Left ventricular hypertrophy screening using a hand-held ultrasound device.
AIMS To test the diagnostic potential of a hand-held ultrasound device for screening for left ventricular hypertrophy in a hypertensive population using a standard echocardiographic system as a reference. METHODS One hundred consecutive hypertensive patients were enrolled. An experienced investigator performed measurements of the thickness of the anterior septum and posterior wall using the p...
متن کاملUse of a hand-carried ultrasound device by critical care physicians for the diagnosis of pericardial effusions, decreased cardiac function, and left ventricular enlargement in pediatric patients.
Prompt diagnosis of children with suggested cardiac disease in the acute care setting is critical for initiation of life-saving therapy. We hypothesized that pediatric critical care physicians could perform limited portable echocardiography in children. Portable hand-carried cardiac ultrasound units with 2.5-MHz phased-array transducers were used (Optigo, Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Mass)...
متن کاملEvaluation of a hand carried cardiac ultrasound device in an outpatient cardiology clinic.
OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic potential of a hand carried cardiac ultrasound (HCU) device (OptiGo, Philips Medical Systems) in a cardiology outpatient clinic and to compare the HCU diagnosis with the clinical diagnosis and diagnosis with a full featured standard echocardiography (SE) system. METHODS 300 consecutive patients took part in the study. The HCU examination was performed by ...

متن کاملPoint-of-care screening for left ventricular hypertrophy and concentric geometry using hand-held cardiac ultrasound in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND The introduction of the hand-held cardiac ultrasound (HCU) may potentially increase detection of LV hypertrophy in hypertensive patients. However, whether point-of-care screening for LV hypertrophy and concentric LV geometry by HCU in hypertensive patients is feasible and comparable to that of standard state-of-the-art echocardiography (SE) evaluation remains to be elucidated. METH...
