Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the application value of bedside echocardiography in acute and severe cardiovascular diseases.

Methods

2 532 cases with acute and severe cardiovascular disorders underwent beside echocardiography were retrospectively analyzed from January 2015 to December 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University.Philips CX-50 ultrasound equipment with 1.0~5.0 MHz probe frequency, was pushed to bed with the participation of clinician.

Results

The positive cases and positive rate of beside echocardiography were 2 447 and 96.6% respectively, including 1 115 cases with myocardial infarction (45.6%, 339 cases with complications), 356 cases after cardiac surgery (14.5%), 360 cases with pericardial effusion (14.7%), 322 cases with pulmonary hypertension (13.2%, 7 cases with direct signs of pulmonary embolism), 66 cases with cardiomyopathy (2.7%), 55 cases with aortic dissection or aneurysm (2.2%), 50 cases with valvular heart disease (2.0%), 49 cases with congenital heart disease (2.0%) and 8 cases with atrial myxoma (0.3%). In the positive findings, there were 736 cases (30.1%) with lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF<50%).

Conclusions

Bedside echocardiography, can provide convenient, prompt, safe, reliable information for diagnosis and treatment of critical cardiovascular diseases and is also an important tool for monitoring condition change and judging the curative effect and prognosis, has the important value of clinical application.
