Why the study?
Does transoesophageal echocardiography improve detection of perioperative myocardial ischaemia compared to a single electrocardiographic surface lead in patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery?
Does transoesophageal echocardiography improve detection of perioperative myocardial ischaemia compared to a single electrocardiographic surface lead in patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery?
Transoesophageal echocardiography is more sensitive than a single-lead ECG for detecting perioperative myocardial ischemia and infarction during major vascular surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May improve perioperative MI detection with TEE over single-lead ECG in aortic surgery; leaves open impact on outcomes.
Koolen et al. (1992) studied this question.
