Abstract Background/Introduction Blunt chest trauma is a leading cause of mortality, with significant portion deaths attributed to cardiac injuries. These injuries can range from mild contusions life-threatening ruptures. Imaging plays crucial role in evaluating suspected injury after trauma. This study highlights the importance comprehensive imaging approach this critical setting. Purpose aims investigate presentations and diagnostic challenges wide following blunt trauma, emphasizing...
Cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal (ESRD) kidney transplant (KT) patients. Compared left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF), LV strain has emerged as an important marker function it less load dependent. We sought to evaluate changes using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) ESRD who received KT, determine whether KT may improve function. conducted prospective multi-centre longitudinal study 79 (40 on...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) requires urgent diagnosis and treatment to avoid related complications. Clinical presentations of VTE are nonspecific require definitive confirmation by imaging techniques. A clinical pretest probability (PTP) score system helps predict reduces the need for costly studies. d-dimer (DD) assay has been used screen patients shown be specific VTE. The combined use PTP DD may improve exclusion safely We prospectively Wells a test evaluate 230 consecutive who presented...
Nowadays, the diagnosis of cardiac myxomas (CM), particularly histological types, remains a challenge. Two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic (TT) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography (ECHO) represent first steps in imaging pathway. 3D ECHO, implemented practice, appears to be an emerging diagnostic technique that overcomes some limitations 2D ECHO while integrating information provided by magnetic resonance (MRI). However, its role arena is still debatable. Analyzing 17 13 patients, study...
Abstract Aims Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a potentially fatal multisystemic disease that remains significantly underdiagnosed, particularly in the Middle East. This study aims to evaluate prevalence and clinical characteristics of CA high‐risk population at tertiary centre Saudi Arabia. Methods cross‐sectional, retrospective, single‐centre was conducted hospital Riyadh, We reviewed medical records heart failure patients seen between August 2018 July 2022 who exhibited red flags for...
Abstract Retinal arterial macroaneurysms with supravalvular pulmonic stenosis (RAMSVPS), also known as Familial Arterial Macroaneurysms (FRAM) syndrome, is a very rare multisystem disorder. Here, we present case series comprising ophthalmologic and systemic evaluation of patients homozygous for RAMSVPS syndrome causative IGFBP7 variant. New clinical details on 22 previously published 8 unpublished are described. Age at first presentation ranged from 1 to 34 years. The classical feature...
Abstract Introduction Microbubbles (MBs) or cavitation is high‐velocity, echo‐bright findings present during the closing opening of a mechanical valve (MVP). Cavitation bubble growth gas emboli are less frequently described. We evaluated hemodynamic parameters involved in formation and impact on requests for additional investigations. Methods Results Transthoracic echocardiographic studies (TTE) 57 patients (31 males, mean age 46.8 ± 13.8 years) with were after heart replacement surgery. The...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a group of heterogeneous disorders that are most commonly passed on in heritable manner. It relatively rare disease around the globe, but due to increased rates consanguinity within Kingdom Saudi Arabia, we speculate high incidence undiagnosed cases. The aim this paper elucidate systematic approach dealing with HCM patients and since has variable presentation, have summarized differentials for diagnosis how different subtypes genes can an impact clinical...
The diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in the emergency department can be challenging particularly a patient whom chest discomfort has abated. Symptoms atypical, physical exam is often noncontributory, electrocardiogram usually nondiagnostic and cardiac enzymes remain normal. Thus, decision for hospital admission or discharge quite difficult. Here, we describe such echocardiography with strain imaging identified presence postsystolic shortening ( PSS ) at left ventricular apex. This suggested...
Background: Trifecta™ is an externally wrapped bovine pericardial aortic valve with a favorable hemodynamic performance and acceptable rate of freedom from structural degeneration. However, recent reports early Trifecta failure question its durability. Rheumatic disease in middle age population predominant, there no data on the performance, durability or safety available worldwide over population, as well previous Middle East region. We report mid-term clinical small annuls, single centre...
Cardiac lipomas are rare benign heart tumors. Their clinical manifestations primarily depend on their dimension and location. We describe a case of 14-year-old boy complaining palpitations. ECG showed non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT). Echocardiography cardiac MRI large apical mass suggestive lipoma. The patient underwent open-heart surgery which detected pericardial mass, partially attached to the myocardium, crossed by distal segment LAD. This critical anatomical relationship...
ABSTRACT Transcatheter native mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a novel procedure that has the potential to overcome some of current limitations associated with transcatheter edge-to-edge (MV) repair technique. The aim this study was describe key steps in periprocedural echocardiographic guidance TMVR Tendyne system, emphasizing caveats and areas difficulty. imaging pathway can be schematized four fundamental steps: baseline evaluation regurgitation (MR), preprocedural screening planning,...
