Cardiac Output, Cardiac Power Output and Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring

A study published in Nature Medicine evaluated the burden of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease attributable to sugar sweetened beverages in 184 countries [1]. The study incorporated

Some of the important types of artefacts seen during echocardiography are attenuation artefacts, also known as acoustic shadowing, sidelobe artefacts, reverberation artefacts and multiple reflection artefacts. Attenuation artefacts

Most of the time ventricular ectopics are quite benign, especially if there is no associated structural heart disease. Occasionally they can be dangerous, mainly if associated with structural

Most common method of assessment of pulmonary hypertension by Doppler echocardiography is by using: A: Forward velocity across the tricuspid valve B: Reverse velocity across the tricuspid valve

Bernoulli equation for calculation of pressure gradient by Doppler echocardiography is: A: P=2V2 B: P=3V2 C: P=4V2 D: P=4V3 Correct answer: C: P=4V2 Original Bernoulli equation is a
