Echocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Arteries Pulsatility Index in Fontan Circulation
BACKGROUND Late complications after Fontan procedure may be due to the absence of pump and pulsatile pulmonary blood flow in this type of palliation. Our aim was to quantify the degree of pulsation by echocardiographic method in patients with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (ECTCPC) in comparison with biventricular circulation and few cases of pulsatile Fontan. METHODS In a case s...
متن کاملHomocysteine and pulsatility index of cerebral arteries.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A pulsatility index (PI) represents vascular resistance distal to an examined artery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate an association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and PIs of the cerebral arteries in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke referred to a neurovascular ultrasound laboratory were evaluated...
متن کاملTwo dimensional echocardiographic assessment of communications between ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk or individual pulmonary arteries.
The value of two dimensional echocardiography in identifying communications between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk or individual pulmonary arteries was assessed in 24 children, all of whom had either angiocardiographic and surgical or angiocardiographic confirmation alone. Fourteen cases had truncus arteriosus, four aortopulmonary window, four anomalous origin of the left pulmonary art...

متن کاملPulmonary hypertension: echocardiographic assessment.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a clinical condition characterized by elevated vascular resistance, associated with a poor prognosis and usually diagnosed in late stage. Echocardiographic assessment of PAH includes early disease detection and functional heart evaluation, in order to introduce a more accurate surveillance at an early stage of the disease and to contribute to prognostic ...
