New research could pave the way toward a new method of pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosis and monitoring.
The recent study by Holger Thiele and colleagues1 offers an extensive meta-analysis on the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS).
This results in increased afterload on the left ventricle, an increase in systolic blood pressure, and left ventricular hypertrophy, as well as other changes in the left ventricular wall that ...
It provides real time continuous advanced minimally invasive haemodynamic monitoring for assessment of preload, contractility, and afterload. The patented PRAM (Pressure Recording Analytical ...
A cardiac emergency in SPECT/CT and PET/CT occurs infrequently but necessitates prompt recognition and an appropriate ...
The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical relevance of metrics of RV functional adaptation to increased afterload. Methods Patients referred for PH underwent right heart catheterisation and ...
Pulse wave reflections reflect cardiac afterload and perfusion, which yield valid indicators for monitoring cardiovascular status. Accurate quantification of pressure wave reflections requires the ...
It’s about knowing why a heart failure patient should be treated with afterload reduction. It’s appreciating that hypoxic respiratory failure is best treated by increasing alveolar pressure ...
In the others, myocardial ischaemia can be explained by chronic increased afterload, including increased wall stress, wall thickening, and the modifications in coronary microcirculation encountered in ...
