Abstract:

Introduction Focused echocardiography is widely used to assist clinical decision-making in critically ill patients. In the UK, the Focused Intensive Care Echo protocol is recommended by the Intensive Care Society to ensure consistency of approach and guarantee training standards. Concerns remain about the reliability of information attained by non-expert clinicians in focused echocardiography, particularly when this is used to alter clinical management. Methods A prospective, observational evaluation of 60 consecutive patients undergoing Focused Intensive Care Echo studies in a single ICU. Res

Abstract:

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of organ support indicated in selected cases of severe cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Echocardiography is an invaluable diagnostic and monitoring tool in all aspects of ECMO support. The unique nature of ECMO, and its distinct effects upon cardio-respiratory physiology, requires the echocardiographer to have a sound understanding of the technology and its interaction with the patient. In this article, we introduce the key concepts underpinning commonly used modes of ECMO and discuss the role of echocardiography.CaseA 38-ye

Abstract:

The use of echocardiography, whilst well established in cardiology, is a relatively new concept in critical care medicine. However, in recent years echocardiography's potential as both a diagnostic tool and a form of advanced monitoring in the critically ill patient has been increasingly recognised. In this series of Critical Care Echo Rounds, we explore the role of echocardiography in critical illness, beginning here with haemodynamic instability. We discuss the pathophysiology of the shock state, the techniques available to manage haemodynamic compromise, and the unique role which echocardio

Abstract:

Mitral stenosis is an important cause of heart valve disease globally. Echocardiography is the main imaging modality used to diagnose and assess the severity and hemodynamic consequences of mitral stenosis as well as valve morphology. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is sufficient for the management of most patients. The focus of this review is the role of current two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic imaging for the evaluation of mitral stenosis.

Abstract:

Echocardiography accounts for nearly half of all cardiac imaging techniques. It is a widely available and adaptable tool, as well as being a cost-effective and mainly a non-invasive test. In addition, echocardiography provides extensive clinical data, which is related to the presence or advent of different modalities (tissue Doppler imaging, speckle tracking imaging, three-dimensional mode, contrast echo, etc.), different approaches (transesophageal, intravascular, etc.), and different applications (ie, heart failure/resynchronization studies, ischemia/stress echo, etc.).

Abstract:

Management of medical cardiac arrest is challenging. The internationally agreed approach is highly protocolised with therapy and diagnosis occurring in parallel. Early identification of the precipitating cause increases the likelihood of favourable outcome. Echocardiography provides an invaluable diagnostic tool in this context. Acquisition of echo images can be challenging in cardiac arrest and should occur in a way that minimises disruption to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In this article, the reversible causes of cardiac arrest are reviewed with associated echocardiography findings.C

Abstract:

The evolution of echocardiography from 2-Dimensional Transthoracic Echo through to real time 3-Dimensional Transoesophageal Echo has enabled more accurate visualisation and quantification of valvular disorders especially prosthetic mitral valve paravalvular regurgitation. However, validation of accuracy is rarely confirmed by surgical or post-mortem specimens. We present a case directly comparing different echocardiographic modality images to post mortem specimens in a patient with prosthetic mitral valve paravalvular regurgitation.

Due to conflicting literature, the present study was conducted to diagnose dilated cardiomyopathy using 2 D - echocardiography and correlate these echocardiographic findings with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Abstract:

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) often manifests as the first cardiac event in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). International guidelines recommend natriuretic peptide (NP) screening for stage B/ pre-HF in asymptomatic individuals with T2DM, with echocardiography reserved for those with elevated NPs ("NP-gated" echo approach). Whether this strategy misses individuals with echocardiographic abnormalities despite normal NPs is not fully understood. Purpose To assess the proportion of individuals with T2DM who will be classified as Stage B HF based on biomarker and echocardi

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPurposeIn pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), echocardiography is frequently used to assess response to acute vasodilator therapy. We sought to evaluate whether echocardiography is sensitive enough to detect significant changes in hemodynamics using two commonly used thresholds (Barst and Sitbon criteria) as benchmarks to establish a positive response.MethodsSimultaneous echocardiography and invasive hemodynamics were obtained in 71 children with PAH at their baseline and maximal vasodilatory conditions. The change in echocardiographic parameters was used to predict AVT re

Abstract:

AbstractThe spontaneous closure rate of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is high, and the necessity of early intervention is debated. Quantitative echocardiographic assessment of the intima in PDA has not been reported. This study evaluated intimal thickness growth in neonatal cases of PDA via echocardiography and investigated its correlation with clinical factors. Seventy-three neonates were enrolled, and echocardiography was performed three times: within 24 h post-birth (first echo), 48 h after the first echo (second echo), and before discharge (third echo).

Background: Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for assessment of patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), but it is known to underestimate cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) measurements of LV volumes. We sought to assess the impact of increasing left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi) and left atrial volume index (LAVi) on the accuracy of echocardiographic measurements, when compared to CMR. Methods: NICM patients undergoing CMR between 4/4/2001-12/29/2017 with echocardiography measurements that were obtained within 90 days were retrospectively recorded. Blan

Abstract:

Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death worldwide. Since its discovery in the 20th century, Echocardiography (ECHO) has become one of the pivotal tools in assessing cardiac structure and function. With the increase in requests for ECHO, there has risen an unwanted problem - inappropriate requests for ECHO. There has therefore arisen the need to audit ECHO labs for the appropriateness of ECHO requests. The patients referred from the outpatient clinics and in-patient wards for ECHO from June 1st, 2015 till September 30th, 2016 were recruited. Their request form data, clinical inform

Abstract:

AbstractThe pulmonary valve (PV), although often less emphasized than other heart valves, is crucial for cardiac function and hemodynamics. Historically, the PV has been underrepresented in echocardiographic assessments due to its rare involvement in pathological conditions, particularly in adults. Additionally, the anatomical position of the PV makes it one of the most challenging valves to visualize using conventional echocardiography. Traditional two‐dimensional (2D) techniques, while foundational, have limitations in capturing the full spectrum of valve pathology and dynamics. Recent advan

Abstract:

Introduction: Although 4D echocardiography is used for many clinical applications, the evolving vortex flow in the right ventricle (RV) is relatively unknown and cannot be characterized with conventional echocardiography. An obstacle is that acquiring high frame rate (>100fps) data in presence of contrast is challenging and has not yet reported. Hypothesis: High frame-rate 4D echocardiographic data in presence of contrast can elucidate RV vortex flow via volumetric Echo-PIV (V-Echo-PIV).
