  • Echocardiogram - Echo
  • What is an echocardiogram?An echocardiogram (echo) is a test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make pictures of your heart. The test is also called echocardiography or diagnostic cardiac ultrasound.
  • Quick factsAn echo uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart’s chambers, valves, walls and the blood vessels (aorta, arteries, veins) attached to your heart.A probe called a transducer is passed over your chest. The probe produces sound waves that bounce off your heart and “echo” back to the probe. These waves are changed into pictures viewed on a video monitor.An echo can’t harm you.

    A description of an Echocardiogram, which essentially takes live pictures of the heart in its entirety. I recently underwent this procedure this year to monitor the thickness of my left ventricle as I have Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I undergo this annually. My Left Ventricle is thicker than it should be and it could lead to a permanent closure stopping the flow of blood if not monitored / treated.

Prevention better than cure in Cuban healthcare system - BBC News - 1 views

    Great article on how the Cuban population prevents illness so that they don't have to cure it. Healthcare in Cuba is free and even written in their constitution. Each citizen is given an annual health check up and ones who are not as healthy are seen more frequently. They teach their citizens how to be healthy so they don't get health-related diseases. Smart system and I think it should be integrated in other countries as well.

    The Misfit Flash is making it more affordable for everyone to use wearable health technology. With a rise in wearable technology, more people are wanting to count their steps and track their sleep, but it can come at a high cost. MisFit offers an affordable alternative that is waterproof and has a longer battery life which would seemingly make it more accurate as well. Seems like a no-brainer when choosing wearable health technology.

    This article focuses on the HIPPA components of the HITECH act of 2009. It walks through how auditing is enforce, how to notify of a breach as well as a number of other privacy components to be aware of. There is an increased risk to a provider as the "HITECH Act also widens the scope of privacy and security protections available under HIPAA". This is need to know material for those of us in the Healthcare IT field.

    The past several decades have seen major strides in technology of all kinds. Improvements in semiconductors have allowed faster computation and communications, as well as the construction of databases that outdo themselves every year. In many industries, technology development has spurred further improvements in efficiency-a virtuous cycle. In health care, this process is happening at a much slower rate. It has taken decades to complete even relatively simple tasks such as digitizing medical records.

    Okay, while I find this mat slightly professionally intimidating, the idea is a good one. While still in pre-production, the makers of the SmartMat raised over $300K in their initial crowdsourcing - overshooting their goal of $110,000. The mat has sensors and connects to your smartphone, giving you individual feedback about alignment. I don't think it will replace highly trained, professional yoga teachers, but it's a great idea.

    Shrinkrapradio is a podcasting site. You can find it on iTunes, but they don't have all 500+ shows in their archives like Dr. Dave does here. The interviews are fascinating and there are a huge range of topics to choose from. Most of the podcasts center around Jungian psychology. Clinicians can even earn CEU's for listening to certain podcasts.
