Conclusion In this pilot study, we have demonstrated the feasibility of using ECG-gated 3D uSSFP for dark blood imaging of the heart, great vessels, and lungs. Further study will be required to fully optimize the technique and to assess clinical utility.Previous...
X-ray, CT, or MRI picturesmay be taken of your heart and lungs. The pictures may show the cause of your heart failure, or blood clots or fluid in your lungs. You may be given contrast liquid to help your heart show up better in the pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you hav...
Answer to: Trace the blood flow from an air sac in the lungs through the right kidneys to the right atrium of the heart. By signing up, you'll get...
Blood tests can help healthcare providers know if your heart has been damaged. X-ray pictures may show an enlarged heart or fluid in your lungs. An EKG records your heart rhythm and how fast your heart beats. It is used to check for damage to your heart. An echocardiogram is a type ...
Heart failure (HF) refers to a complex condition resulting from the structural and/or functional inability of the heart to supply a normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. In HF, impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood leads to fatigue , dyspnea , and fluid retention or edema...
occurs when your heart can no longer keep up with your body’s needs. This happens if the heart weakens, stiffens, and/or enlarges from CAD, injury, or too much strain, leaving it unable to work efficiently. As a result, fluid can backflow into the lungs, making it harder to breath...
Pentane is an end-product of lipid peroxidation, produced from the reaction between free radicals and omega-six fatty acids and excreted through the lungs. Breath pentane excretion is a reliable noninvasive index of lipid oxidation, and patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) excreted significantly...
and many other actions [9]. NRP-1 is involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection, including possible spread through the olfactory bulb and into the central nervous system. Increased NRP-1 mRNA expression in the lungs of severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been noticed. Up-regulation of NRP...

After that, the heart was repositioned to the thorax, the lungs were hyperinflated, and the chest wall was closed by planes with 4-0 non-absorbable monofilament mono-nylon suture thread. For postoperative analgesia, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Carprofen), sterile injectable solution 2–...
