[Ventricular free XXXX following acute @entity583 : a two-dimensional echocardiographic assessment].

@entity1 @entity7086 @entity2294 @entity397 @entity583 @entity1455
To assess the usefulness of two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in diagnosing @entity7086 following acute @entity583 , we studied the 2DE findings and the clinical pictures of seven consecutive @entity1 with @entity7086 confirmed at the time of surgery or autopsy. Three @entity1 had acute @entity397 ; four, subacute @entity397 . All @entity1 apparently had circulatory collapse despite continuing electrical activity at the onset of @entity7086 . Four @entity1 with subacute @entity397 recovered. In all @entity1 , mild @entity2294 was imaged by 2DE; however, this was not characteristic for @entity7086 . In the @entity1 with acute @entity397 , active left ventricular contractions were not observed after each QRS complex of the electrocardiogram. However, weak mitral valve motion was recorded at the time of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The interesting and constant finding in acute @entity397 was the right ventricular collapse observed throughout the cardiac cycle. Diastolic right ventricular collapse was consistently observed in @entity1 with subacute @entity397 , immediately after recovery from @entity1455 . Subacute @entity7086 is a potentially curable lesion, and the clinical features and quick 2DE confirmation of cardiac tamponade allowed immediate surgery which saved two of the four @entity1 .
