Hemodynamic management during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: a narrative review of proper targets for safe execution and troubleshooting [PDF]
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 ...

Validation of impedance cardiography in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Background: Non-invasive methods of measuring cardiac output are highly desirable in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We therefore sought to validate impedance cardiography (ICG) against thermodilution (TD) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in ...

Echocardiography versus right heart catheterization in class I pulmonary hypertension
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 ...
