Original Source: Usefulness of right ventricular myocardial strain in assessment of response to thrombolytic therapy in acute pulmonary embolism.
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening illness that is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Patients with extensive emboli usually have associated right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. With anticoagulation therapy, RV function usually returns to normal. In patients with massive and submassive PE, echocardiography may directly visualize the embolus or more commonly provide evidence of its haemodynamic sequelae. The McConnell's sign involving sparing of RV apical contraction coupled with...

Sustained high ventricular rates during persistent or permanent AF can lead to a deterioration in left ventricular function, hence the requirement for rate control. Historically, digoxin has been us...
Ventricular Premature Beats VPB
Arrhythmias are abnormal rhythms of the heart and cause the heart to pump blood less effectively. Most cardiac arrhythmias are temporary and benign, often caused by strong emotions or exercise. None...
Ventricular aneurysms are usually aftereffects of myocardial infarctions. When the heart muscle (cardiac muscle) partially dies during a heart attack, a layer of muscle may survive, and being severe...
Ventricular tachycardia is a pulse rate of more than 100 beats per minute, with at least three irregular heartbeats in a row. It is a major cause of sudden cardiac death. The condition can develop...
