Does the revised cardiac risk index predict cardiac complications following elective lung resection? [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) score and Thoracic Revised Cardiac Risk Index (ThRCRI) score were developed to predict the risks of postoperative major cardiac complications in generic surgical population and thoracic surgery respectively.

The Cardiac Caval Index: Improving Noninvasive Assessment of Cardiac Preload

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2021
ObjectivesInferior vena cava (IVC) pulsatility quantified by the Caval Index (CI) is characterized by poor reliability, also due to the irregular magnitude of spontaneous respiratory activity generating the major pulsatile component. The aim of this study was to test whether the IVC cardiac oscillatory component could provide a more stable index ...

Fetal Cardiac Function: Myocardial Performance Index [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2022
Abstract: The Myocardial Performance Index (MPI) or Tei index, presented by Tei in 1995, is the ratio of the sum of the duration of the isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) to the duration of the ejection time (ET).

Can the Cardiac ARIA Index Improve Cardiac Care for Australia's Indigenous Population? [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Timely access to appropriate cardiac care is critical for optimising outcomes. Our aim was to derive an objective, comparable, geographic measure reflecting access to cardiac services for Australia's 20,387 population locations.\ud \ud ...

Thoracic Fluid Content Measurement: Diagnostic Value of Suspected Pulmonary Oedema in Acute Decompensate Heart Failure

Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020
Aim:One of the non-invasive methods of monitoring changes in cardiovascular haemodynamics is the measurement of transthoracic impedance (TTI). The most important features of this method are that it does not require catheterisation, it carries no risk of ...

The utility of B-type natriuretic peptide in predicting postoperative cardiac events and mortality in patients undergoing major emergency non-cardiac surgery [PDF]

, 2007
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels predict cardiovascular risk in several settings. We hypothesized that they would identify individuals at increased risk of complications and mortality following major emergency non-cardiac surgery.Forty patients ...

Cardiac troponins in intensive care [PDF]

, 2005
The cardiac troponins are integral components of the myofibrillary apparatus and they regulate muscle contraction. The measurement of cardiac troponins has replaced other biomarkers for the specific detection of myocardial necrosis and for the diagnosis ...

Predictive Value of the Transthoracic Echocardiography Index for Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Valve Surgery

, 2022
Background: We aimed to demonstrate whether the preoperative transthoracic echocardiography index (TTEI) could improve the predictive value of clinical parameters for cardiac valve surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CVS−AKI).

Baseline Values of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Preterm Infants With Septic Shock: A Prospective Observational Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Background and AimGuidelines recommended that cardiac index (CI) of term infants with septic shock should reach the target level of 3.3–6.0L/(min⋅m2). However, there are still no standard values for preterm infants with septic shock.
