Echocardiographic Findings in Dairy Cows with Cardiac Lymphoma: 7 Cases

Bovine lymphoma is a common neoplasm in cattle in area where bovine leukosis virus infection is common. Although the typical form of enzootic lymphoma can be easily diagnosed in clinical setting, lymphomatous tissue can cause non specific signs such as abomasal ulcer, ataxia or clinical signs of heart diseases. The aim of this study was to describe echocardiographic findings in 7 cows with a di...

Estimation of Ejection Fraction with Echocardiographic and Cardioangiographic Methods in 50 Cardiac Patients

Ejection fraction is the most important indicator of heart failure. Angiography , is a standard method to demonstrate ejection fraction but it is invasive. Therefore determination of sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography versus angiography is a good guidance for physicians. A total number of 50 patients were enrolled in a prospective study. Two dimension and M-Mode echocardiography...

Age-dependent electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes in German Shepherd dogs

By causing numerous changes in the cardiovascular system, ageing leads to a decreased threshold for clinical manifestation of heart disease. The aim of this study was to define the existence of cardiac structural and functional changes in healthy dogs of different age. Radiographic, electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic examinations of 20 clinically healthy German Shepherd dogs were ...

Prediction of fluid responsiveness using respiratory variations in left ventricular stroke area by transoesophageal echocardiographic automated border detection in mechanically ventilated patients

BACKGROUND Left ventricular stroke area by transoesophageal echocardiographic automated border detection has been shown to be strongly correlated to left ventricular stroke volume. Respiratory variations in left ventricular stroke volume or its surrogates are good predictors of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. We hypothesised that respiratory variations in left ventricu...
