Time to talk LVEF—the heartbeat of cardiac POCUS! In Module 3, Lesson 2, you’ll learn how to assess Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF%) using both your eyes 👀 and your measurements 📐.

💡 In this lesson, we’ll cover:
🧠 Qualitative visual estimation (eyeball it like a boss)
📏 Quantitative indicators like E-point septal separation (EPSS)
🚀 Signs of hyperdynamic function (when the heart is doing too much)
📚 Evidence behind using POCUS to assess EF in real-world clinical care

Perfect for residents, hospitalists, and point-of-care geeks who want to make smarter, faster decisions at the bedside.

🔊 Bonus: You'll walk away with practical tips to recognize reduced EF without a formal echo—because patients don’t always wait for the cardiologist.
