Echocardiographic Evaluation of Patients with Implanted Devices

Toader, Despina-Manuela

This book describes the always-challenging echocardiographic evaluation of patients with a pacemaker, defibrillator or resynchronization device. With no defined set of guidelines to orient clinicians about the appropriate evaluation of patients with implanted devices, this book describes the management and evaluation of patients with often highly complex clinical profiles.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Patients with Implanted Devices reviews chamber quantification, systolic and diastolic function evaluation, analysis of wall motion abnormalities, description and review of mitral apparatus and mitral regurgitation, tricuspid apparatus and tricuspid regurgitation, and the evaluation of echocardiographic parameters after cardiac resynchronization therapy. Also included are extensive sections on the complications of the process and how to identify these at the earliest stage. It is a critical resource for cardiologists, sonographers and interventional cardiologists, and all involved in the management of these patients.
