  2. Cardiac imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_imaging

    Apical four chamber ultrasound view of heart. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) uses ultrasonic waves for continuous heart chamber and blood movement visualization. It is the most commonly used imaging tool for diagnosing heart problems, as it allows non-invasive visualization of the heart and the blood flow through the heart, using a technique known as Doppler.

  3. Echocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echocardiography

    It is a type of medical imaging, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. [1] The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or simply an echo. Echocardiography is routinely used in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the ...

  4. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

    Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

  5. European Society of Cardiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Society_of_Cardiology

    The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is an independent non-profit, non-governmental professional association that works to advance the prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, and improve scientific understanding of the heart and vascular system. [2]

  6. Logbook - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logbook

    A logbook (or log book) is a record used to record states, events, or conditions applicable to complex machines or the personnel who operate them. Logbooks are commonly associated with the operation of aircraft, nuclear plants, particle accelerators, and ships (among other applications).

  7. Intracardiac echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracardiac_echocardiogram

    The use of ICE is specialized and not intended for general echocardiography due to its cost and invasiveness. [1] [2] It is used as a part of a larger heart procedure.A typical use of ICE is for performing a transseptal puncture across the interatrial septum; in other words, pushing a catheter from the right atrium to the left atrium.

  8. Transesophageal echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesophageal_echocardiogram

    Transesophageal echocardiography diagram. TEE is a semi-invasive procedure in that the probe must enter the body but does not require surgical (i.e., invasive) cutting for this procedure. Before inserting the probe, mild to moderate sedation is induced in the patient to ease the discomfort and to decrease the gag reflex.

  9. Mitral valve prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_prolapse

    The diagnosis of MVP primarily relies on echocardiography, which uses ultrasound to visualize the mitral valve. MVP is the most common valvular abnormality, and is estimated to affect 2–3% of the population and 1 in 40 people might have it. [4] [5] [6] The condition was first described by John Brereton Barlow in 1966. [1]
