizziness and vertigo such that, you know, you see those in the chart rack or the virtual chart rack. And all of a sudden, you're like, ooh, I want that. I want to practice that rather than who I hope my partner takes that because I hate those so much. And then the out on time course, just a little specification on this. As it stands now,

1:15.5

this is a course that will get you out on time, that will make you happier on shift, and will

1:20.7

teach you to document that is made for American emergency physicians. Now, we have plans on expanding

1:26.5

that to Australia, to Canada, but for now,

1:29.6

you should only buy the course if you are an American emergency physician. More to come on that.

1:35.0

So you can find the first one at vertigo course.com, vertigo course, all one word.com,

1:40.7

and the other one out on timecourse.com. All right, let's get into the show with

1:45.9

my partner in all things CVMCrit and the editor of cardiovascular mcrit. Trina on dynamic,

1:52.2

left ventricular, outflow tract obstruction. So, Trina, you're back again. Another CVMCrit

1:59.7

episode. How have you been? So good. It's wonderful being back. I'm still trying to not freeze here in Rochester, Minnesota. I thought we were going to have a little summer. And then the snow hit us again. So we are back to some ridiculous negative windshield factor again. Absolutely. You've shared it with most of the rest of the Eastern Seaboard, so you don't have to feel alone. All right. So true. But what will warm me is this

2:23.5

topic we're going to discuss. So what are we going to be talking about today? We are going to be

2:28.6

talking about dynamic left ventricular outflow track obstructions. We'll do a general overview,

2:33.6

and then we're going to

2:34.6

dive into a little bit of nuanced presentations, which is what really got my interest in the last

2:39.5

while and why we started talking about this topic. Absolutely. Now, that is a mouthful. My guess is
