Background: Assessment of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure is among the important components a comprehensive echocardiographic report. Previous studies noted wide limits agreement using 2009 American Society Echocardiography/European Association Echocardiography guidelines, but reproducibility 2016 guidelines update in estimating LV unknown. Methods: Echocardiographic and hemodynamic data were obtained from 50 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for clinical indications....
Primary ventricular fibrillation (PVF) may occur in the early phase of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) prior to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Multiple electrocardiographic STEMI patterns are associated with PVF and short-term mortality including tombstone, Lambda, triangular QRS-ST-T waveform (TW). We aimed compare predictive value different for 30-day mortality. included a consecutive cohort 407 patients (75% males, median age 66 years) presenting within 12 h...
Aims To compare the effects of LV volume overload due to chronic organic MR or AR on RV shape and function. Methods results We studied 63 patients with moderate-severe severe primary 36 moderate AR. 3D echocardiography was performed measure volumes EF. fractional area change (FAC) calculated, assessed by calculating eccentricity index.LV EDVi significantly larger in than those MR. EF FAC were lower pts EI higher group. In both groups, showed positive correlations ( r= 0.693 for r=0.399 MR)...
Purpose: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the main limiting factor of long-term survival after heart transplantation (HT). CAV affects both epicardial coronary vessels and microvasculature. We aimed to assess either presence or risk severe microvascular dysfunction in relationship with time from (HT) validity flow reserve (CFR) as a predictor onset. Methods: CFR was assessed left anterior descending artery by transthoracic echocardiography 153 HT patients (122 male, aged 51±12 years...
Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) overload due to aortic valve (AR) regurgitation may affect right (RV) function. Elevation of pulmonary artery pressures secondary isolated AR is not common. Thus, the effects chronic LV on RV function remains be clarified. Purpose To assess determinants dysfunction in AR. Methods We studied 36 patients with moderate or severe (53±18 years, 81% were men). used 3D echocardiography acquire multi-beat, full-volume data sets and measure volumes EF....
Challenging cases -A journey through the cardiology universe / Problem solved: situations in Cath Lab leg progressively developed significant tense oedema and ischemic signs.Acute compartment syndrome related to venous system extensive sutures was confirmed by eco Doppler.Left fasciotomy performed ECMO cannulas were switched.Venous cannula inserted right femoral vein arterial axilar artery a dacron patch.Important bleeding of axillary occurred during procedure.Immediatly after surgery arm...
A 57-year-old woman with smoking habits was admitted in our Emergency Department oppressive chest pain, nausea, vomiting and syncope.Four days before admission, the patient referred similar pain hours of evolution.At hospital she conscious presented polypnea, hypotension, tachycardia signs decreased peripheral perfusion.A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed a sinus 4 mm ST elevation DI aVL leads depression inferior leads.Arterial blood gas revealed lactic acidosis systemic inflammatory...
