Uma revista de Eco que vale o que custa – European J of Echocardiography

.
Sendo sócio da SBC e estando em dia, você tem acesso a “quase” todas as revistas que interessam ao ecocardiografista cardiologista.
Mas falta o acesso a melhor revista de ecocardiografia, a única de leitura obrigatória.
European Journal of Echocardiography
Eu assino, já renovei 2 vezes e ,mesmo pagando por volta de 200 euros, acho que vale a pena.
Você deveria assinar. Ou escrever para a SBC incluir no grupo de acesso aos sócios!
Contraste para europeus

Contrast echocardiography significantly improves the image quality during rest and stress echocardiography and at the same time provides additional information on myocardial perfusion. Contrast echocardiography reduces the need for additional, costly, and more hazardous tests and, importantly, spares the patient further invasive investigations. Thus, contrast echocardiography provides a safe and comprehensive assessment of cardiac structure, function, perfusion, and coronary flow reserve at the bedside.

Images from 64-row detector CTP. A, Partially reversible perfusion deficit in the territory of the LAD and a primarily fixed perfusion deficit in the inferior wall on radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging with increased subdiaphragmatic tracer uptake (stress, upper panels; rest, lower panels). B and C, Adenosine stress CTP shows a dense perfusion deficit in the LAD territory, as well as a subendocardial perfusion deficit in the inferior and lateral walls. D, Invasive coronary angiogram demonstrates a left-dominant system with a totally occluded LAD (black arrow) as well as intermediate and high-grade stenoses in a large ramus intermedius, the body of the left circumflex, an the ostium of the obtuse marginal artery (white arrows).
