Recent advances in noninvasive cardiac output measurement techniques have greatly enhanced the ability to monitor haemodynamics in paediatric patients with minimal risk. These methodologies, which ...

Objective: To assess cardiac output in pediatric patients with the pressure recording analytical method (PRAM) and the Doppler echocardiography method. PRAM derives cardiac output from beat-by-beat ...

Cardiac tamponade occurs when a pericardial effusion exerts a significant amount of pressure externally on the heart, resulting in impaired right ventricular filling eventually causing decreased ...

Lean body mass (LBM) appeared to correlate with cardiorespiratory fitness among women, independent of body fat percentage, researchers reported. In a study that included 30 men and 30 women who were ...

The low cardiac output syndrome complicates 1 in 10 coronary bypass operations and is associated with a heightened risk of perioperative death. 1 The pathophysiology of this syndrome is complex, with ...

Cardiac cachexia is the weight loss and decrease in appetite that occurs during states of chronically low cardiac output and congestive heart failure. This gives a poor prognosis independent of other ...
