The cardiovascular physical exam is a critical component in clinical medicine. Findings from the cardiac examination (CE) are routinely used as a cost-effective method to assess the presence, classification, and severity of cardiovascular disease (Elder et al., BMJ 354:i3309, 2016; Vukanovic-C...
identification of subendocardial enhancement in this context. Our patient was being followed by CMR for response to the therapy, with several treatment decisions being linked to CMR findings (for instance, LV thrombus) in the past. Overall, we have highlighted the utility of blood pool nulling ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and an important economic factor in western societies (Anderson et al. 1991). While the known risk factors are readily identifiable by a combination of physical exam, laboratory analysis and patient history, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging theo...
A cardiovascular assessment in nursing involves determining a patient's cardiac symptoms in addition to looking for physical exam findings that suggest cardiovascular disease. An objective assessment includes physical findings on the exam (leg swelling or a heart murmur), while a subjective assessment in...
6 Most studies showed increases in arterial inflammation relative to uninfected individuals, but these findings were not reproduced in all.56,61 Furthermore, trials that have attempted to reduce vascular inflammation in people living with HIV have not been successful.66 It remains unclear to what ...
These findings point to a possible influence of the CVRFs over the course and severity of the disease. Indeed, according to our results, our MD population, when excluding potential aetiological factors, such as allergy/atopy, auto-immune disease and migraine, seem to have a high overall cardio...
These results align with findings from other studies of cardiovascular disease prevalence in AATD.28–30 Fahndrich et al reported on 139 patients with AATD-COPD, the majority of whom were receiving AAT augmentation therapy. Prevalence rates were 1.8% for myocardial infarction ...
A client has an Unna boot applied for treatment of a venous stasis leg ulcer. The nurse notes that the client's toes are mottled, and cool and the client verbalizes some numbness and tingling of the foot. Which interpretation should the nurse make of these findings? - correct answer ...
Finally, although we carefully controlled for major known confounders, the findings may be partly explained by differences in unknown confounders. In addition, socioeconomic status (represented by education and household income in our study) may be a significant mediator of the study finding because ...
