Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava
Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor that originates from the smooth muscle cells of the venous media and is more frequent in females in the V-VI decade of life. Due to scarce and specific symptoms, diagnosis is not simple, and often metastases to the liver, lungs, and/or lymph nodes are already present. A 44-year-old

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Abstract Aims Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is recommended as a key investigation in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in major guidelines. However, utilization and benefits are yet to be known in Thai patients. The study aims to evaluate the benefits of TTE and identify factors associated with the decision to perform TTE on patients with ...

THE MOTOR ACTIVITY OF THE VENAE CAVAE [PDF]
The question as to whether the establishment of a definite peripheral resistance requires active variations in the size of the venous blood-bed has been discussed repeatedly. In general, it may be stated that the resistance encountered by the arterial blood in its passage through the vascular system depends on: ( a ) the size of the arteriocapillary ...

The figure illustrates the study design and key findings related to right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH). Patients were stratified into two groups: those with PH (n = 53) and those without PH (n = 49), as determined by right heart ...
