Focused cardiac ultrasonography is a practical, transthoracic, qualitative or semiquantitative means of assessing cardiac size, structure, and function that is performed and interpreted by the ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

Every year, around 50,000 people in the United States experience cardiogenic shock - a life-threatening condition, usually caused by a severe heart attack, in which the heart can't pump enough blood ...

Background Although the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with SLE is well-documented, effective tools for risk stratification remain elusive. This study sought to explore the ...

Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps that take over the function of the damaged ventricle in order to re-establish normal hemodynamics and end-organ blood flow. In addition, VADs unload the ...
