Imaging the right heart: the use of integrated multimodality imaging.
During recent years, right ventricular (RV) structure and function have been found to be an important determinant of outcome in different cardiovascular and also pulmonary diseases. Currently, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are the two imaging modalities most commonly used to visualize the RV. Most structural abnormalities of the RV can be reliably described by ec...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولMultimodality imaging in the evaluation of aorta-right atrial tunnel.
Aorta—right atrial tunnel is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an extracardiac tunnel-like vascular communication arising from an aortic sinus and emptying into the right atrium (RA) (Fig. 1). We report the case of a 33-year-old man diagnosed following Streptococcus viridans endocarditis. The patient underwent successful surgical repair (Fig. 2). The proximal ostiumwas closed using a p...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging Assessment of Prosthetic Heart Valves.
Echocardiography and fluoroscopy are the main techniques for prosthetic heart valve (PHV) evaluation, but because of specific limitations they may not identify the morphological substrate or the extent of PHV pathology. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have emerged as new potential imaging modalities for valve prostheses. We present an overview of the possib...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging of Heart Valve Disease
Unidentified heart valve disease is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality. It has therefore become important to accurately identify, assess and monitor patients with this condition in order that appropriate and timely intervention can occur. Although echocardiography has emerged as the predominant imaging modality for this purpose, recent advances in cardiac magnetic resonance a...
