Comparison of M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiography in infective endocarditis.
Cross-sectional and M-mode echocardiograms were performed on 23 consecutive patients with infective endocarditis. Both M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiography identified vegetations in 18 patients, 10 of whom required valve replacement within 1 month of presentation. Cross-sectional echocardiography alone identified a vegetation in one patient with a prosthetic valve. Neither technique iden...
متن کاملInfective endocarditis of the aorta valve--demonstration of valvular vegetations by M-Mode and Cross-Sectional echocardiography.
Infective endocarditis is still a serious, potentially fatal disease despite newer antimicrobial agents. Drug treatment of infective endocarditis is frequently instituted on a presumptive diagnosis based on strong clinical suspicion and usually prior to bacteriological confirmation. The ability to visualise valvular vegetations by echocardiography serves as a useful aid in the diagnosis and man...
متن کاملLongitudinal Vs. Cross-sectional Analysis
The survey literature distinguishes cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, but most surveys conducted in practice are based on cross-sectional designs. The limitations of these cross sectional surveys are that they are confined to a specific point in time. That is, they provide us with a snapshot of a sample of a population at a single point in time. Since population characteristics constant...
متن کاملBacterial Endocarditis and Periodontal Disease
Bacterial endocarditis is the infection of inner lining of heart and /or heart valves. This disease is usually related to the presence of some pathogenic bacteria in mouth, digestive system or urinary tract. Most of the times, this infection happens in people with heart problems like the presence of prosthetic valves, history of previous endocarditis, some congenital heart defects and heart tra...
متن کاملCross-sectional echocardiographic detection of aortic ring abscess in bacterial endocarditis.
The diagnosis of aortic ring abscess by cross-sectional echocardiography has not been reported. In this paper, a case of bacterial endocarditis of the aortic valve extending to the aortic ring and the mitral valve is reported. The role of cross-sectional echocardiography in defining the anatomic distortion of the aortic valve in bacterial endocarditis and its complications is emphasized. This s...
