Cardiac tumors: echo assessment
Tập 3 Số 4 - Trang R65-R77 - 2016
Abstract Cardiac tumors are exceedingly rare (0.001-0.03% in most autopsy
series). They can be present anywhere within the heart and can be attached to
any surface or be embedded in the myocardium or pericardial space. Signs and
symptoms are nonspecific and highly variable related to the localization, size
and composition of the cardiac mass. Echocardiography, typically performed for
another indic...
A practical guideline for performing a comprehensive transthoracic echocardiogram in adults: the British Society of Echocardiography minimum dataset
Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang G59-G93 - 2020
Abstract Since cardiac ultrasound was introduced into medical practice around
the middle twentieth century, transthoracic echocardiography has developed to
become a highly sophisticated and widely performed cardiac imaging modality in
the diagnosis of heart disease. This evolution from an emerging technique with
limited application, into a complex modality capable of detailed cardiac
assessment ha...
Cardio-oncology: what you need to know now for clinical practice and echocardiography
- 2017
Cardio-oncology is a rapidly growing field aimed at minimizing the effects of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. To meet this aim,
patients are assessed at baseline to define their risk of cardiotoxicity and
then followed closely during and after chemotherapy to assess for early signs or
symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Cardiac imaging, and in particular,
transthoracic ...
The current role of echocardiography in acute aortic syndrome
- 2019
Abstract Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) comprises a range of interrelated
conditions caused by disruption of the medial layer of the aortic wall,
including aortic dissection, intramural haematoma and penetrating aortic ulcer.
Since mortality from AAS is high, a prompt and accurate diagnosis using imaging
techniques is paramount. Both transthoracic (TTE) and transoesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) are...
Left atrial strain: a new predictor of thrombotic risk and successful electrical cardioversion
- 2016
Abstract Background: Left atrial deformation (LAD) parameters are new markers of
atrial structural remodelling that seem to be affected in atrial fibrillation
(AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). This study aimed to determine whether LAD can
identify patients with a higher risk of thrombosis and unsuccessful electrical
cardioversion (ECV). Methods: Retrospective study including 56 patients with AF
or AF...
Screening for rheumatic heart disease: is a paradigm shift required?
Tập 4 - Trang R43-R52 - 2017
This focused review presents a critical appraisal of the World Heart Federation
criteria for the echocardiographic diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease (RHD)
and its performance in African RHD screening programmes. It identifies various
logistical and methodological problems that negatively influence the current
guideline’s performance. The authors explore novel RHD screening methodology
that coul...
A systematic review of pocket-sized imaging devices: small and mighty?
Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 113-138 - 2018
Abstract Introduction: Hand-held imaging devices are widely used in clinical
practice and are a useful tool. There is no published review examining the
diagnostic parameters achieved with these devices in clinical practice. Methods:
We searched three online medical literature databases (PubMed, EMBASE and
MEDLINE) for all literature published up until January 2018. We selected studies
that (1) wer...
Impact of methodology and the use of allometric scaling on the echocardiographic assessment of the aortic root and arch: a study by the Research and Audit Sub-Committee of the British Society of Echocardiography
- 2014
The aim of the study is to establish the impact of 2D echocardiographic methods
on absolute values for aortic root dimensions and to describe any allometric
relationship to body size. We adopted a nationwide cross-sectional prospective
multicentre design using images obtained from studies utilising control groups
or where specific normality was being assessed. A total of 248 participants were
enro...
3D transoesophageal echocardiography in the TAVI sizing arena: should we do it and how do we do it?
Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang R21-R32 - 2017
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was initially proven as an
alternative to valve replacement therapy in those beyond established risk
thresholds for conventional surgery. With time the technique has been
methodically refined and offered to a progressively lower risk cohort, and with
this evolution has come that of the significant imaging requirements of valve
implantation. This revie...
Pulmonary transit time measurement by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in left ventricular dyssynchrony
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 35-43 - 2016
Abstract Background: Pulmonary transit time (PTT) is an indirect measure of
preload and left ventricular function, which can be estimated using the
indicator dilution theory by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). In this study,
we first assessed the accuracy of PTT-CEUS by comparing it with dynamic
contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Secondly, we tested the
hypothesis that PTT...
