Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Risk Stratification and Reperfusion

…The principal pathophysiological determinant of early adverse outcome is acute RV failure. In acute PE, obstruction of pulmonary blood flow increases RV pressure load and…

🟠 Inotropes and Vasopressors

Inotropes and Vasopressors: Doses, indications, contraindications and effects

…Careful electrocardiographic and hemodynamic monitoring with ECG, central vein catheter and intra arterial catheter (A line) is warranted. Overview of vasopressors and inotropes Inotropes and…

Right Ventricular Infarction: Recognition and Haemodynamic Management

…preservation of adequate right ventricular preload while supporting left ventricular performance and systemic circulation. Improvement in left ventricular function also lowers pulmonary arterial and pulmonary…

🟠 Calculating Shunt Fraction (Qp/Qs) Using Echocardiography

…The shunt fraction (Qp/Qs) is a critical hemodynamic parameter used to quantify the ratio of pulmonary blood flow (Qp) to systemic blood flow (Qs)…

🟠 Mean arterial pressure (MAP) calculator

…A MAP of approximately 60 to 65 mmHg is generally considered the minimum threshold necessary to ensure sufficient blood flow to vital organs such as…

Anticoagulation Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation

…atrial appendage (LAA). The LAA is a highly trabeculated, windsock like embryonic remnant that exhibits uniquely low flow velocities during the loss of organized atrial…

Vasospastic (Prinzmetal) Angina: Provocation Testing and Treatment

…presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), in non obstructive coronary arteries, or in patients with intermediate lesions that do not produce physiologically significant flow…
