Non-invasive assessment of atherosclerosis
Non Invasive assessment techniques of atherosclerosis include Pulse-wave velocity at the brachial artery, Intima media thickness (IMT) in the carotid artery, Multi (64)-slice computed tomography (MSCT) for imaging of coronary lesions, Arterial pulse wave form analysis, Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and Computed Tomography for coronary calcium. The potentially applicable screening tools have to be ...
متن کاملHepatic steatosis and fibrosis: Non-invasive assessment
Chronic liver disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and usually develops over many years, as a result of chronic inflammation and scarring, resulting in end-stage liver disease and its complications. The progression of disease is characterised by ongoing inflammation and consequent fibrosis, although hepatic steatosis is increasingly being recognised as an important path...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of isolated atrial defects.
This study attempts to predict the size of shunt in secundum atrial septal defects by non-invasive M-mode echocardiography. The areas under the excursions of the mitral and tricuspid valves were measured with a sonic digitiser and the ratio of these areas compared with the shunt size as obtained at c'atheterisation. The relation between the mitral and tricuspid valve areas in patients with atri...
متن کامل[Non-invasive assessment of cardiac function].
Noninvasive assessment of cardiac function by Doppler echocardiography is reviewed. The heart propels the blood through the repeated sequence of systole and diastole. The systolic function is essential to maintain the biological function of the whole body. However, before the heart ejects the blood during systole, the heart must be filled up with blood during the preceding diastole. Thus, the d...
متن کامل[Non-invasive assessment of endothelial function].
Endothelial dysfunction is an early event in atherosclerosis preceding the formation of plaques. An important functional consequence of endothelial damage is reduced vasodilatory responses to a variety of pharmacological and physiological stimuli including reactive hyperaemia. Hitherto, endothelial function could only be assessed by invasive techniques, but a novel ultrasound based technique ha...
