1. Chest Pulmonary Thromboembolism

폐색전증은 한 개 이상의 혈전이 폐 혈관계에 들어가 폐동맥 순환장애를 일으키는 질환입니다. 혈전 생성의 3가지 요인은 정맥의 정체, 과응고력, 정맥벽의 손상입니다. 폐색전증의 증상으로는 호흡곤란, 빠른 호흡, 불안, 흉통, 기침, 혈담, 빠른 심박수, 청색증, 저산소혈증, 갑작스러운 사망 등이 있습니다. 진단을 위해 혈액검사, 심전도, 흉부 X선, CT, 도플러 초음파, 폐관류 스캔 등을 사용합니다.
2. Aorta Routine

대동맥은 상행대동맥, 대동맥궁, 하행대동맥, 복부대동맥, 총장골동맥으로 구성됩니다. 대동맥 질환으로는 대동맥류, 대동맥박리, 대동맥협착 등이 있습니다. 대동맥류는 동맥벽이 약해져 부분적으로 확장된 상태이며, 대동맥박리는 내막에 파열이 발생하여 혈관이 실질적 혈관과 찢어진 혈관으로 분리되는 현상입니다. 대동맥 질환의 위험 요인으로는 고혈압, 가족력, 동맥경화 등이 있습니다. 진단을 위해 심전도, 흉부 X선, 초음파, CT, MRI 등을 사용합니다.

1. Chest Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot, typically formed in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis, travels to the lungs and blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. This can lead to significant respiratory distress, organ damage, and even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Early recognition of the signs and symptoms, such as sudden onset of chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid heart rate, is crucial for timely intervention. Prompt anticoagulation therapy, often with heparin or other blood thinners, is the mainstay of treatment to dissolve the clot and prevent further complications. In severe cases, more aggressive interventions like thrombolytic therapy or surgical embolectomy may be necessary. Preventive measures, such as early mobilization after surgery, compression stockings, and prophylactic anticoagulation in high-risk patients, are also important to reduce the incidence of this potentially life-threatening condition.
2. Aorta Routine

The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body, responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Routine monitoring and assessment of the aorta is essential for the early detection and management of various aortic conditions, such as aortic aneurysms, dissections, and atherosclerotic disease. Imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, CT angiography, and MRI, play a crucial role in the evaluation of the aorta, allowing for the measurement of aortic diameter, detection of structural abnormalities, and assessment of blood flow. Regular screening, particularly in individuals with risk factors like hypertension, family history, or connective tissue disorders, can help identify aortic pathologies at an early stage when they are more amenable to treatment. Prompt intervention, either through medical management or surgical repair, can significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of life-threatening complications, such as aortic rupture or dissection. Incorporating routine aortic assessment into comprehensive cardiovascular care is essential for the early detection and effective management of aortic diseases, ultimately enhancing patient safety and quality of life.
