TakeHome Points

Ultrasound can help guide therapy after CCB ingestion in terms of filling the tank with fluids or starting with pressors/inotropes/insulin
Consider looking at EPSS to determine patients with objectively decreased EF
Use ultrasound to evaluate tox patients to add to our knowledge. Scan, record, share, help out your colleagues
