Clinical correlations of Doppler microembolic signals in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves: analysis of 580 cases.
BACKGROUND The clinical relevance of Doppler microembolic signals (MES) in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves was evaluated by merging and statistically reanalyzing patient data from four research institutions (Departments of Neurology, Universities of Aachen, Halle, and Münster, Germany; Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Glasgow, Scotland, and Department of Cardiothor...

متن کاملDoppler Microembolic Signals in Behcet\'s Disease with Nervous System Involvement
Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology, and vasculitis being its major pathological feature. Objectives: We studied the prevalence of microembolic signals (MES) in patients with diagnosis Behçet's disease. We also tried to determine the frequency of MES in BD patients with or without neurological involvement. Mater...
متن کاملPrevalence and characteristics of intracranial microemboli signals in patients with different types of prosthetic cardiac valves.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial Doppler detection of microemboli is widely described, but there is no clear evidence of the clinical significance or nature of the embolic material in vivo. Thromboembolism is a major cause of morbidity in patients with prosthetic cardiac valves. We undertook this study to evaluate the prevalence and the acoustic characteristics of microembolic signals in thr...
