Subjects underwent M-mode and 2D echocardiogram with color Doppler study. Reference values were derived for end-diastolic and end-systolic left ventricular internal dimensions, left ventricular wall thickness, left atrial dimension, aorta, LV mass. Measurements were described by mean, standard deviation...
Normal values for left and right ventricular geometry in childhood were evaluated from two-dimensional echocardiograms using a specially-designed computer program package. Based on the normal values for ventricular cross-sectional areas, ventricular volumes were calculated applying the algorithm of "sphere...
Normal echocardiograms of 121 women (97 pregnant, 24 non-pregnant controls) without evidence of cardiovascular disease were examined from the Montefiore Heart and Vascular Center's urban and multiracial patient database. Linear, area, and Doppler flow measurements of the entire heart were recorded. ...
This is a particularly important problem s i n c e t h e s e values and ranges of values change with each increment i n physical size. We performed echocardiograms on 1 2 0 w e l l c h i l d r e n of vary- ing s i z e s . These d a t a were combined with s i...
The aims of this study were to define all waves in the SCG that are common among normal subjects, to define the fiducial points related to those waves, and to relate fiducial points and intervals between fiducial points to events in the cardiac cycle as observed in echocardiograms of the sam...
Methods We reviewed clinical records and echocardiographic findings of consecutive patients who underwent an outpatient echocardiogram that revealed normal systolic function (ejection fraction, ≥55%) from January 1, 1996, through December 31, 2005. Diastolic function was graded using echocardiographic Dopple...
In contrast, despite recent increasing interest in aneurysm of the thoracic aorta, the prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysm remains less well characterized. This is understandable, as full imaging of the thoracic aorta requires more than just an echocardiogram, necessitating either computed tomographic ...
Describe the effect that an inhaler medication has, on an asthmatic patient. Do all the spirogram values return to "normal?" Why do you think some values do not return all the way to normal? How well What are the diagnoses of adrenal insufficiency?
Upper and lower whiskers mark minimum and maximum values with the range Q1-1.5(Q3-Q1) to Q3+1.5(Q3-Q1). Outliers are marked with an X. MPA- main pulmonary artery, DAo- descending aorta, DA- ductus arteriosus, AAo- ascending aorta, SVC- superior vena cava, UV- umbilical vein, PBF- ...
A triage physical exam is focused on life-threatening body systems. The echocardiogram is the gold standard for cardiac function and chamber enlargement. The chapter also explains two ways to calculate the heart rate. The mean electrical axis (MEA) reflects the area of the heart that takes the...
