Digital supine bicycle stress echocardiography: a new technique for evaluating coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of digital supine bicycle stress echocardiography, a new technique for evaluating coronary artery disease during peak exercise. BACKGROUND Prior stress echocardiographic techniques have not utilized peak exercise imaging to determine the extent and location of coronary artery disease. METHODS Two-hundred twenty-two patient...
متن کاملFeasibility of real-time three-dimensional stress echocardiography: pharmacological and semi-supine exercise
BACKGROUND Real time three dimensional (RT3D) echocardiography is an accurate and reproducible method for assessing left ventricular shape and function. AIM assess the feasibility and reproducibility of RT3D stress echocardiography (SE) (exercise and pharmacological) in the evaluation of left ventricular function compared to 2D. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred eleven patients with known or ...
متن کاملFetal Echocardiography Indications: A Single- Center Experience
Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common lethal congenital anomaly. Early diagnosis of CHD by fetal echocardiography based on maternal and fetal indications is important and lifesaving. The aim of study was to assess the referral aspects of pregnant women to pediatric cardiologist. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study on 250 documents of refer...
متن کاملFeasibility and Efficacy of Intermediate-Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Initial Experience
We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of intermediate-supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients with renal calculi. Fifteen patients were included in this study. The intermediate-supine operative position was modified by using a 1-L saline bag below the ipsilateral upper flank. A nephrostomy and stone extraction were performed as usual. After completion of the stone removal, a ...
متن کاملEffect of dynamic myocardial dyssynchrony on mitral regurgitation during supine bicycle exercise stress echocardiography in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and 'narrow' QRS.
AIMS Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become an attractive therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Currently, patients are selected for CRT on ECG and on echocardiographic criteria analysed at rest. Whether the physical effort may further increase myocardial dyssynchrony is not fully established. The aim of the study was to test by the use of Doppler myocar...
