Detection of perioperative myocardial ischaemia
Sir,—We did not study the Belscope with the prism attached. The instructions with the Belscope state that the prism is only needed three times per 1000 intubations and is not recommended for routine use, as the medium restricts the field of view. The instructions state, and this is borne out by our experience, that where the difficulty of laryngoscopy requires the prism to be used, the tracheal...
متن کاملMyocardial ischaemia and viability: the pivotal role of echocardiography.
Echocardiography has a central role for the diagnosis and management of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Besides the fact that it provides an essential role in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with chest pain in the emergency department, echocardiography provides a comprehensive non-invasive haemodynamic and functional assessment of those patients. Stre...
متن کاملPrediction of myocardial viability by MRI.
In this regard, the temporal pattern of myocardial contrast enhancement on MRI is reported in this issue of Circulation to be a predictive index of potential myocardial viability for reperfused myocardial infarctions.1 With fast MRI, the firstpass distribution of MRI contrast media indicated that despite patency of the target coronary artery with TIMI 3 flow in all patients, reperfusion at the ...
متن کاملA comparison of high-resolution and standard cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging for the detection of myocardial ischaemia
Background First pass myocardial perfusion imaging by CMR may permit the detection of myocardial ischaemia with greater accuracy than single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Technical developments have led to improvements in myocardial perfusion CMR, particularly through accelerated data acquisition methods. These permit the acquisition of data at higher spatial resolution than conv...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction: importance of residual myocardial viability and ischaemia.
During the past two decades, it has become increasingly well acknowledged that a large, transmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may result in complex alterations in the architecture and function of the left ventricle (LV), involving both the infarcted and noninfarcted zone. These alterations, usually referred to as “LV remodelling”, can profoundly affect the patient’s prognosis. From the c...
