Multiplanar and 3D reconstructions were used to evaluate coronary arteries. Localization and morphology of aneurysms, as well as atheromatous lesions of the arteries were evaluated.Results: CAA were detected in 32 patients (0.9% of investigated group; age 41–80, median 58.5), more frequently in ...
is an excellent guide to recognizing and diagnosing Occlusion Myocardial Infarctions (OMI). From the simple and obvious to the very complex and enigmatic, complete and partial occlusions of the coronary arteries are an everyday fact of life for those in cardiology, emergency medicine, critical care...
The mitral valve between the left atrium and left ventricle The aortic valve between the left ventricle and the aorta Each valve has a set of "flaps" (also called leaflets or cusps). The mitral valve normally has two flaps; the others have three. Image 3: Coronary Arteries Our heart suppl...
the ECG may be relatively normal initially and then change over time to show heart muscle damage. Subtle changes may be difficult to appreciate. Repeated ECGs, blood tests, and monitoring may be necessary if the health care provider remains concerned about narrowing of the coronary arteries. ...
Introduction: An anomalous origin and course of the coronary arteries can be benign or life threatening. Recently, because of new advances in computed tomography technology, radiologists have begun to interpret the diseases of coronary arteries. Our purpose was to demonstrate some remarkable anomalies ...

Sometimes, of course, there is no prior ECG for comparison, and you have to actually use your clinical judgment. Always err on the side of caution, and look out for the patient. It is better to activate the cath lab and find normal coronary arteries than to not and have a patient ...
The pulse represents the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries as blood is pumped by the heart. By placing fingers on pulse points, such as the wrist or neck, one can count the number of heartbeats per minute, which is the heart rate. Which are Cardiac Parameters? Cardiac parameters...
The image quality scores were 4.31±0.36 and 4.29±0.41 from reviewer 1 and 2 respectively with an excellent agreement between them (Kappa=0.85). The detection rate for the origins of the left and right coronary arteries was 96 and 90%, respectively. The detection rates of the origins of ...
