Cardiac tumors

…Tumors can be localized in the myocardium, pericardium, perivalvular (adjacent to the valves), etc. Cardiac tumors cause nonspecific symptoms that depend on the size of…

Soft tissue corticosteroid injection

…over the injection site. Bacteraemia or suspected septic bursitis or arthritis. A joint prosthesis in the adjacent joint. Known hypersensitivity to the preparations. Relative: Poorly…

Coronary Anatomy and Segmental Classification for the Clinician

…effect of the lesion. The apparent percentage stenosis is calculated relative to an adjacent reference segment presumed to be relatively normal. This assumption may be…

Strain, strain rate and speckle tracking: Myocardial deformation

…circumferential shortening (Figure 1C). Left ventricular function depends on a complex interaction between the muscle fibers in these layers, which collectively produces a highly efficient…

Epistaxis — compression, cautery and anterior nasal packing

…for expanding the tampon. Topical tranexamic acid on a pledget or as a solution has a good effect in anterior bleeding. Raise the chair so…

Left Ventricular Thrombus After Myocardial Infarction

…on multiple imaging planes. Location adjacent to hyperkinetic myocardium. Large thrombus burden. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can further characterize thrombus morphology and may assist in…

Cardiac electrophysiology and ECG interpretation

…which spreads through the myocardium like a wavefront in water. Specific ion channels located on the cell membranes open and close during de and repolarization…

Cardiac electrophysiology: Action potential, automaticity and vectors

…by a repolarization (recovery). The action potential occurs in all cardiac cells but its appearance varies depending on cell type. During de and repolarization ions…

Hemodynamic principles and calculations

…Laminar flow in a cylinder results in a parabolic flow profile, with the highest velocity at the center, and the lowest velocity adjacent to the…

Myocardial Mechanics: Structure and Function of Myocardial Fibers

…Contraction in this muscle layer results in radial shortening , meaning that the diameter of the ventricular cavity decreases (Figure 2B). The muscle fibers adjacent to…
