Tomographic left ventricular volume determination in the presence of aneurysm by three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging. I: Asymmetric model hea…

1996

To improve the accuracy of measurements of left ventricular volume in the presence of an aneurysm, we used three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging to analyze the shape of left ventricles in 23 asymmetric model hearts with eccentric aneurysms of different sizes, shapes, and localizations. A standard 3.75 MHz ultrasound probe with a rotation motor device was used to obtain a three-dimensional data set. By rotating the probe stepwise 1 degree, 180 radial ultrasound pictures were digitized. On the basis of the three-dimensional data set, the following parameters were determined and compared with the dimensions of the model hearts obtained by direct measurement: total left ventricular volume…

Role of CRT upgrading in pacing induced heart failure: A case report

2014

Abstract We submit a case report of a 78-year-old male came to our department for systolic heart, failure (EF of 25%). He has clinical history of recurring atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter previously treated in our department unsuccessfully with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The echocardiographic evidence of left atrial enlargement (left atrium area 40 cm 2 ) and the clinical history of permanent atrial tachycardia has discouraged any attempt of substrate ablation. As it is impossible get rhythm and rate control with drug therapy, the patient was subjected to an "ablate and pace" procedure with implantation of a VVIR mode pacemaker. Also, for the absence of indications (QRS width During…

Ceftolozane/Tazobactam for Treatment of Severe ESBL-Producing

2020

Abstract Background Few data are reported in the literature about the outcome of patients with severe extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) infections treated with ceftolozane/tazobactam (C/T), in empiric or definitive therapy. Methods A multicenter retrospective study was performed in Italy (June 2016–June 2019). Successful clinical outcome was defined as complete resolution of clinical signs/symptoms related to ESBL-E infection and lack of microbiological evidence of infection. The primary end point was to identify predictors of clinical failure of C/T therapy. Results C/T treatment was documented in 153 patients: pneumonia was the most common diagnosis (n = 46…
