…Screening for AAA General principles Duplex ultrasound is the preferred screening modality because it is noninvasive, avoids ionizing radiation and contrast agents, and accurately identifies…

…function and echocardiographic assessment The importance of systolic function can be understood on an intuitive basis. Consider the fact that the left ventricle contracts and…

…In contrast to skeletal muscle, cardiac cells display a branch like morphology. As illustrated in Figure 2 all cardiac cells are connected, both electrically and…

…left ventricle contracts against much greater resistance (i.e. the pressure in the systemic circulation), and therefore it faces the highest workload; for the same…
