متن کاملEvaluation of right ventricular function in patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is an independent risk factor for death in patients with COPD. Current prognostic models of COPD do not include sufficient indicators of right ventricular (RV) function to enable accurate assessment of changes in RV function over time. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that it would be useful to include noninvasive markers of RV function i...
متن کاملAcute Exacerbation Impairs Right Ventricular Function in COPD Patients.
INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may impair right ventricular (RV) function. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is helpful in the noninvasive evaluation of RV longitudinal function. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of acute COPD exacerbation on RV function assessed by TDI. METHODS The study included 30 COPD patients who had acute exacerbation and 30 controls. ...
متن کاملEchocardiography in the assessment of right heart function.
Assessment of right heart function remains difficult despite rapid technological echocardiographic developments. This review addresses the anatomical and physiological basis for assessment of right ventricular function. It also addresses advantages and limitations of individual echocardiographic techniques currently used in clinical and academic practice. The review concludes that volume calcul...
متن کامل[Low sensitivity of the echocardiograph compared with contrast transcranial Doppler in right-to-left shunt].
BACKGROUND Contrast transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) has a high sensitivity for detecting right-to-left shunt (RLS), and is probably higher than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and comparable with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of echocardiography (TTE and TEE) to detect RLS compared to c-TCD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Observational study of patients ...
