Echocardiogram-guided resuscitation versus early goal-directed therapy in the treatment of septic shock: a randomized, controlled, feasibility trial

Journal of Intensive Care, 2018
Objective Echocardiography is often used to guide septic shock resuscitation, but without evidence for efficacy. We conducted an intensive care unit (ICU)-based randomized controlled feasibility trial comparing echocardiography-guided septic shock ...

Recommendations for echocardiography use in the diagnosis and management of cardiac sources of embolism: European Association of Echocardiography

, 2010
Embolism of cardiac origin accounts for around 15-30% of ischaemic strokes. Strokes due to cardioembolism are generally severe and early and long-term recurrence and mortality are high.

Contrast-enhanced echocardiography for the diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

, 2005
The echocardiographic diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be difficult in patients with poor acoustic windows. However, contrast-enhanced echocardiography can provide better images in these patients and lead to the correct diagnosis.
