Feasibility and accuracy of bedside transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosis of acute proximal aortic dissection
STUDY OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to establish the accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in diagnosis of acute type A aortic dissection in comparison to computed tomography (CT), with reference to the intraoperative image. METHODS The retrospective analysis included 178 patients referred to the cardiac surgery unit in our center due to acute type A dissection bet...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of transesophageal echocardiography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
OBJECTIVES We sought to establish the diagnostic accuracy of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. BACKGROUND Because of its bedside diagnostic capabilities, excellent cardiac images and lack of interference with resuscitation efforts, TEE is ideally suited to determine the cause of a circulatory arrest that is not due to severe arrhythmia. However, the ...
متن کاملFunctional assessment of mitral regurgitation by transthoracic echocardiography using standardized imaging planes diagnostic accuracy and outcome implications.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using standardized imaging planes for the functional analysis of mitral regurgitation (MR) as well as for postoperative outcome implications. BACKGROUND The feasibility of mitral valve repair is based on functional assessment of MR, mainly by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Considering the recent advances...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Transthoracic Echocardiography to Predict Fluid Responsiveness by Passive Leg Raising in the Critically Ill: A Meta-Analysis
Background: Hemodynamic instability is common in critical patients and not all patients respond to fluid challenge, so we need accurate and rapid hemodynamic techniques to help the clinicians to guide fluid treatment. Numerous hemodynamic techniques have been used to predict fluid responsiveness till now. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) appears to have the ability to predict fluid responsi...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of harmonic transthoracic echocardiography in native valve infective endocarditis: comparison with transesophageal echocardiography
BACKGROUND Although echocardiography has been incorporated into the diagnostic algorithm of patients with suspected infective endocarditis (IE), systematic usage in clinical practice remains ill defined. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of detecting vegetations using harmonic transthoracic echocardiography (hTTE) as compared to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with an inte...
