Objective:
To evaluate the clinical value of application of emergency bedside ultrasound cardiogram (UCG) in cardiac intensive care unit.
Methods:
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 116 cases who received examination with emergency bedside UCG within the period from April 2000 to March 2001.
Results:
The positivity rate of examination with emergency bedside UCG was 100% among these patients. The diseases identified were as follows: acute myocardial infarction in 41 cases, angina pectoris in 16, ventricular aneurysm in 5, perforation of ventricular septum in 2, rheumatic valvular disease in 9, dilated cardiomyopathy in 9 and aortic dissecting aneurysm in 7.
Conclusion:
Emergency bedside UCG has important value in clinical diagnosis of cardiac emergencies.
