- Regional myocardial strain analysis via 2D speckle tracking echocardiography: validation with sonomicrometry and correlation with regional blood flow in the presence of graded coronary stenoses and dobutamine stressPosted by John C. Stendahl, Nripesh Parajuli, Allen Lu, Nabil E. Boutagy, Nicole Guerrera, Imran Alkhalil, Ben A. Lin, Lawrence H. Staib, Matthew O’Donnell, James S. Duncan and Albert J.

Quantitative regional strain analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) may be particularly useful in the assessment of myocardial ischemia and viability, although reliable measurement of regional str... […]
- Prognostic value of point-of-care ultrasound during cardiac arrest: a systematic reviewPosted by Ilan Kedan, William Ciozda, Joseph A. Palatinus, Helen N. Palatinus and Asher Kimchi on January 13, 2020 at 12:00 am
Despite significant improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States. Ultrasound is a widely available tool that can be used t... […]
- Transcatheter MitraClip repair alters mitral annular geometry – device induced annular remodeling on three-dimensional echocardiography predicts therapeutic responsePosted by Jiwon Kim, Maria Chiara Palumbo, Omar K. Khalique, Lisa Q. Rong, Razia Sultana, Mukund Das, Jennifer Jantz, Yasfumi Nagata, Richard B. Devereux, Shing Chiu Wong, Geoffrey W. Bergman, Robert A. Levine, Mark B. Ratcliffe and Jonathan W. Weinsaft on December 26, 2019 at 12:00 am
Echocardiography (echo) is widely used to guide therapeutic decision-making for patients being considered for MitraClip. Relative utility of two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echo predictors of MitraClip re... […]
- Coexistence of aortic valve stenosis and cardiac amyloidosis: echocardiographic and clinical significancePosted by Gergely Peskó, Zsigmond Jenei, Gergely Varga, Astrid Apor, Hajnalka Vágó, Sándor Czibor, Zoltán Prohászka, Tamás Masszi and Zoltán Pozsonyi on December 26, 2019 at 12:00 am
Left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction are common echocardiographic features of both aortic valve stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA). These two different entities therefore may mask eac... […]
- Comparison of the prognostic values of three calculation methods for echocardiographic relative wall thickness in acute decompensated heart failurePosted by Satoshi Yamaguchi, Michio Shimabukuro, Masami Abe, Tomohiro Arakaki, Osamu Arasaki and Shinichiro Ueda on December 3, 2019 at 12:00 am
Left ventricular (LV) wall thickness can be measured at the posterior wall (PW) and the intraventricular septum (IVS) in a parasternal long axis view by transthoracic echocardiography. Thus, there are three me... […]
