Bottom Line Up Top: A negative D-Dimer likely excludes significant pulmonary embolism (PE) in all patients but the low chance of getting a negative result makes a D-Dimer first approach of low clinical utility in the high pre-test probability ...
Background In 1979, Hiroshi Natori was the first to appreciate the sonographic changes that occur in the inferior vena cava (IVC)’s diameter with ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients, mechanically ventilated patients, and those with carcinogenic and tuberculoid cardiac tamponade.1 They ...
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical condition requiring rapid diagnosis and intervention. While ECGs play a central role in detecting STEMI, misinterpretations often occur, leading to unnecessary catheterization or missed diagnoses. With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), ...
\Background: The current standard care for evaluating pulmonary embolism (PE) advises against D-dimer testing in patients with a high clinical probability. European and American guidelines emphasize a sequential diagnostic approach based on pretest probability assessment using either a formal clinical ...
Background Information: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent complications of cardiac surgery and the cause is complex. Renal hypoperfusion from decreased glomerular filtration rate after cardiopulmonary bypass is a major contributor.1 This in combination with exogenous ...
