Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. It is used in the emergency department, at bedside, in the intensive care unit as well as in the operating room.

"Pericarditis" strikes again

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

They found non-obstructive CAD, with only a 20% stenosis of OM2 and 10% RCA.

Haemodynamic and metabolic phenotyping of patients with aortic stenosis and preserved ejection fraction: A specific phenotype of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?

European Journal of Heart Failure

Venn diagram highlighting the main similarities and differences between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and aortic stenosis with preserved ejection fraction (ASpEF). Patients with ASpEF eligible for transcatheter aortic valve replacement ( n  = 125) also performed cardiac computed tomography (CT).
