Increased pericardial brightness with minimal pericardial effusion is a nonspecific finding. Echocardiography enables noninvasive detection of impaired left ventricular systolic function ...

Women are more likely to have pulmonary arterial hypertension, but men tend to have worse outcomes and worse treatment responses.

Only a few studies have been published describing the echocardiographic features of tuberculous pericardial effusion, especially with reference to echocardiographic intrapericardial abnormalities. 1– ...

In an asymptomatic patient, a pericardial effusion of less than 10 mm on the echocardiogram may be an incidental finding, especially in elderly women, as shown in the Framingham study.1 In these ...

More than 50% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) develop lupus nephritis (LN) during the disease, which may ...

Following an admission to the authors’ centre with severe anaemia, duodenal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Whipple’s ...

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a convenient and safe diagnostic tool used to assess cardiac anatomical structures, hemodynamics, and function (17). TTE can definitively determine the presence ...

Furthermore, routine postprocedural bedside echocardiography has the potential to quickly ... hours later could allow for more prompt intervention if a new or larger pericardial effusion is identified ...

Inclusion criteria required that a patient had a clinical diagnosis of NS and had at least one evaluation by a cardiologist including an echocardiogram or cardiac ... patient developing a pleural and ...

The cardiothoracic ratio is generally normal, but may be increased due to concomitant pericardial effusion. Pericardial calcification, a sign of chronicity, may be observed in chronic CP ...

The device has evolved from one aimed at just functional MR to a broader HF therapy. EMPOWER will provide more insights.
