Echocardiographic Evaluation of Hemodynamics in Patients with Decompensated Systolic Heart Failure
CIRCIMAGING.111.963496
.
Methods and Results—Consecutive patients with decompensated heart failure had simultaneous assessment of LV and RV hemodynamics invasively and by Doppler echocardiography. In 79 patients, the non-invasive measurements of stroke volume (r=0.83, p<0.001), pulmonary artery systolic (r=0.83, p<0.001) and diastolic pressure (r=0.51, p=0.009), and mean right atrial pressure (r=0.85, p<0.001) all had significant correlations with invasively acquired measurements. . ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Estudo comprova o valor do ecocardiograma em fornecer informações essenciais. Em uma UTI, isso pode ser a diferença. Com a expansão do setor de emergências da UNICAMP, somos convocados para ecocardiogramas todos os dias. E nossos resultados mudam o tratamento. Mérito de quem pede e de quem faz o exame.
