3 lut 2023 · OBJECTIVES. The role of echocardiographic imaging among patients with AF can be divided into two main categories: Assessment of cardiac chamber sizes and function, the atrial contribution to left ventricular filling, the pericardium, and valvular function.
Echocardiography can play a key role in risk stratification and management of patients with AF. Transthoracic echocardiography allows rapid and comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomical structure and function.
1 paź 2011 · Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity due to stroke. Echocardiography plays a critical role in defining the clinical context of the arrhythmia and guiding management.
Because of its recognised value, echocardiography has become established in guidelines for management of AF 2 and utilisation of echocardiography has increased, particularly of transoesophageal echocardiography to guide direct current cardioversion or detect cardiac sources of embolism.
6 kwi 2017 · Echocardiography is vital in the routine assessment and management of atrial fibrillation (AF). We performed a systematic review of the validity and reproducibility of echocardiographic left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in AF, and optimal acquisition methods.
20 lis 2019 · Skaarup KG, Christensen H, Høst N, et al. Usefulness of left ventricular speckle tracking echocardiography and novel measures of left atrial structure and function in diagnosing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack patients.
4 sie 1998 · Abstract—Echocardiography has emerged as a fundamental tool in the evaluation of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Transthoracic echocardiography remains a primary tool for the evaluation and...
