  2. 21. Ultrasound evaluation of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular sources of cerebral embolism

    Author : Robert Wetterholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stroke; atherosclerosis; aorta; echocardiography; ultrasound; IMT; MES; WHHL;

    Abstract : The search for embolic sources has high priority in patients presenting with suspected cerebral embolism. Non-invasive cardiovascular ultrasound is frequently used to reveal the presence of carotid stenosis and cardiac disorders with embolic potential. READ MORE

  4. 22. Acute and long-term effects of pulmonary embolism on heart function and lung circulation

    Author : Ary Ribeiro; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Pulmonary embolism; pulmonary heart disease; follow-up studies; nuclear medicine; perfusion; echocardiography; ventricular function; statistics; time-course;

    Abstract : Objectives: To describe the course over time of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAsP) and right ventricle (RV) function assessed with echocardiography-Doppler (E-D) and extent of perfusion defects (PDf) on lung scintigraphy (LS) and to identify patients at increased risk for death or for chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH), after pulmonary embolism (PE). Design: Prospective follow-up studies with cross-sectional analyses. READ MORE

  5. 23. Current diagnostic aspects on acute and chronic pulmonary embolism : MRI in acute pulmonary embolism, CT in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and what the radiologists actually know

    Author : Anna Nordgren Rogberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a potentially severe medical condition with blood clots obstructing the pulmonary arterial vasculature. In most cases the APE resolves without any sequelae after anticoagulation therapy. READ MORE

  6. 24. Pre-Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Radiotracer for the Diagnosis of DVT and Pulmonary Embolism

    Author : David Edwards; Håkan Ahlström; Stuart McCully; Hans Johnsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Radiology; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are different aspects of a single condition, venous thrombo-embolic disease (VTE), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Rapid diagnosis is critical, as timely medical intervention can have a substantial beneficial effect on the mortality rate. READ MORE
