Though the patients in this study were already known to have STEMI on EKG, the application of this procedure may be helpful when patients arrive with NSTEMI or elevated cardiac markers to help in the clinical decision making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limitations:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Study was conducted using just 9 residents, and 2 of the residents did the vast majority of the scans. It is possible that these residents are already skilled in ultrasound, so to truly gauge whether this method is broadly teachable, many more residents (with varying levels of baseline ultrasound experience) would need to be evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Authors Conclusion<\/h3><div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to diagnose a RWMA offers emergency clinicians another tool to help manage patients with chest pain and suspected ACS. These data support the introduction of focused training in RWMA identification and expansion of the clinical use of emergency and critical care echocardiography.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Our Conclusion<\/h3><div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an interesting concept that emergency medicine residents can be trained to successfully identify RWMA using echocardiography. If, and how, this should be implemented in clinical practice is still yet to be explored. Perhaps this could be used in cases of NSTEMI or elevated cardiac markers to help inform clinical decision making, but this study does not answer the question of whether this skill will be clinically useful for ED physicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span12  mpce-prvt-1570-5ef827785bcec mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Bottom Line&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is possible to train emergency medicine physicians to identify regional wall motion abnormalities using echocardiography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span12  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-obj motopress-accordion motopress-accordion-dark\" data-atts=\"{&quot;active&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;collapsible&quot;:true,&quot;header&quot;:&quot;&gt; div &gt; h3&quot;,&quot;heightStyle&quot;:&quot;content&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Authors<\/h3><div>\n<p>This post was written by Allison Auchter, MS4 at UCSD School of Medicine, Charles Murchison, MD and Amir Aminlari, MD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>References <\/h3><div>\n<p>P.E.
