Is post-exercise diastolic stunning detected by velocity vector imaging a useful marker for induced ischemia in ischemic heart disease?
VVI detection of PES is a new clinical tool for induced ischemia. Regional diastolic wall motion abnormalities following induced ischemia can be noninvasively detected by VVI.
Our data show an age-dependent increase in the use of posthospitalization resources, the length of stay, and the total charges for elderly burn patients.
