Estimation of Ejection Fraction with Echocardiographic and Cardioangiographic Methods in 50 Cardiac Patients
Ejection fraction is the most important indicator of heart failure. Angiography , is a standard method to demonstrate ejection fraction but it is invasive. Therefore determination of sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography versus angiography is a good guidance for physicians. A total number of 50 patients were enrolled in a prospective study. Two dimension and M-Mode echocardiography...
متن کاملPrevalence of Echocardiographic Features Suggesting Cardiac Sarcoidosis in Patients With Pacemaker or Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Basal septal thinning or localized aneurysmal dilatation without coronary artery disease has been described as a characteristic finding suggestive of cardiac sarcoidosis. We sought to assess the prevalence of this characteristic echocardiographic finding in patients with pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD).

متن کاملPerioperative changes in platelet count and function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients. Methods: A total o...
متن کاملCardiac involvement in Sydenham's chorea: clinical and Doppler echocardiographic findings.
Sydenham's chorea is often encountered in pure form, but it may also occur in association with carditis. Recently, it has been reported that silent, mild valvular regurgitation has been encountered in patients with rheumatic fever manifested by isolated polyarthritis and pure chorea. We studied 22 children with Sydenham's chorea to determine clinical and subclinical heart involvement at the tim...
متن کاملCardiac Electrophysiological Evaluation in Patients with Sarcoidosis
Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin that can cause sudden death. Objective: Electrophysiological evaluation of patients with suspected sarcoidosis with cardiac involvement. Methods: We studied 22 patients with mean age of 55.32 ± 13.13 years, diagnosed with sarcoidosis and suspected cardiac involvement. These patients underwent clinical evaluation, l...
