Abstract Acute pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition caused by the thromboembolic obstruction of arteries, which often leads to hemodynamic instability, right ventricular failure, and potentially death. Patients with massive or high-risk PE are particularly vulnerable may not respond conventional treatments, necessitating implementation mechanical circulatory support. Here, we discuss recent advancements in diagnosis multidisciplinary management patients highlight need for rapid...
Left atrial (LA) reservoir strain provides prognostic information in patients with and without heart failure (HF), but might be altered by fibrillation (AF). The aim of the current study was to investigate changes LA deformation undergoing cardioversion (CV) for first-time diagnosis AF.We performed 3D-echocardiography analysis before CV (Baseline), after 25 ± 10 days (FU-1) 190 20 (FU-2). volumes, reservoir, conduit active function were measured. In total, 51 included whom 35 SR at FU-1 (12...
Background: For patients with high-risk pulmonary artery embolism (PE), catheter-directed therapies pose a viable alternative treatment option to systemic thrombolysis or anticoagulation. Right now, there are multiple devices available which have been proven be safe and effective in lower-risk settings. There is, however, little data comparing their efficacies PE. Methods: We performed retrospective, single-center study on PE undergoing catheter interventional treatment. Patients receiving...
