Objective To assess whether pleural fluid and urine amino terminal proB ‐type natriuretic peptide ( NT‐proBNP ) can distinguish cardiac from non‐cardiac causes of pleural effusion. Methods Blood, urine and pleural fluid were prospectively collected from cats presenting with pleural effusion categorise...
190 If time permits, all causes of anemia should be investigated, but data supporting improved outcomes in the literature on CS is weak. Intraoperative anesthetic and perfusion considerations are also important ERAS elements. Impaired renal oxygenation has been demonstrated during CPB and is ameliorated...
Abnormalities in impulse formation and in impulse conduction, individually or in combination, are the primary causes of arrhythmias. Substances can directly influence the initiation or propagation of the cardiac electrical impulse by altering the ionic gradients and fluxes that are involved in these ...

Tamponade can occur as a result of any process that causes pericarditis. Pericarditis can result from the following[3]: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection Infection - Viral, bacterial (tuberculosis), fungal [6] - After sternal biopsy, transvenous pacemaker lead implantation, pericardiocente...
It is known that cardiac myxoma occasionally causes a cerebral lesion. The lesion is presumed to be caused by embolism as in our case. So it is nes... T Furukawa,S Hayashi,M Sueshiro - 《J.j.c》 被引量: 0发表: 2005年 Atrial myxoma presenting as a pleural effusion and raised erythr...
Cardiac tamponade occurred in 8 (2%) of 400 consecutive thalassaemic patients during conditioning for or within a month of BMT. 6 cases were fatal; these represented 9% of all causes of death and 29% of those occurring between start of conditioning regimen and 30 days post transplant. The ...
Cardiac amyloidosis is one of the leading causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy. It typically presents with rapidly progressive diastolic dysfunction in a non-dilated ventricle. It is one of the under-diagnosed disease entities. The diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis requires a high degree of suspicion, ...
Clinically, the patient showed left-sided pleural effusion, jugular venous distension, and a congested liver. During cardiologic work-up, echocardiography, combined left/right heart catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) established the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. Under conservative...
Exclusion of the LAA may be performed at the same time as another open cardiac surgical procedure.Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in developed countries. Atrial fibrillation (AF), one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias, is a well-known predisposing factor for ...
