A 65 year old man, smoker, presented with a history of exertional shortness of breath over the last 4 months. He denied any chest discomfort. On examination jugular venous distension was noted with bilateral basal crackles. He got symptomatic relief after treatment with diuretics and nitrates. His echocardiogramme revealed global hypokinesia of left ventricle with severe mitral regurgitation. H...
متن کاملRole of Transthoracic Echocardiography in the Evaluation of Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion
Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...
متن کاملChronic total occlusion of left main coronary artery.
Chronic total occlusion of left main coronary artery is a very rare angiographic finding as majority of these patients do not survive long enough to undergo coronary angiography. We describe a patient with angiographic findings of chronic total occlusion of left main coronary artery with left coronary circulation collateralized from right coronary artery.
متن کاملNon-invasive detection of concomitant coronary artery anomaly and atherosclerotic coronary disease using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography
The prevalence of coronary artery anomalies (CAA) is reported to be 1% in the general population [1]. The symptoms vary from clinically silent course to angina pectoris, syncope, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Although coronary angiography remains a gold standard for the evaluation of coronary anatomy, modern echocardiography offers additional diagnostic opportunit...
متن کاملEditorial Chronic Coronary Total Occlusion
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is quite frequent finding in coronary artery disease. Comprised of a combination of fibrocalcific and thrombotic elements, CTO has been reported in approximately onethird of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. This thematic issue goes in depth into “coronary CTO ” that still represents the last frontier in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ...
