Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Predicting Adverse Outcomes in Emergency Department Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism
This study is an observational, prospective study examining the role point-of-care echocardiography of predicting short term adverse outcomes in emergency department patients with acute pulmonary embolism. The primary objective is to assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-guided measures of right ventricular dilation (RVD) and strain in predicting clinical outcomes in …

Evaluation of the Right Ventricular Systolic Function Using Real-time Three-dimensional Echocardiography in Intensive Care Unit Patients
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an independent factor of mortality for many pulmonary diseases. Currently, RVF is defined as the incapacity of the RV to maintain the flow without dilating to use the Frank-Starling law (i.e., increase of the ejection volume associated to an increase of the preload). RVF is …

Preoperative Percutaneous RVAD to Preemptively Treat Right Heart Failure Post-LVAD
Prior studies have shown that left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation commonly results in right ventricular failure (RVF). Right ventricular dysfunction and failure after LVAD implantation is known to increase morbidity and mortality and contribute to longer post-implant hospital length of stay.

Outcome of Patients Treated With IABP
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP) is a widely used and effective left ventricular adjuvant therapy. IABP is an inflatable device placed in the aorta that inflates with diastole and deflates with systole. The aim of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients treated With IABP, and to evaluate the …
