Cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI) may help into diagnostic iter (see below), moreover the final diagnosis is given only in some specific conditions by myocardial biopsy, and in particular is not indicated for the final diagnosis of HCM [34, 35]. On the other hands, it is not reasonable to...
Although both conditions are categorized as “non-shockable” CA, their causes and prognoses may differ. Interestingly, regardless of the cause, pseudo-PEA cases have shown higher survival rates compared to those with no detectable cardiac motion, particularly in those with organized myocardial ...
]. The shape and size of tricuspid annulus can change according to loading conditions with clinical impact. However, the two-dimensional evaluation of a non-planar, saddle-shaped 3D structure, such as the tricuspid annulus, can be difficult. The tricuspid annulus is the level where the leaflet...
It is an attractive imaging modality to diagnose PE. Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the contribution of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the clinical setting of PE. Results Eighteen patients were included. There were 7 men and 11 women. The mean age was 57 years [28;...
Although the accuracy of our model was similar to that of other studies, it is notable that the inclusion criteria in our study were broader than those in the most published studies, which were closer to real-world conditions, suggesting a high sensitivity of our model, which might be used ...
The following sections review the clinical conditions and applicable techniques of FOCUS. Cardiac Trauma FOCUS has been an integral part of the evaluation of the blunt and penetrating trauma patient for more than 20 years. Extensive research and literature support have led to the incorporation of ...
In low-risk postsurgical patients, haemodynamic monitoring of noninvasive blood pressure, heart rate and EtCO2 will be able to provide sufficient data to diagnose an unexpected haemodynamic instability. In high-risk or in intermediate-risk postsurgical patients, it may be sufficient to perform a SVV...
It is easy to clarify the three-dimensional shape, lesion range, and the relationship between adjacent structures of cardiovascular diseases under dynamic conditions, and has great application value in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Three dimensional echocardiography can directly display the ...
shunt occlusion, and other unstable conditions) and in relative or absolute contraindications of CMR (e.g., presence of a pacemaker, a defibrillator, metals causing severe artifact or in claustrophobic patients who do not wish to be sedated) cardiac CT or cardiac catheterization may be considered...
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT. Get Access AbstractM-mode echocardiography has been widely employed in the past in attempts to diagnose valvular aortic stenosis [1—4]. It has also been used to examine the pulmonic valve, and has been very helpful in the detection of...
