題名:Heart Sounds Made Easy. 輕鬆掌握心音聽診(中文版) 作者:黃群耀 Huang CY 貢獻者:醫學系內科學科 上傳時間:2009-08-13T03:33:05Z
摘要:Acoustic cardiography is an exciting, new, easy-to-use, modernized technology that incorporates already proven techniques of phonocardiography. Application of acoustic cardiography to clinical practice can improve diagnosis and management of heart failure patients. Its clinical use should help address some of the need for robust, inexpensive, and widely accessible technology for proactive heart failure diagnosis and management. Acoustic cardiographically recorded measurements have been correlated with both cardiac catheterization and echocardiographically determined hemodynamic parameters. Heart sounds captured by acoustic cardiograms have
proven to assist clinicians in assessing dyspneic patients in the emergency department by utilizing the strong specificity of an S3 for detecting acute
decompensated heart failure. Acoustic cardiography
offers a cost-efficient, easy-to-use method to optimize the devices used in cardiac resyncronization therapy. The rapidly and easily obtainable information gathered by acoustic cardiography should foster its more
widespread use in diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, including cardiac resyncronization therapy device optimization.
