Routine cardiac troponin assessment after percutaneous coronary intervention
2019
: Although the angiographic and procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now very high, some severe complications may still develop, including periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI). An accurate diagnosis of this condition is essential for guiding the clinical management, as these patients may need a tailored management. The current recommendations for diagnosing periprocedural myocardial infarction based on the fourth universal definition appear at first sight straightforward, but the clinical and prognostic significance of routine periprocedural cardiac troponin (cTn) assessment remains uncertain. The current scientific evidence suggests that the likelihood of …
Elevated systolic pulmonary artery pressure for prediction of myocardial necrosis and right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism
2016
Kontext: Echokardiografie je v soucasnosti hlavni metodou pro vysetřeni dysfunkce prave komory (right ventricular dysfunction, RVD) u akutni plicni embolie (PE). Dysfunkce prave komory je sice spojena s nepřiznivou prognozou, dosud vsak nebyla přijata žadna obecně uznavana definice. Systolický tlak v plicnici (systolic pulmonary artery pressure, sPAP) větsinou neni soucasti kriterii RVD. Cilem nasi studie bylo zhodnotit možnost použiti sPAP v predikci nekrozy myokardu a RVD u akutni PE.Metody: Retrospektivně byly analyzovany udaje 182 pacientů s akutni PE. Pacienti s PE a hodnotami sPAP ≤ 30 mm Hg byli srovnavani s pacienty s PE a hodnotami sPAP > 30 mm Hg. Vztahy mezi sPAP na jedne straně …
Measuring physical activity with activity monitors in patients with heart failure: from literature to practice. A position paper from the Committee o…
2020
The aims of this paper were to provide an overview of available activity monitors used in research in patients with heart failure and to identify the key criteria in the selection of the most appropriate activity monitor for collecting, reporting, and analysing physical activity in heart failure research. This study was conducted in three parts. First, the literature was systematically reviewed to identify physical activity concepts and activity monitors used in heart failure research. Second, an additional scoping literature search for validation of these activity monitors was conducted. Third, the most appropriate criteria in the selection of activity monitors were identified. Nine activi…
31. Lokalisationsdiagnostik beim Hyperparathyreoidismus
1979
Im Hinblick auf die hohe chirurgische Erfolgsrate beim Auffinden pathologischer Epithelkorperchen ist eine invasive Lokalisationsdiagnostik mit Angiographie und selektiver Blutentnahme zur PTH-Bestimmung vor Erstoperationen nicht indiziert. Nichtinvasive Masnahmen wie Sonographie und Computertomographie lassen sich auch vor Erstoperationen einsetzen. Dabei eignet sich die Sonographie nur fur den Cervicalbereich, die Computertomographie im wesentlichen fur den vorderen Mediastinalbereich.
