*Right heart chambers: right atrium and right ventricle volumes within normal limits, and normal pulmonary artery dimensions. The tricuspid valve is unremarkable with mild regurgitation. *Pericardial cavity: no significant echogenic areas detected. ...
But if you want to assess right heart pathologies, it is often necessary to use additional and sometimes even "exotic" views. In this chapter, we will show you how you can get more out of your exam. Here you will see many live imaging demonstrations, simulations and echo examples. ...
The right or left upper chamber of the heart. Cardiac catheterization A diagnostic procedure (using a catheter inserted through a vein and threaded through the circulatory system to the heart) which does a comprehensive examination of how the heart and its blood vessels function. ...
Acute right heart failure (RV-F) [overview by 1, 2] is defined by haemodynamic parameters and the haemodynamic behaviour of the right ventricle, but results in a reduced right ventricular stroke volume [3]: RVEDV ↑—↑↑↑ and at the same time ↓—↓↓↓ RV-EF, and RV-SV ↓—↓↓...
Right heart thrombus (RHT) is a life-threatening diagnosis that is rarely made in the emergency department (ED), but with the increasing use of focused cardiac ultrasound (FocUS), more of these cases may be identified in a timely fashion. We present a case of an ill-appearing patient who...
0 T MRI in the quantitative evaluation of right heart morphology and function of patients with early pulmonary hypertension. Methods 60 patients with early pulmonary hypertension during a period from December 2014 to December 2015 were selected as a study group and,meanwhile,30 individuals,whose ...
In normal subjects, the right-sided heart valves are much harder to locate than the left. Although it is possible to direct the ultrasound beam at them, it is difficult to do so in such a way that the reflected echoes return to the transducer. Thus, it is unusual to record the complete...
Introduction Measurement of RV size & function is an essential part of serial monitoring in many patients with congenital heart disease. CMR has been regarded as the gold standard for this purpose but is not widely available. 3D volumetric echo might be an acceptable alternative. Purpose To assess...
