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. Hemothorax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemothorax

   A hemothorax (derived from hemo-[blood] + thorax [chest], plural hemothoraces) is an accumulation of blood within the pleural cavity.The symptoms of a hemothorax may include chest pain and difficulty breathing, while the clinical signs may include reduced breath sounds on the affected side and a rapid heart rate.

4. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

   It is one of the two most common valvular heart diseases in the elderly, [27] and the commonest type of valvular heart disease in low and middle income countries. [ 3 ] In a study of 595 male elite football players aged 18–38 and 47 sedentary non-athletes, mitral regurgitation was found in 20% football players and 15% in control group.

6. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

   Pulmonary heart disease, also known as cor pulmonale, is the enlargement and failure of the right ventricle of the heart as a response to increased vascular resistance (such as from pulmonic stenosis) or high blood pressure in the lungs. [2] Chronic pulmonary heart disease usually results in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), [4] whereas ...

7. Pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_edema

   Chest X-ray has been used for many years to diagnose pulmonary edema due to its wide availability and relatively cheap cost. [4] A chest X-ray will show fluid in the alveolar walls, Kerley B lines , increased vascular shadowing in a classical batwing peri- hilum pattern, upper lobe diversion (biased blood flow to the superior parts instead of ...

8. Cardiomegaly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomegaly

   Chest X-ray: X-ray images help to visualize the condition of the lungs and heart. If the heart is enlarged on an X-ray, other tests will usually be needed to find the cause. A useful measurement on X-ray is the cardio-thoracic ratio, which is the transverse diameter of the heart, compared with that of the thoracic cage. [30]

9. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_thromboembolic...

   Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a long-term disease caused by a blockage in the blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arterial tree). These blockages cause increased resistance to flow in the pulmonary arterial tree which in turn leads to rise in pressure in these arteries ...
