Title: Features in Suspected Cardiac Sarcoid

Learning Objectives:

• Baseline LA strain predicts outcomes and the temporal changes in LA strain is different between TA-TAVR and TF-TAVRTBD
• Describe how QRS duration effect LVEF deterioration process in patients with aortic stenosis
• Atrial fibrillation may represent a major cause of isolated functional TR and, despite the absence of significant left heart disease or pulmonary hypertension, these patients exhibit increased 5-year mortality when compared to that of an age- and sex-matched control population of residents.
• Review the safety and trend of echo-guided pericardiocentesis in hemopericardium management
• Recognize features presenting with cardiac sarcoidosis to have a better understanding who may need further imaging and testing.
