Restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis: non-invasive distinction by digitised M mode echocardiography.
It is difficult to distinguish between restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis on the basis of clinical findings and simple investigation. Cardiac catheterisation has been the reference standard for diagnosis but even this does not always permit an accurate distinction. A Summagraphics digitiser and Prime 750 computer system were used to digitise the echocardiograms of 15 patie...
متن کاملRedefining Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis with Echocardiography
BACKGROUND Effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) is traditionally diagnosed by using the expensive and invasive technique of direct pressure measurements in the pericardial space and the right atrium. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic role of echocardiography in tuberculous ECP. METHODS Intrapericardial and right atrial pressures were measured pre- and post-pericardiocente...
متن کاملDiagnostic role of Doppler echocardiography in constrictive pericarditis.
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to assess the diagnostic role of Doppler echocardiography in constrictive pericarditis. BACKGROUND It has been observed that patients with constrictive pericarditis have a characteristic Doppler pattern of respiratory variation in ventricular filling and central venous flow velocities. However, the observation was based on a small number of patients with kn...
متن کاملRole of echocardiography in the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.
The clinical recognition of constrictive pericarditis (CP) is important but challenging. In addition to Doppler echocardiography, newer echocardiographic techniques for deciphering myocardial deformation have facilitated the noninvasive recognition of CP and its differentiation from restrictive cardiomyopathy. In a patient with heart failure and a normal ejection fraction, echocardiographic dem...
متن کاملComparison between M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis
Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for...
