Echocardiography

administration of nitrates by the primary care medical professionals. The understanding of basic skills of 2D echocardiography helped us in timely intervention in 02 cases of cardiac tamponade and Left ventricular thrombus. Most of the patients who were referred were for chest pain were assessed by basic history, physical examination augmented by ECG, Cardiac enzymes , 2D echocardiography and tread mill test which were performed before retuning vast majority of patients to units similar to…

measured approximately 10 cm in diameter, soft in consistency, that showed no movement, sensitive to touch, with spectrum of associated anomalies (Fig. 1). MRI showed meningomielocela, vertebral and ribs anomalies and righed-sided Bochdalek hernia. Echocardiography did not reveal any associated anomaly. Her karyotype was normal. Prenatal and family history were unremarkable.…

The heart is the strongest and the most imperative organ in the human body. This remarkable machine keeps us alive from day to day. It is vital that we take care of our bodies so we can live a long healthy life. Even if we take care of ourselves through proper nutrition and daily exercise problems can occur which we are not at fault. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition that the cause is still unknown. Scientists believe it may be hereditary and people can be born with it, but never experience…

METHOD – 320 -6 = 314 WORDS Rats and Diets 36 Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 9 rats with each group fed a different diet. Groups consisted of Corn starch (C), corn starch + naringin (N) (CN), high-carbohydrate high-fat diet (H) and H + N (HN) (Alam, Kauter, & Brown 2013). Rats on H and HN diet were fed a high-carbohydrate high-fat diet consisting of 25% fructose in drinking water and a mixture of beef tallow, condensed milk, powdered rat feed and salt for 16 weeks (Alam,…

Introduction: about 9% of acute ischemic strokes are complicated with myocardial infarction, and about 2-6% of acute anterior wall myocardial infarctions are complicated with stroke. They occur at the same time or with a difference of several days. Case report: The patient is 47 years old female who had diagnosed lumbar disc disease and constant numbness in her left leg. The disease started with a permanent feeling of weakness in her left leg and transitory numbness in her left arm; at the same…

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Rachell Shempert APII MW 0800 Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is also known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken-heart syndrome. The name takotsubo comes from the similarities between the left ventricle and the shape of a Japanese octopus trap. Stress is a common occurance in cases of TC. In approx- imately 70-80% of cases, transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction with apical akinesis and compensatory basal hyperkinesis characterized. The other 20-30%…

“until the early 1970s” (Allen 46). Sonography was not a well known form of imaging until the late 1900s because no one knew much about it until they started to make new discoveries about imaging. Today ultrasound imaging is “the dominant tool for echocardiography, obstetrics, and…

The mitral valve (MV) plays a crucial role in cardiac function, controlling blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle. The components of the valve include an anterior leaflet, a posterior leaflet, tendinous chords, papillary muscles, and a saddle shaped annulus at the atrioventricular junction.[1] Deviation in the morphology of any of these components of the valve may result in comprised mechanical integrity of the valve and abnormal leaflet closure.[1] With studies suggesting that…

Nevertheless, some remarks about ablation therapy should be discussed: - The success of AF ablation is highly dependent on the operator’s skills and his experience. - There is no consensus protocol on how to perform the freezing period in the ablation and each laboratory takes the blanking period as they consider. The FIRE and ICE randomized trial concluded that cryoablation was found to be noninferior to RF ablation in symptomatic patients with drug-refractory pAF either non ablation…

isolated CCHB without any evidence of structural damage or myocarditis. Almost CCHB can be defined at 18-28 weeks gestational age, 6 weeks after passage of maternal IgG autoantibodies, due to fetal bradycardia and its confirmation is by using fetal echocardiography. Our baby showed bradycardia at 29 gestational ages in routine sonography…
