Summary

The role and value of cardiac imaging in real clinical context.

The Challengee: Dr. Valentino Dammassa, Italy

I was delighted to be guided by Professor Neskovic throughout the diagnosis of this challenging clinical case. Working mainly in acute cardiovascular care, I have never encountered a ... (sorry but I can not tell you the diagnosis) and it was quite difficult to spot all the related echocardiographic findings. Now, those signs are stuck in my memory: hopefully, I will not miss this diagnosis in real-life clinical practice.
