It is with enthusiasm that we welcome you to the April 2025 issue of RETIC.
We are pleased to present an editorial on the incorporation of sonocardiographers in echocardiography laboratories, addressing their role, benefits and challenges in clinical practice.
As usual, we include two reviews of great interest: an introduction to lung ultrasound for cardiologists and an update on septal alcoholization in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, highlighting the use of saline as an alternative to conventional echocardiographers.
We invite you to immerse yourself in our selection of clinical cases with a didactic and dynamic approach. In our already emblematic Trukipedia section, real scenarios converted into practical guides to master the use of different techniques await you.
We invite you to explore this new edition of RETIC, carefully crafted to inspire and enrich those who are passionate about the fascinating field of medical imaging.
