Strain, strain rate and speckle tracking: Myocardial deformation

…investigating left ventricular function — e.g ejection fraction (EF), fractional sorting (FS), etc — do not elucidate regional variations in contractile function, or the effectiveness of…

Myocardial Injury Versus Infarction: Interpreting Troponin Elevation

…Troponin I is highly specific for myocardial injury. Interpretation of troponin T is more complex because injured skeletal muscle may express proteins detected by some…

Congenital heart disease & GUCH (Grown Up Congenital Heart disease)

…thickness. Strain imaging is also used routinely to visualize regional myocardial function and mechanics. Loading conditions and heart rate may affect left ventricular function. Transesophageal…

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy / Dysplasia (ARVC, ARVD)

…shows global right ventricular dilation. The left ventricle and the septum are generally spared. Regional wall motion abnormalities–i.e hypokinesia, dyskinesia and kinesia–may…

Cardiac arrest in intoxication (poisoning)

…However, refrain from rescue breaths to mitigate the risk of potential contaminants endangering the rescuer. Contact expertise Contact your national or regional poison control centre…

Early repolarization pattern on ECG (early repolarization syndrome)

…and syndrome: from ECG criteria to management Although the early repolarization pattern has been recognized for almost 50 years, it is still one of the…

Interpretation of Pacemaker ECG

…in left bundle branch block (LBBB), which explains why paced QRS complexes are similar to the QRS morphology during LBBB. Stimulation in other regions of…

The QRS complex: ECG features of the Q-wave, R-wave, S-wave & duration
