摘要
There is a broad differential for new-onset cardiac dysrhythmia, and the rapid identification of the underlying cause of these cardiac emergencies can be lifesaving. Identifying wall motion abnormalities on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is not a core echocardiography application for Emergency Medicine (EM) physicians. However, ruling in a regional wall motion abnormality can expedite patient-centered care and assist the busy EM physician in high-risk cases.
