What is an echocardiogram? An echocardiogram is an ultrasound to evaluate the heart's structures and direction of blood flow. Read about the echocardiogram test, results, and the different types of procedures, including transesophageal echocardiogram, tr
1. Analysis of echocardiograms of patients with implanted prosthetic heart valves shows that the fibrous ring (along with the valve seat attached to it) is movable, which is an important factor for the calculation of valves and the designing of test stands.2. The velocity vectors of the ...
An echocardiogram is a test that uses ultrasound to show how your heart muscle and valves are working. These sound waves make moving pictures of your heart so your doctor can get a good look at its size and shape. You might hear your doctor call this test “echo” for short. Who Perfor...
Value of digital image processing of two-dimensional echocardiograms in differentiating active from chronic vegetations of infective endocarditis. The ability of a computer-based image digitizing system to differentiate "active" from "chronic" valvular vegetations was evaluated. Twenty-two patients wi.....
For instance, If the ECG suggests coronary artery disease,cardiac catheterizationmight be used to confirm a blocked blood vessel. If hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is suspected, an imaging test called anechocardiogrammay be ordered to view the size of the heart.5 ...
For instance, If the ECG indicates possible coronary artery disease, astress testorcardiac catheterizationmight be needed. If ventricular hypertrophy is seen, anechocardiogramis often needed to check for diseases such asaortic stenosisor other structural abnormalities.4 ...
Additionally, ultrasound technology has advanced to allow for other types of imaging: Doppler is a special type of ultrasound that creates images ofbloodflow through vessels. Bone sonography helps doctors diagnose osteoporosis. Echocardiograms are used to view the heart. ...
The actuarial maintenance rate of SR was 50% 7 years after surgery in these 43 patients. The duration of AF, preoperative left atrial dimension by M-mode echocardiogram and pathologic classification of the mitral valve were factors supposedly influencing the maintenance of SR for a long period ...
