Factors promoting stent thrombosis following surgery The most important factor promoting stent thrombosis following non cardiac surgery is the withdrawal of antiplatelet agents. Another important factor is that
Regarding risk of venous thrombosis in men vs women, true statement is: a) Risk of first venous thrombosis is almost equal in men and women and second venous
Urine albumin creatinine ratio predicts cardiovascular events Urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) is known to predict cardiovascular events. Elevated urine albumin creatinine ratio would mean at least low
Need for TEE guidance for septal puncture during BMV TEE guidance for septal puncture during BMV: Usually only fluroscopic guidance is required during trans-septal puncture to enter the
Wilkins echocardiographic score for mitral stenosis Wilkins echocardiographic score for mitral stenosis is useful for deciding whether the valve is suitable for balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV), also known
Peak vs mean trans-mitral gradient in mitral stenosis Peak trans-mitral gradient depends on the left atrial compliance and left ventricular diastolic function. Mean trans-mitral gradient reflects the severity
Quantification of tethering of mitral valve in ischemic MR Quantification of tethering of mitral valve in ischemic MR: Both two dimensional and three dimensional echocardiography are useful in
Mechanism of ischemic mitral regurgitation: a) Rupture of papillary muscle following myocardial infarction b) Transient ischemic papillary muscle dysfunction c) Geometric changes in the left ventricle following ventricular
