Feasibility in the echocardiographic estimation of parameters of the right ventricle in prone position

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 90 (2), 2020
Abstract Background: Echocardiographic cardiac parameters in the prone position are usually obtained with an esophageal probe. The feasibility of obtaining them by means of a transthoracic approach is unknown. Objective: Estimating the feasibility to obtain parameters of the right ventricle by transtho...

Fragmentación mecánica y trombólisis guiada por catéter en la embolia pulmonar de riesgo intermedio
Mechanical fragmentation and catheter-guided thrombolysis in intermediate risk pulmonary embolism

Medicina (B.Aires); 80 (3), 2020
La tromboembolia pulmonar aguda (TEPA) sigue siendo una importante causa de morbilidad y mortalidad a nivel mundial. Su diagnóstico, estratificación de riesgo y tratamiento precoz son fundamentales, siendo su pilar la anticoagulación. En pacientes de bajo riesgo cardiovascular, el pronóstico es excel...

Impaired Right Ventricular Function in Heart Transplant Rejection

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (4), 2020
Abstract Background: The practice of screening for complications has provided high survival rates among heart transplantation (HTx) recipients. Objectives: Our aim was to assess whether changes in left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) are associated with cell...

Quiste hidatídico en ventrículo derecho

Rev. chil. cardiol; 39 (1), 2020
A 20-year-old woman, without known pre-existent conditions presented with a history of dyspnea on exertion, and palpitations for 6 months. Vital signs, as well as cardiac and pulmonary examinations were normal. Routine blood tests were normal. The ECG showed nonspecific ST-T changes. The echocardiogram s...

Unusual ventricular activation produced by temporary transvenous cardiac pacing: electrovectorcardiographic findings

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 90 (1), 2020
Abstract Complete heart block (CHB) results from dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system, which results in complete electrical dissociation. The ventricular escape rhythm can have its origin anywhere from the atrioventricular node to the bundle branch-Purkinje system. CHB typically results in bradyc...

Factors Associated with Recurrence in Takotsubo Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (3), 2020
Abstract Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by a temporary systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) related to a stressful event. However, the factors associated with its recurrence are still not well established. Objective: To analyze the main factors associated with TTS recu...

Apresentação de Software para Pós-processamento de Curvas de Deformação Cardíaca: D-Station

Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (3), 2020
Resumo Fundamento O emprego de Speckle Tracking para estudo da função cardíaca tem grande aplicabilidade em diversos cenários. A expansão do uso deste método requer ferramentas que permitam a extração de dados relevantes das curvas de deformação cardíaca e que sejam adicionais aos parâmetro...
