Cath Lab Basics - Cardiology

  Mainly the clinical part of the catalog basics I would be discussing today all of my presentation will be the what are the indications of pediatric target, cat procedures? We would broadly classified as a diagnostic or interventional procedure. The aims and limitations of the diagnostic cardiac catheterization, the complications associated with it, the case selection and planning the basic calculations of cardiac output. Ps, the pulmonary and systemic muscular resistance and These are the things I would be covering in today's topic. So, first jumping with the indications Basically, we classify any cardiac categorization as a diagnostic cardiac catheterization or an interventional procedure. So, in a diagnostic cardiac catheterization, we are primarily aiming at defining the physiology or the hem of the cardiac anomaly with addition, We even try to define the anatomy of the congenital heart defect if in case it di...

Case of a Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture - Occurred as a late complication of lateral ST-elevation myocardial infarction

We came across an interesting case of left ventricular free wall rupture at our institution. The occurrence of left ventricular free wall rupture in acute myocardial infarction decreased with the extent of interventional procedures of reperfusion, but it is still encountered in 1-2% of these patients. We are presenting the case of 55 years old male with left ventricular free wall rupture occurred as a late complication of lateral ST-elevated myocardial infarction. The aim of this case report is to highlight the main clinical features, the diagnostic value of the echocardiographic exam and the importance of early surgical intervention in a rare, but very dangerous condition, with persistent high mortality rates. In this context, we will review the current prevalence, clinical forms and prediction factors of left ventricular free wall rupture. Introduction: It has been reported that with the extension of interventional procedures of reperfusion the occurrence of left ventricular free w...
