Regional right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism and right ventricular infarction.
BACKGROUND A normally contracting right ventricular apex associated to a severe hypokinesia of the mid-free wall ('McConnell sign') has been considered a distinct echocardiographic pattern of acute pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical utility of the 'McConnell sign' in the bedside diagnostic work-up of patients presenting to the Emergency Department with an acute right ventr...

متن کاملAssociation between regional right ventricular dysfunction and thrombus location in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
Patients and methods From January 2007 through May 2013, 65 patients were diagnosed with acute PE based on CT scan in emergency department. We analyzed retrospectively transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) of these patients who were performed TTE during admission. 3 patients were excluded because of indeterminable echocardiographic findings due to poor echo window. According to the location of the ...

acute inferior myocardial infarction (mi) frequently involves the right ventricle (rv).1-3 we assessed the prognostic impact of rv myocardial involvement in patients with inferior mi. one hundred seventy patients were admitted to the cardiac care unit of madani heart hospital (tabriz-iran) with the diagnosis of inferior mi with (group1) or without (group2) the simultaneous involvement of rv dur...
متن کامل[Right ventricular dysfunction and ischemia in pulmonary embolism].
Patients with pulmonary embolism and right ventricle dysfunction (determined with clinical, hemodynamic or echocardiographic methods) are a subgroup at high risk for complications. One of the pathogenic factors of right ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary embolism is myocardial ischemia, usually secondary to hemodynamic overload, and sometimes worsened by underlying coronary artery disease. We...
