Echographic evaluation of ICU patients with tissue Doppler imaging: more studies and more consensus are still needed
many intensive care units (ICUs), cardiac transthoracic echocardio graphy (TTE) has replaced invasive monitoring in routine evaluation of acutely ill patients. Since the mid '80s, there have been many studies of ICU patients, most of whom were receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). With the emergence of new TTE modalities such as tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and strain rate or three-dimensional...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
متن کامل[Generalists are needed more than ever].
15 If today you want to keep up with basic and clin‐ ical research, you need to concentrate on a very small field and reach tremendous depths in this very field. And, actually, life is too short to also accumulate the knowledge necessary to do mean‐ ingful scientific work even on closely related top‐ ics. Hence, specialization is inevitable not only in research; it was a prerequisite for the de...
متن کاملMore studies are needed on gender-based outcomes in percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.
Gender-based outcomes have not been evaluated in unselected patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs). We investigated whether gender influences the relative safety and efficacy of DESs compared with bare metal stents (BMSs) in routine clinical practice. Using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Dynamic Registry, in-hospital and 1-yea...
