Petite Pistache est allée ce matin dans son pays d'origine (la France) pour passer une échocardiographie, en raison d'un souffle au coeur. Elle a bien une petite malformation cardiaque mais qui ne prête pas à conséquence, d'ailleurs son souffle au coeur provient plutôt d'une tension artérielle excessive. Bref, il n'y a pas de raison de paniquer même s'il faut chercher pourquoi elle a trop de tension (et pourquoi elle perd du poids). Pistache a été parfaite, pas le moindre miaulement dans la voiture (1h30 aller-retour) et pendant tout l'examen, elle aurait pu être en peluche que ça n'aurait pas fait de différence ! Si Lewis pouvait prendre exemple sur elle !
Little Pistache went this morning to her country of origin (France) to have an echocardiography, because of a heart murmur. She has a small heart malformation but that does not have consequences, even her heart murmur is due to an excessive blood pressure and not to the malformation. In short, there is no reason to panic even if the reason of her high blood pressure has to be investigated (and also why she loses weight). Pistache behaved perfectly, zero meowing in the car (1:30 trip) and during the exam a stuffed cat would not have made a difference! If Lewis could take an example on her!

Nondestructive testing
Nondestructive testing or Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.[1] The terms Nondestructive examination (NDE), Nondestructive inspection (NDI), and Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) are also commonly used to describe this technology.[2] Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), eddy-current testing,[1] and low coherence interferometry.[3][4] NDT is commonly used in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, medicine, and art.[1] Innovations in the field of nondestructive testing have had a profound impact on medical imaging, including on echocardiography, medical ultrasonography, and digital radiography.
Methods[edit]
NDT methods may rely upon use of electromagnetic radiation, sound, and inherent properties of materials to examine samples. This includes some kinds of microscopy to examine external surfaces in detail, although sample preparation techniques for metallography, optical microscopy and electron microscopy are generally destructive as the surfaces must be made smooth through polishing or the sample must be electron transparent in thickness. The inside of a sample can be examined with penetrating radiation, such as X-rays, neutrons or terahertz radiation. Sound waves are utilized in the case of ultrasonic testing. Contrast between a defect and the bulk of the sample may be enhanced for visual examination by the unaided eye by using liquids to penetrate fatigue cracks. One method (liquid penetrant testing) involves using dyes, fluorescent or non-fluorescent, in fluids for non-magnetic materials, usually metals. Another commonly used NDT method used on ferrous materials involves the application of fine iron particles (either liquid or dry dust) that are applied to a part while it is in an externally magnetized state (magnetic-particle testing). The particles will be attracted to leakage fields within the test object, and form on the objects surface. Magnetic particle testing can reveal surface & some sub-surface defects within the part. Thermoelectric effect (or use of the Seebeck effect) uses thermal properties of an alloy to quickly and easily characterize many alloys. The chemical test, or chemical spot test method, utilizes application of sensitive chemicals that can indicate the presence of individual alloying elements. Electrochemical methods, such as electrochemical fatigue crack sensors, utilize the tendency of metal structural material to oxidize readily in order to detect progressive damage.
Analyzing and documenting a non-destructive failure mode can also be accomplished using a high-speed camera recording continuously (movie-loop) until the failure is detected. Detecting the failure can be accomplished using a sound detector or stress gauge which produces a signal to trigger the high-speed camera. These high-speed cameras have advanced recording modes to capture some non-destructive failures.[5] After the failure the high-speed camera will stop recording. The capture images can be played back in slow motion showing precisely what happen before, during and after the non-destructive event, image by image.
Le temps est très lourd aujourd'hui et on est tous un peu raplapla y compris Pistache.
Je dois parler à ma vétérinaire, mais hier j'ai eu le résultat de son analyse de sang pour hyperthyroïdie et elle a effectivement des valeurs trop élevées (même si pas énormément), ce qui explique aussi sa (légère) perte de poids et sa tension trop élevée. Je suppose donc qu'elle devra avoir un traitement. Je me demande vraiment ce que j'ai fait au ciel pour n'avoir jamais eu de chat sans problème de santé. Heureusement toutes ses autres valeurs, dont celles des reins, sont parfaites.
L'endroit nu dans son pelage est l'endroit où elle a été tondue pour son échocardiographie
The weather is very sultry today and we are all a little tired including Pistache
I have to talk to my vet, but yesterday I got the result of her blood test for hyperthyroidism and she actually has too high values (although not so much), which explains her (slight) weight loss and her too high blood pressure. I guess she will need a treatment. I really wonder what I did to deserve this, I never had a cat without a health problem. Fortunately all her other values, including those of the kidneys, are perfect.
The naked spot in her coat is where she was shorn for her echocardiography.

Yesterday Rusty went to the vet because he seemed unusually vocal from 3-6am which concerned us. We had a complete senior workup done on him and it was discovered that he has either an enlarged heart or a condition called: "Peritoneoperica diaphragmatic hernia". At any rate, he is scheduled to see a cardiologist next Tuesday for an echocardiography.
Either way, this news is not good. An enlarged heart cannot be cured. It can be treated with oral meds but life expectancy is greatly reduced and they can die suddenly from cardiomyopathy....[ sudden / unexpected heart attack]. We had a stray die in our arms from cardiomyopathy a few years ago. We didn't know that cat had a heart condition as sometimes it is undetected. And if it's a hernia, it will probably mean surgery.
Keep Rusty in your prayers. He's doing just fine. He's not aware of the abnormalities in his chest. Everything will hinge on what the cardiologist discovers next week and if treatable.
Update: Rusty saw the cardiologist. His condition is not advanced. No treatment needed. But he'll need to be monitored [ultra sound] every few years. Whew!!!!
It rained the whole time while in Montreal. I was already soaked while I took this shot. We were hungry and were looking for a place to eat. And we finally ended up at this nice little restaurant called Papillon. Food was great! We stayed there for awhile because it rained really hard and we didn't want to go out there. Their dessert was delicious too!
I didn't really recognized this but this lady with her backpack had the same idea as us - skipping the afternoon sessions and checking out Old Montreal. Lol! You can see her backpack labeled "ASE" (American Society of Echocardiography). That's funny! I didn't even see til after I downloaded this image.
Shandler’s Story – Written by his mom, Tricia
Our twins, a boy and girl, were born 6 weeks premature in 2002. Our son, Shandler, was born with two congenital heart defects: coarctation of the aorta and bicuspid aortic valve. Coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of part of the aorta (the major artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the entire body). Bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that has two leaflets, instead of three. Shandler was fairly small, weighing only 4 pounds. At four days old, he began to have difficulty breathing. The doctors detected a heart murmur, and diminished pulses in his legs and feet. Through echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), the congenital heart defects were found. Three days later, the heart surgeon repaired the coarctation. There is no intervention for his bicuspid aortic valve.
Our family was absolutely terrified that he wouldn’t survive major heart surgery because of how tiny he was. He did well for about two weeks after surgery, and then he developed complications (a risk with any surgical procedure). Fluid collected around his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe. He required a ventilator to assist with breathing and chest tubes placed to drain the fluid. After six weeks of no improvement in his condition, as well as developing bacterial meningitis (which almost took his life), he was taken back into surgery. Within 24 hours, he was able to breathe on his own again. After 11 weeks in the newborn intensive care unit, Shandler was finally able to come home, to be reunited with his twin sister and live with our family. However, he was discharged with a feeding tube. This was necessary because his heart condition caused fatigue during feedings, and he was not able to take the full amount necessary by mouth.
The past 10 years have had their ups and downs for our family. Shortly after coming home, Shandler developed a condition called dysphagia, due to severe acid reflux. Dysphagia is a problem with swallowing. Shandler started refusing to eat. He later had a feeding tube surgically placed, which was how he received his nutrition for several years. Just before turning 4, he was finally eating and drinking enough to have the tube removed.
His heart condition made him extremely fragile the first few years of life. As an infant, he was hospitalized for several weeks (in critical condition) in the pediatric intensive care unit, with complications from flu. At age 2, he contracted respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and was hospitalized for 1 week due to breathing difficulty.
Seeing Shandler today, you wouldn’t know he had such a rough start in life. Although he is small for his age, he is able to run and play with his peers, and eats everything in sight!! However, he does require yearly follow-up by a cardiologist. Through echocardiography, they look for any signs of aortic narrowing again, as well as checking the function of his bicuspid aortic valve. Complications of bicuspid aortic valve include: congestive heart failure, leakage of blood through the valve back into the heart, and narrowing of the valve’s opening. The valve will require repair or replacement if this occurs. Shandler is never allowed to participate in contact sports (football, hockey and wrestling). Despite this restriction, he is a bright, happy 5th grader, who loves to play jokes on others (especially his sisters). He enjoys building things, reading Harry Potter books, and is a whiz in math and other school subjects. He will always have his “battle scar”, although he jokes that it “makes him look tough”!! We have been truly blessed to have Shandler in our family.

the doctor didnt let me record the whole thing (e.g. color coded doppler) because it is not intended as a diagnostic tool if you do it quick and at random on an open house day, but he did let me record one sequence eventually. hooray! he put it into loop mode and left, so i could record it properly. thanks, doc! =)
ps: you can see my atrial septum "disappear" a few times. this may indicate a hole (atrial septum defect) in theory... but i guess they would've seen that when they did a "real" (diagnostic) echo on me, so the most plausible reason is that my septum wall is just very thin.
this is an echocardiography of my heart.
i edited the single videos with fitting auscultation sounds from my own heart (recorded with a PC microphone; sorry for the poor quality) and added some descriptions.
the HIGH QUALITY version of this video can be found on my youtube channel!

15 month old Wilson Irael Mendez has stayed at the free hospital Dr. Aldo Castañeda runs in Guatemala City for a month. Wilson needs to get stronger before the surgery. WIlson's sister is keeping an eye out on him on Sunday, Feb 28, 2011.
According to the Aldo Castañeda Foundation's website, at the start of the program in 1997, Aldo was able to bring together the only 3 pediatric cardiologists practicing in Guatemala. This group has now grown to 8 cardiologists, with expertise in fetal echocardiography, interventional catheterization, and diagnostic and interventional electrophysiology. Castañeda has also promoted the professional training of anesthesiologists, nurses, and other technical staff.
With the help of the Aldo Castañeda Foundation, the Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Unit of Guatemala has expanded to 2 exclusive operating rooms, an intensive care unit with 6 beds, a 4-bed step-down unit, and an 18-bed general ward. In addition, he has provided the infrastructure for a new laboratory for cardiac catheterization, and 2 laboratories for echocardiography.
Since 1997, the staff working in the outpatient clinic has seen more than 20,000 patients, and the surgeons have performed operations on about 2000 children with congenital cardiac disease.
Members of the University of Michigan M-HEAL student group arrived to Antigua where they spend their first full day in the Guatemala. The students have been working on developing a new stethoscope that would electronically record heart-sounds of patients in rural part of Guatemala and send them to a Guatemala City hospital. The stethoscope could eventually save lives or prevent major complications for infants born with congenital heart defects. During the trip students will visit a Guatemala City hospital as well as multiple rural clinics where they will gain first-hand experience of their conditions and working habits related to the stethoscope they are developing.

A 64 year old man presented with a past medical history of hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation and NSTEMI. He was admitted for CHF exacerbation and acute kidney failure. He continued to have worsening cardiac status and experienced sudden cardiac arrest. Findings at autopsy revealed evidence of myocardial ischemic damage and bulky rubbery lesion on the aortic valve, completely occluding right coronary ostium.
Discussion:
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFEs) are rare benign tumors of the endocardium and represent the most common primary valvular tumors of the heart (Am Heart J 2003;146:404). These tumors are also referred to as giant Lambl’s excrescences, fibroelastic hamartomas or papilliferous tumors.
CPFE is sporadically reported with an incidence between 0.002% and 0.33% at autopsy. CPFE can occur in any age group, with the majority occurring in adults, and the highest prevalence in the eighth decade. They occur most frequently on the valvular surfaces (73%), particularly on the aortic (44%) and mitral (35%) valves (Can J Cardiol 2007;23:301).
Grossly, the tumor is characterized by broad-based filiform processes, with or without a central stalk. These lesions are more common near the lines of valvular closure.
Microscopically, CPFEs consists of papillary, pedunculated and avascular tumors, covered by a single layer of endothelium, containing variable amounts of elastic fibrils arranged in whorls in a hyaline stroma. The connective tissue contains a mucopolysaccharide acid matrix, smooth muscle cells, collagen and elastin fibers.
Differential diagnoses to be considered are other cardiac tumors (e.g. myxomas, thrombi and bacterial vegetation’s).
Although many papillary fibroelastomas do not cause symptoms, early diagnosis of CPFE is of prior importance to prevent patients from fatal complications. Nevertheless, this tumor can present with a variety of clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging. Transesophageal echocardiography is known to have high sensitivity to detect excrescences and should always be included in the diagnostic assessment. Asymptomatic patients who are found to have evidence of CPFE should be monitored closely (Circulation 1999;99:1919).
CPFEs are benign and can be removed by surgical resection.

Ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a medical procedure that uses high frequency sound waves and their echoes to examine and treat hard to reach body areas.
In Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the ultrasound it is used to measure the size of the fetus, to determine the position and number of the fetus, to check the sex and establish the due date of the baby, to determine the presence of birth defects or any other potential problems. And also, can detect ovary and breast tumours.
In Cardiology, named echocardiography, is used to see the heart beating and the structures of the heart. Will detect abnormal functions or structures and also will measure the blood flow through the heart and major blood vessels.
In Urology, is used to discover a range of affections related to the urinary tract, prostate and kidneys.

Over the course of history, scientists have made amazing medical discoveries. These discoveries have increased the quality of life for countless Americans. This fact is demonstrated by the evolution of cardiovascular technology throughout the years.
Decades ago, cardiovascular technology was very limited, which led to many deaths. Thankfully, medical experts saw a need for technology that would assist doctors in identifying and treating different cardiovascular diseases. This led to discoveries that brought about the innovative echocardiography, a device that allowed experts to take a look into the movements of the heart. Scientists continued to make groundbreaking discoveries, all of which allow medical experts to save lives. Due to these new discoveries in cardiovascular technology, the U.S. heart disease death rate has declined
The MD250 Exam Table is a multipurpose table designed for Echocardiography procedures. The MD2502 is the same as the MD250 Power Exam Table. The difference lies in the 7 x 10 1/2 inch cut out of the back, making the MD250 more ergonomically designed for Echocardiography procedures. The MD250 accommodates wheelchair transfers and patients with ambulatory difficulties and meets all scanning height requirements.

Since 1997, the staff working in the outpatient clinic has seen more than 20,000 patients, and the surgeons have performed operations on about 2000 children with congenital cardiac disease.
Members of the University of Michigan M-HEAL student group arrived to Antigua where they spend their first full day in the Guatemala. The students have been working on developing a new stethoscope that would electronically record heart-sounds of patients in rural part of Guatemala and send them to a Guatemala City hospital. The stethoscope could eventually save lives or prevent major complications for infants born with congenital heart defects. During the trip students will visit a Guatemala City hospital as well as multiple rural clinics where they will gain first-hand experience of their conditions and working habits related to the stethoscope they are developing.

A 64 year old man presented with a past medical history of hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation and NSTEMI. He was admitted for CHF exacerbation and acute kidney failure. He continued to have worsening cardiac status and experienced sudden cardiac arrest. Findings at autopsy revealed evidence of myocardial ischemic damage and bulky rubbery lesion on the aortic valve, completely occluding right coronary ostium.
Discussion:
Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFEs) are rare benign tumors of the endocardium and represent the most common primary valvular tumors of the heart (Am Heart J 2003;146:404). These tumors are also referred to as giant Lambl’s excrescences, fibroelastic hamartomas or papilliferous tumors.
CPFE is sporadically reported with an incidence between 0.002% and 0.33% at autopsy. CPFE can occur in any age group, with the majority occurring in adults, and the highest prevalence in the eighth decade. They occur most frequently on the valvular surfaces (73%), particularly on the aortic (44%) and mitral (35%) valves (Can J Cardiol 2007;23:301).
Grossly, the tumor is characterized by broad-based filiform processes, with or without a central stalk. These lesions are more common near the lines of valvular closure.
Microscopically, CPFEs consists of papillary, pedunculated and avascular tumors, covered by a single layer of endothelium, containing variable amounts of elastic fibrils arranged in whorls in a hyaline stroma. The connective tissue contains a mucopolysaccharide acid matrix, smooth muscle cells, collagen and elastin fibers.
Differential diagnoses to be considered are other cardiac tumors (e.g. myxomas, thrombi and bacterial vegetation’s).
Although many papillary fibroelastomas do not cause symptoms, early diagnosis of CPFE is of prior importance to prevent patients from fatal complications. Nevertheless, this tumor can present with a variety of clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging. Transesophageal echocardiography is known to have high sensitivity to detect excrescences and should always be included in the diagnostic assessment. Asymptomatic patients who are found to have evidence of CPFE should be monitored closely (Circulation 1999;99:1919).
CPFEs are benign and can be removed by surgical resection.
