QR in V1 - an ECG sign associated with right ventricular strain and adverse clinical outcome in pulmonary embolism [PDF]

, 2017
Aims To test the hypothesis that Qr in V1is a predictor of pulmonary embolism, right ventricular strain, and adverse clinical outcome. Methods and Results ECG's from 151 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism were blindly interpreted by two observers.

Mechanisms of Transplant Right Ventricular Dysfunction

Annals of Surgery, 1995
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction remains the leading cause of early mortality after cardiac transplantation. The effect of brain death and subsequent hypothermic cardioplegic arrest and storage on subsequent post-transplant right ventricular function was examined.Right ventricular dysfunction in the donor heart usually is attributed to failure of the

Preliminary Study of a Ninj1‐Loaded Bimodal Ultrasound/NIR Fluorescence Targeted Molecular Probe for Diagnosing Early‐Stage Inflammation in Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) targeting remains a challenge for precise diagnosis. This work presents a dual‐modal nanoprobe (T‐IR780‐NBs) that combines ultrasound contrast with near‐infrared fluorescence. This technology utilizes proteomics‐derived antibodies that specifically localize to inflamed and injured cardiac tissue, enabling ...

Levosimendan for patients with severely reduced left ventricular systolic function and/or low cardiac output syndrome undergoing cardiac surgery. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of levosimendan in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Two large randomized controlled trials (RCTs), however, showed no advantages of levosimendan.
