Aim: Analysis of the data of patients investigated in the Tabor Hospital for suspected pulmonary embolism with CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) in one year from March 2019 until February 2020. Evaluation of the usefulness of the Revised Geneva Score (RGS) in this group. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the data of all patients who underwent CTPA for suspected pulmonary embolism in the Department of Radiology in Tábor Hospital from March 2019 until February 2020. RGS value was calculated and compared with known CTPA results. Other clinical and laboratory parameters and their usefulness in prediction of pulmonary embolism diagnosis on CTPA were evaluated....

Objective: Coronary artery disease changes over time. It is unknown how the peripheral artery disease of the legs has changed. Methods, the group: We used the medical records of our office to select patients with peripheral artery disease of the legs. The patients underwent clinical assessments including duplex sonography, and their blood pressure at the ankle was measured and expressed as ABI index. Further development of the clinical condition was then followed at subsequent visits. Worsening was defined as worsening of intermittent claudication and/or development of critical limb ischemia. We compared our findings to the results of previous as well...

Disturbances of autonomic function in the heart associated with premature ventricular complexes (PVC) are associated with a decrease in ejection fraction as well as increased cardiac morbidity and mortality. Standard imaging techniques such as cMRI and coronary angiography secure the exclusion of other causes of PVC as ischemia and progressive fibrosis. These methods are not suitable for cardiac autonomic nervous system imaging and can't describe the cause of related PVCs. This may be described by ¹²³I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. We examined a pilot group of 6 patients, in which 3 individuals presented a disorder in the...
