Lung function and respiration

Referensvärden Spirometry values are always interpreted against the predicted value for sex, age, height and ethnicity — not against absolute figures. Since 2022 the z score…

Cardiac amyloidosis

…low gradient phenotype, or those undergoing aortic valve replacement [1, 5, 10]. A history of increasing frequency of hospitalizations and visits for heart failure without…

Posterior Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis on the Standard ECG

…alters the resting membrane potential and action potential duration of affected myocardial cells. The resulting voltage gradient between normal and ischaemic myocardium generates currents of…

SGLT2 Inhibitors for Cardiovascular and Renal Protection

…Pharmacology & dosing Definition and pharmacological basis Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of oral agents initially developed for glucose lowering in type…

Aortic stenosis

…type of stenosis. The patients with low flow (stroke volume index <35 ml/m²) and low gradient (<40 mmHg) displayed the worst prognosis. Adapted from…

Pulmonary regurgitation

…choice for diagnosing pulmonary regurgitation. Continuous Doppler through the pulmonary valve reveals regurgitant blood flow in the parasternal short axis view. Pressure gradient and pressure…

Pulmonary stenosis

…the pressure gradient across the valve (ΔP) from right intraventricular pressure. The systolic PA pressure is an indicator of cardiac hemodynamic status and may…

Tricuspid stenosis

…there is no consensus regarding grading of tricuspid stenosis severity. Tricuspid stenosis is visually characterized by thickened leaflets, with reduced motion and potentially fused commisures…
