The work-up follows the usual cardiological guidelines. If the tests reveal cardiac conditions that call for invasive treatment, the strategy should be specified using a multi-disciplinary team approach (cardio
Infectious and rheumatologic workup continued to be negative. The patient did not exhibit symptoms of connective tissue disease. Seven months after the initial presentation the patient was readmitted with COVID-19 infection complicated by hypotension and a small pericardial effusion. Symptoms improved ...
patients are scored according to disease etiology, clinical presentation, and imaging findings. A score of 6 or more requires the patient to undergo immediate pericardial drainage. A lower score indicates that drainage can be postponed for up to 12 to 48 ...
The AHA report estimates that the negative predictive value of an ultrafast CT scan in these patients ranges from 90 % to 95 %, and suggests that a negative study may be useful in determining the need for further work-up with exercise stress testing and/or angiography. It must be realized,...
The patient is going to need an additional workup before a decision is made about potentially admitting to the ICU or discharging them altogether. An echocardiogram seems to make the most sense, but which one should be ordered? There is a higher risk of problems popping up with the order ...
participants were escorted to the MRI lab, attached to the measurement and stimulation electrodes, given the shock-workup procedure (seeElectrical stimulationsection below), and placed inside the scanner. In the scanner, we acquired BOLD fMRI images while participants performed the PAT in three runs...
In this review, the aim is to explore advancements in and the role of multimodality imaging in the diagnostic workup of CA. 2. Pretest Probability of CA The effectiveness of initial imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, cardiac tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance, in diagnosing CA ...
