Background:
The investigator team had focused on heart failure (HF) treatment for many years and tried to develop non-invasive guide for HF treatment. Initially, the investigators had dedicated to use echocardiography to simulate Swan-Ganz and performed validation for non-invasive Swan-Ganz (echo
The evaluation of left ventricle filling pressures (LVFP) perioperatively in cardiac surgery could be challenging. This is particularly relevant after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass because the hemodynamic state is dynamic, with changes in heart rate, loading conditions, and deterioration in
In 1994, it was estimated that 12 million individuals had RF and RHD worldwide , and at least 3 million had congestive heart failure (CHF) that required repeated hospital admissions. A large section of the individuals with CHF required cardiac valve surgery within 5-10 years . The mortality rate for
Heart Failure (HF) As heart failure is defined as a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder and affects the ability of the ventricle to accept or eject blood. Its incidence is increasing in recent years in the Western world. It is estimated that
Heart failure (HF) accounts for over 1 million hospital admissions annually in the United States and is a leading cause of disability and healthcare costs. Cardiorenal syndrome and worsening renal function are independent risk factors for morbidity and mortality in HF. Effective fluid removal,
We will evaluate left ventricular diastolic function noninvasively by echocardiography before and after the intervention. Exclusion criteria include coronary artery disease, significant valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease and renal insufficiency. We would like to enroll 50
To be included in this study, the eligible patients must meet all criteria below:
IC signature; The research subject must agree about following all instructions and perform the procedures and study visits; Men and women over the age of 18 and below the age of 75; History of angina of rest with a
Step 1: Patient selection
The first step in the EGHEM/EGAM process is appropriate patient selection. Patients who have any of the following cardiovascular risk factors and/or comorbidities and are scheduled for a non-cardiac surgery are candidates for EGHEM/EGAM:

Subjects will be recruited via physicians and nurses providing their care in clinical sites who are members of PC-HEART. PC-HEART is a volunteer collaborative with clinician-investigators at 60 sites nationally that include hospice organizations and heart failure providers in academic, Health
