Focused transthoracic echocardiography (fTTE) has emerged as a critical diagnostic tool during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for efficient cardiac imaging while minimizing staff exposure. The utility of fTTE in predicting clinical outcomes remains under investigation.We conducted retrospective study 2,266 hospitalized patients at Rush University Medical Center with infection between March and November 2020 who received fTTE. data were analyzed association primary adverse (60-day mortality)...

Cardiac tumors are uncommon, and the vast majority of them metastases from extracardiac sources. Metastatic spread to heart causes symptoms by mechanical obstruction circulation, direct myocardial invasion, or distal embolization. We herein report a case 58-year-old male who presented hospital with multilobar intracranial embolic infarcts was found have small cell lung cancer (SCLC) invasion left atrium pulmonary artery resulting in malignant stroke. Cerebral tumor thromboembolism SCLC is...
•Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 20 times more common than primary tumors.•Metastatic CS to the myocardium has only rarely been described in case reports.•Cardiac masses differentiated by clinical context, location, and imaging appearance.•CMR is considered gold standard imaging, but TEE was key this case.
The 35th Annual Advances in Contrast Ultrasound International Bubble Conference convened Chicago, IL, USA, on September 30th to October 1st, 2021. It featured a range of novel research from animal studies clinical applications multiple organ systems, demonstrating the utility contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). A multidisciplinary group experts use CEUS, including physicians, basic scientists, engineers, and industry partners, discuss cutting edge new for CEUS. conference demonstrated wide...
Methaemoglobinemia is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of topical benzocaine use that requires prompt identification in patients who undergo transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In this case, a 21-year-old patient had sustained stroke with residual right-sided weakness few days prior to presentation underwent TEE evaluate for intracardiac shunt. She required intubation as part her poststroke care some instrumentation the posterior oropharynx. Shortly after TEE,...
Abstract Background To investigate the effect of pre‐existing neurological symptoms and disease in coronavirus 2019 (COVID‐19) health outcomes a large Illinois‐based cohort. Method A multicenter retrospective study analyzed differences cohort COVID‐19 positive patients with without baseline or admitted to RUSH University Systems for Health from March November 2020. We measured sex outcome hospitalization rates, during initial admission, complications, readmissions, mortality two groups....
Long-term usage of various drug combinations in treatment moderate to severe arterial hypertension: clinical efficacy, hemodynamics and heart morpho-functional values.
The 34th annual Advances in Contrast Ultrasound (ACU) International Bubble Conference convened Chicago, IL, USA, on September 5-6, 2019 to feature new directions of research, preclinical and first-in-man clinical trials, novel applications highlighting the diversity utility contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). An expert group comprising clinicians, engineers, basic scientists, government officials, attorneys, industry partners collaborate cutting-edge enhancement technology. Utilizing this...
