[The right ventricle and tachyarrhythmias. The structural-functional characteristics studied by radionuclide
Abstract:
Radionuclide ventriculography was used to evaluate the functional structural parameters of the right ventricle systole and diastole in 100 patients with paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia without signs of cardiac insufficiency (42 with cardiac fibrillation, 35--supraventricular tachycardia, 23--with ventricular arrhythmia). Results indicate that radionuclide ventriculography allows to evaluate objectively the functional state of the right ventricle in patients with paroxysmal tachycardia, detect early signs of deterioration of its hemodynamic productivity and contractile capacity in patients refractory to treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
