DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN SUBCLINICAL RHEUMATIC VALVULAR REGURGITATION: ALONGTERM STUDY

Doppler echocardiography (DE) is known to be a valuable tool for detecting subclinical forms of valvular regurgitation (VRJ in theacutephase of rheumatic fever (RF). Previous studies have mostly dealt with the acute phase problem with only short-term follow-up. In this study, 24 children between 4-15 years of age (mean age II.X±2.7 years) with RF without clinically diagnosed carditis (most ...

Three-dimensional echocardiography: new views from old windows.

Intraoperative transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography: a basic vertical plane patient examination sequence.

We have previously reported a standardized stepwise transesophageal echocardiography transverse plane (monoplane) patient examination sequence suitable for intraoperative use. Biplane transesophageal echocardiography furnishes images of the heart and great vessels in both transverse and vertical planes. This report describes a seven-step vertical plane examination, the completion component of a...

Transoesophageal echocardiographic examination of a patient with venacaval and pericardial tears after blunt chest trauma.

A 58-yr-old male was admitted with blunt thoracic and abdominal trauma. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed acutely to determine the cause of intrathoracic haemorrhage. We found atrial septal haematoma and tear, which have not been described previously, and which may be useful indicators of major intrathoracic venous tears which are always difficult to diagnose. Although the o...
