Novel Computed Tomography Angiography Parameter Is Associated with Low Cardiac Index in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Retrospective Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of incomplete resolution of acute pulmonary embolism. We hypothesize changes in CT Hounsfield Unit gradient (HU-Δ) created by the dispersion of IV contrast through the downstream ...

Effect of different volumes of bupivacaine 0.25% caudal blocks on cardiac index measured by electrical cardiometry in children undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Indian Journal of AnaesthesiaBackground and Aims: Studies assessing caudal block’s effects on children’s cardiac output are scarce. We aimed to estimate the effects of the caudal block using different volumes of plain bupivacaine 0.25% on the cardiac index assessed by electrical ...

Education level may modify the association between cardiac index and cognitive function among elders with normal ejection function [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 BackgroundLower cardiac index (CI) in elders has been associated with incident dementia, and higher CI has protectively effect with brain aging. In the present study, we investigated the modulating effects of education level and arterial stiffness on the

Evaluation of cardiac index as a criterion for termination of resuscitation with fluid therapy in dogs with hypovolemic shock [PDF]
Āsīb/shināsī-i Darmāngāhī-i Dāmpizishkī, 2020 The cardiac index which is obtained by dividing the cardiac output on the body surface is known as the standard parameter to evaluate tissue perfusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiac index changes as a novel criterion to estimate the ...
