Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Asthmatic Children
BackgroundAsthma is the most chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in children and asthmatic patients can experience cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and finally cor pulmonale later in life. We aimed to investigate Right Ventricular (RV) functions in asthmatic children by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE).Materials and Methods Pulmonary function tests, con...
متن کاملDetermination of the Effects of Digoxin on the Right Ventricular Function in Patients Undergoing Pneumonectomy
Introduction: Pneumonectomy is the standard treatment of lung cancer, even though patients should undergo several evaluations before surgery; deterioration of cardiopulmonary function after pulmonary resection is inevitable. We have evaluated the effects of digoxin on the improvement of right ventricular function and prevention of probable complications after lung resection surgery. Materials a...
متن کاملDescribing right ventricular function.
In pulmonary hypertension and other conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and left heart failure, right ventricular dysfunction is a prognostic determinant. Therefore, functional parameters pertaining to the right heart alone, i.e. independent of its loading conditions, should be used to quantify right ventricular disease progression and the results of treatment. Two methods t...
متن کاملAssessment of right ventricular function.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To emphasize the importance and clinical implications of right ventricular function assessment in many situations encountered by intensivists and to explain in practical terms how to perform such an assessment at the bedside. RECENT FINDINGS Assessment of right ventricular function requires a full understanding of the physiology of the right ventricle. The right ventricle, u...
متن کاملAorto-Right Ventricular Shunt after TAVR: Rare Complication of Common Procedure
Background The primary treatment of symptomatic aortic stenosis is aortic valve replacement. Instead of open chest surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative intervention for high-risk surgical candidates. Clinical Case A 92-year-old male presented with progressive exertional dyspnea and recurrent syncopal attacks secondary to severe AS. The patient underwent suc...
