Abstract INTRODUCTION: Cardiac involvement seems to impact prognosis of COVID-19, being more frequent in critically ill patients. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, evaluated by bedside echocardiography (echo), in patients hospitalize...
“Point of Care Ultrasonography” offers numerous clinical advantages in guiding patient management by answering specific questions and as a support tool for invasive procedures. By avoiding unnecessary transfers and more complex examinations, it also has logistical benefits. Its use has spread beyond ...
Both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography have allowed a significant improvement in cardiovascular monitoring. With adequate training and in the search for specific answers, echocardiography can be very useful....
Echocardiographic abnormalities are associated with a higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether echocardiographic abnormalities are predictors of cardiovascular events in individuals without previous cardiovascular diseases.

OBJECTIVES: Coronary artery disease is the primary cause of death and is responsible for a high number of hospitalizations worldwide. Ventricular remodeling is associated with worse prognosis following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is a risk factor for ventricular dysfunction and...
