Real-time myocardial perfusion contrast echocardiography and regional wall motion abnormalities after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The pathophysiology of myocardial dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unclear. Using myocardial real-time perfusion contrast echocardiography (RTP-CE), the authors evaluated microvascular function in patients with acute ... Read more...

Training guidelines for ultrasound: worldwide trends.

30 Aug 2009 Sound travels through objects that block light. Only very recently has technology advanced enough to decipher ultrasound for medical use. Machines have become smaller, cheaper, more versatile and more advanced than ever before. The medical use of ... Read more...

Limited transthoracic echocardiography assessment in anaesthesia and critical care.

30 Aug 2009 The use of echocardiography in anaesthesia and critical care started with transoesophageal echocardiography, whereas transthoracic echocardiography was largely the domain of the cardiologist. In recent times, there has been a change in focus towards ... Read more...
