Hemodynamic management during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: a narrative review of proper targets for safe execution and troubleshooting [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023 Off-pump coronary surgery requires mechanical cardiac displacement, which results in bi-ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Although transient, subsequent hemodynamic deterioration can be associated with poor prognosis and, in extreme cases ...

Echocardiography versus right heart catheterization in class I pulmonary hypertension
Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014 It has been agreed that pulmonary hypertension should be determined by right heart catheterization. However, being invasive and refused by many patients, echocardiography was thought to be a reasonable substitute to determine a solid diagnosis of ...
