Electrocardiographic response to urography

Electrocardiographic Parameters as Predictors of Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

INTRODUCTION Although strict selection criteria are used to select patients for cardiac resynchronisation therapy, up to 30% of patients do not have a positive clinical response. PATIENTS A total of 102 consecutive patients who had biventricular pacemaker/defibrillator (CRT-P or CRT-D) implanted were enrolled in this prospective observational study. RESULTS During the average follow-up peri...

Electrocardiographic response to exercise in patients with mitral stenosis.

On the assumption that a positive Master 2 step exercise test is good evidence for the existence of myocardial ischemia, the coronary circulation of 40 patients with rheumatic heart disease and isolated mitral stenosis has been tested by this means. The findings in patients of classes I to III are discussed regarding factors that might be responsible and the relationship of the findings to symp...

Magnetic Resonance Urography in Patients with Non- Contributory Intravenous Urography

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) is increaingly replacing Intravenous Urography (IVU) which has been the traditional modality for uro-imaging. However, the effectiveness and advantages of this new and costly modality need to be proven before defining its place in the uro-radiological armamentarium. We conducted a prospective study to assess the role of MRU in 100 consecutive cases where IVU w...

Computed Tomographic urography - A boon to renal enigma

Objective: Patients with suspected urinary tract disease are often referred for multiple studies such as excretory urography (EU), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With the recent development of multislice helical CT, many institutions have started to evaluate the use of CT as a single imaging test that partially or completely replaces EU. This stud...
