Capstan’s Robotic MR/TR Frontier Funding

CardiacWire

Focusing on mitral and tricuspid valve diseases , Capstans treatment combines transcatheter implantation of a folded valve replacement with its X-ray and ultrasound-guided robot to align the low-profile implant with the beating heart valve. The post Capstans Robotic MR/TR Frontier Funding appeared first on Cardiac Wire.

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.

A Child with Blunt Trauma

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds. In the ED, ultrasound showed hemopericardium with tamponade.
