Myocardial Ultrasound

Ultrasound Study of Right Ventricular Myocardial Perfusion and Functional Changes in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

This study aimed to develop a dynamic predictive model for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), using data from 910 cardiac surgery patients to combine preoperative risks and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) related factors into a multifactorial dynamic perfusion index (MDPI). The study found that the MDPI, which includes dynamic CPB quality indices, has better predictive ability for CSA-AKI than existing static models, suggesting its potential as a more effective tool for integrating various risk factors in patient care.

The Multifactorial Dynamic Perfusion Index: A Predictive Tool of Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury

This study aimed to develop a dynamic predictive model for cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) by combining preoperative and intraoperative risk factors, including cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) related data. The resulting Multifactorial Dynamic Perfusion Index (MDPI) demonstrated better predictive ability than static risk models, showing that inclusion of dynamic CPB quality indices significantly improves risk assessment for CSA-AKI.
