Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Cardiac Catheterization III: Left Heart Catheterization

631
Left heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function and structure of the left side of the heart. It is generally performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions such as valve abnormalities, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart defects.Diagnostic and therapeutic purposesLeft heart catheterization serves various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Assessing coronary artery bypass grafts.Evaluating coronary artery disease in...

ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias II: Atrial, Junctional and Ventricular Arrhythmias

503
Arrhythmia is a condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm, with ECG changes that differ based on its origin and nature. The types of arrhythmias discussed below include atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias.Atrial ArrhythmiasPremature Atrial Complexes (PACs): PACs are early atrial beats caused by stress, caffeine, alcohol, electrolyte imbalances, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, or certain medications (e.g., bronchodilators and decongestants). The ECG shows early P waves with an...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

119.5K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Primary and Secondary Growth in Roots and Shoots

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Left ventricular apical thrombus can occur after anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Further imaging like echocardiography or cardiac MRI is recommended to confirm and characterize thrombus post myocardial infarction.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical cardiac event.
  • Left ventricular apical thrombus formation is a recognized complication post-STEMI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges of left ventricular apical thrombus after STEMI.
  • To emphasize the role of advanced imaging modalities in thrombus characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic approaches for left ventricular apical thrombus.
  • Discussion of imaging techniques including left ventriculography, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Main Results:

  • Left ventriculography may indicate apical thrombus via filling defects.
  • Echocardiography and CMR provide superior characterization of thrombus morphology and extent.

Conclusions:

  • Left ventricular apical thrombus is a complication of anterior STEMI.
  • While left ventriculography can be suggestive, echocardiography and CMR are essential for definitive diagnosis and characterization of apical thrombus post-myocardial infarction.
