Right ventricular endocardial potential in acute massive pulmonary embolism.
We have observed a constant and significant reduction in the amplitude of the endocardial potential recordedfrom the right ventricle in a group of 8 patients with acute massive pulmonary embolism at the time of the initial diagnostic cardiac catheterization and pulmonary arteriographic study. Despite the variable haemodynamic and arteriographic resolution of embolism obtained with treatment, al...
متن کاملEvaluation of right ventricular functions in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
We read with great interest the article by Gromadziński et al. [1] entitled “The infl uence of acute pulmonary embolism on early and delayed prognosis for patients with chronic heart failure”, which published in Cardiology Journal. They aimed to evaluate the potential impact of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) on early and long-term prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). In this ...
متن کاملAssociation between regional right ventricular dysfunction and thrombus location in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
Patients and methods From January 2007 through May 2013, 65 patients were diagnosed with acute PE based on CT scan in emergency department. We analyzed retrospectively transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) of these patients who were performed TTE during admission. 3 patients were excluded because of indeterminable echocardiographic findings due to poor echo window. According to the location of the ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Right Ventricular Dysfunction Markers in Normotensive Emergency Department Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We determine the diagnostic accuracy of goal-directed echocardiography, cardiac biomarkers, and computed tomography (CT) in early identification of severe right ventricular dysfunction in normotensive emergency department patients with pulmonary embolism compared with comprehensive echocardiography. METHODS This was a prospective observational study of consecutive normotensive...
متن کاملDoes Right Ventricular Dysfunction Predict Mortality in Hemodynamically Stable Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism?
BACKGROUND Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is directly responsible for 100,000 deaths annually. Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) on admission is considered a poor prognostic factor in these patients, though existing evidence of its significance in predicting mortality in hemodynamically stable patients is still unclear. We attempted to clarify this association by doing a retrospective review....
