Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography & Transesophageal Echocardiography ( PART -1)

-

 Transesophageal dobutamine stress echocardiography is a protected, plausible and precise strategy for evaluating coronary vein illness. Its utilization ought to be considered in patients who have a sub-par ultrasound window, and it gives a brilliant instrument to clinical examinations in light of ultrasound imaging of the myocardium.



A dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) might be utilized assuming you can't work out. Dobutamine is placed in a vein and makes the heart beat more quicker. It emulates the impacts of an an activity on the heart. During a reverberation, a transducer (like a mouthpiece) conveys ultrasonic sound waves at a recurrence too high to be in any way heard.

Arrhythmia surgery

  Arrhythmia surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmias. These abnormal heart rhythms can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and even chest pain. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications, such as stroke or heart failure. Arrhythmia surgery is usually recommended when medication and other non-invasive treatments fail to control the irregular heartbeats. The procedure involves the use of various techniques to destroy or modify the abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. Some of the techniques used in arrhythmia surgery include catheter ablation, maze procedure, and implantable devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a vein in the groin and threaded up to the heart. Once in the heart, the catheter is used to deliver energy (such as radiofrequency or cryotherapy)...

Bone-modifying drugs

Prostate cancer patients face a significant problem with their bone health. Hormonal therapy can either cause or exacerbate bone conditions like osteoporosis and osteoopenia. The risk of fractures should be assessed for prostate cancer patients receiving ADT for non-metastatic disease. The most widely recognized method for finding an individual's gamble is with a double energy X-beam absorptiometry (DEXA) sweep to quantify the strength of the bones. Treatment should be given to those who are found to be at a high risk for a fracture. Bone-changing medications that can be utilized in this present circumstance incorporate denosumab (Prolia, Xgeva), zoledronic corrosive (Reclast, Zometa), alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), ibandronate (Boniva), and pamidronate (Aredia). Talk to your doctor about when to take these medications and which is best for you based on your situation because they can have side effects. In patients who do not currently have evidence of bone metastase...

Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV)

Image
Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral stenosis, which is a condition in which the mitral valve in the heart becomes narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. During a BMV procedure, a small incision is made in the groin, and a catheter is threaded through a blood vessel and into the heart. A deflated balloon is then positioned across the narrowed mitral valve and inflated, which widens the opening of the valve, allowing blood to flow more freely. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Most patients are able to go home the following day, and recovery time is generally quick, with patients able to return to normal activities within a few days. BMV is considered a safe and effective treatment for mitral stenosis, with high success rates and low complicat...
