1050-120 Echocardiographic and angiographic correlations in cardiogenic shock

[Tumor blush: angiographic imaging and echocardiographic correlations].

A 59-year-old woman consulted for palpitations of one month’s evolution. The electrocardiogram documented frequent premature atrial beats, occurring shortly after episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography performed to investigate these findings showed a left atrial mass, 50×35 mm in diameter, adhering to the interatrial septum. On the contrast myocardial perfusion study (Figu...

Echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic correlations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Attempts to identify a pathognomonic abnormality in 'idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis' date back to the time of its recognition. We examined the echocardiographic, haemodynamic, and angiographic features of 14 consecutive patients in whom the clinical diagnosis was supported by the presence of both asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior movement of the anterior leaflet ...

Cardiogenic shock.

The syndrome of cardiogenic shock (CS) comprises a constellation of symptoms and signs that define a subset of patients with inadequate tissue perfusion secondary to myocardial dysfunction. Careful attention to and rapid identification of patients at risk for the development of CS and those with impending CS by both hospitalists and subspecialists will help to implement the time-sensitive thera...

Cardiogenic Shock

Echocardiographic correlates of acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and in-hospital mortality in tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine clinical and echocardiographic correlates of acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality in a large cohort of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) patients. BACKGROUND Despite good long-term prognosis, life-threatening complications due to hemodynamic instability can occur early in TTC patients. METHODS The study populati...
