Incidence of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Presenting With Cerebrovascular Accident in a Tertiary Care Centre in Eastern India.

Acute myocardial infarction in individuals who have had a cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack (CVA-TIA) is a medical emergency, which must be examined and treated as soon as possible. Physicians face a significant problem in managing this scenario because early treatment of one ailment would surely postpone treatment of the other. Early detection and treatment will have an impact on the patient's morbidity and mortality in the future, as well as aid in the patient's rehabilitation.

The ability of live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to evaluate the attachment site of intracardiac tumors.

In this study, a case of a right ventricular myxoma and a case of a right ventricular hemangioma are used to demonstrate the ability of live three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) to assess the site of tumor attachment. Because 3DTEE has the ability to visualize desired structures in multiple planes, we defined the attached portion of the tumors and measured the en face view dimensions. In addition, the improved ability of 3DTEE to evaluate tissue characteristics allowed differentiation of the heterogeneous myxoma and highly vascular hemangioma.

Incremental value of live/real time three-dimensional over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the evaluation of right coronary artery fistula.

We report an adult with a right coronary artery to right atrial fistula in whom live/real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography with its ability to trace the entire course and obtain en face views of the fistula connections, was able to provide significant incremental information over two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
