b'Recently, Dr. Ben Smith showed me\\xa0this article, entitled \\u201cA Doppler Echocardiographic Pulmonary Flow Marker of Massive or Submassive Acute Pulmonary Embolus\\u201d.\\xa0 It talks some pretty interesting stuff, including showing us a finding that apparently, might be better than all the other echocardiographic findings we have for ruling in and ruling out submissive\\xa0and massive PE.\\xa0 It\\u2019s called\\xa0Early Systolic Notching, and it outperformed McConnell\\u2019s, the 60/60 sign, and acceleration/deceleration times.\\xa0 Check out the graphic (produced by Ben Smith) and the podcast, which was cross posted on the\\xa0Ultrasound GEL podcast\\xa0earlier this week.\\xa0Registration for Castlefest 2020, our ultrasound conference in Lexington Ky, IS LIVE!\\xa0Click here to learn more!\\xa0 Interested in an online ultrasound fellowship? \\xa0Click here\\xa0to find out more.'
