The phrase "cardiac probe" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in medical or scientific contexts to refer to a device or instrument used to examine the heart or its function. Example: The doctor used a cardiac probe to check for any abnormalities in the patient's heart rhythm.
A cardiac probe (curvilinear 5 MHz) can be used, although of resolution inferior to some micro convex probes.
If the user wishes to follow the SESAME-protocol, i.e., assessing here the veins (especially calf areas), the cardiac probe should be urgently replaced by a vascular probe.
Examination of the heart with a low-frequency array cardiac probe in the para-sternal long-axis view revealed aortic stenosis, and the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter was measured at 1.43 cm (Figs. 1, 2).
Gargani L et al. used a cardiac probe and determined that B-lines are reliable in predicting the cardiogenic origin of dyspnea, with an accuracy comparable to natriuretic peptides [13].
Examination of the heart with a low-frequency array cardiac probe in the parasternal long-axis view revealed no pericardial effusion and an enlarged right ventricular outflow tract (Video Clip S1).
Examination of the heart with a low frequency array cardiac probe in the apical four-chamber view revealed right ventricular hypertrophy and a combined atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) with no pericardial effusion (Fig. 1; Video Clip S1).
Cardiac probes can show lung artifacts, may be with a quality inferior to some other equipment.
Physicians also should check that their cardiac probes are able to document lung sliding in all conditions (skinny patients, dyspnea, etc).
At each hospital the machine had an endocavitary probe, a curved array abdominal probe, and cardiac probes for adult and pediatric patients.
Physicians also should check that their cardiac probes are able to document lung sliding in all conditions (skinny patients, dyspnea, etc).
The equipment used was: Siemens Acuson Cypress (5 MHz Cardiac-probe) and CAPASEE II Toshiba (abdominal-Convex-probe 3.75 MHz), the choice of each device depended on the physician and whether the study was completed with echocardiography and/or abdominal ultrasound.
