The subcutaneous (S) implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is safe and effective for sudden cardiac death prevention. However, patients in previous S-ICD studies had fewer comorbidities, less left ventricular dysfunction, received more inappropriate shocks (IAS) than typical transvenous ICD trials. UNTOUCHED trial (Understanding Outcomes With the Primary Prevention Patients Low Ejection Fraction) was designed to evaluate IAS rate a typical, contemporary patient population implanted...
To determine the feasibility and accuracy of digital echocardiography for routine interpretation two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography, we studied 93 consecutive patients chosen at random from our daily workload. The parameters included cavity sizes, biventricular regional global systolic diastolic function, valvular structure presence or absence pericardial disease. results were first interpreted using quad screen, format cine loops. These then compared with obtained reviewing video-tape...
Background : Patients who are anti-coagulated following pulse generator implantation have a 20% risk of hematoma development in the pre-pectoral pocket. In general, hematomas correlated with patient discomfort & pain, lead to increased infections, may require surgical drainage leading longer hospitalization. Objectives This investigation was conducted evaluate safety effectiveness associated use D-Stat ® Flowable Hemostat compared standard care. Safety endpoint evaluated incidence major...
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, a sustained decrease in blood pressure upon standing, is caused by autonomic nervous system failure and characterized an insufficient increase heart rate needed to maintain standing. In this case, neurogenic hypotension symptoms preceded diagnosis of Parkinson disease. A underlying significantly changed the course treatment for patient.An 84-year-old woman was referred cardiologist her primary care practitioner evaluation exertional dyspnea chest pain...
Recent advances in the production of echocardiographic contrast agents has resulted ability to delineate areas hypoperfusion after coronary occlusions and stenoses following their intravenous injection. Most these studies though have been done open chest animals. This study was determine if we could assess myocardial perfusion administration FSO69, a suspension perfluoropropane filled albumin microspheres (3.6 μm average microbubble size, concentration 8 × 10 ), spontaneously breathing...
We have previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of FS069, a new transpulmonary echocontrast agent, for myocardial opacification. To our knowledge, no information exists regarding use this agent transcutaneous assessment renal perfusion. studied 14 mongrel dogs using intravenously administered FS069. Renal ultrasound imaging was performed with Hewlett-Packard Sonos 1500 3.5-MHz transducer. blood flow (ReBF) altered artery occlusion in four dipyridamole (0.56 mg/kg IV) ten dogs....
