- Clinical value of myocardial performance index in patients with isolated diastolic dysfunctionPosted by José Maria Gonçalves Fernandes, Benício de Oliveira Romão, Ivan Romero Rivera, Maria Alayde Mendonça, Francisco de Assis Costa, Margareth de Souza Lira Handro, Orlando Campos, Ângelo Amato V. De Paola and Valdir Ambrósio Moisés on August 13, 2019 at 12:00 am
The Doppler-derived myocardial performance index (MPI) has been considered as a diagnostic and prognostic Doppler marker for many different clinical conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the d... […]
- General anesthesia and positive pressure ventilation suppress left and right ventricular myocardial shortening in patients without myocardial disease – a strain echocardiography studyPosted by Keti Dalla, Odd Bech-Hanssen and Sven-Erik Ricksten on August 10, 2019 at 12:00 am
Myocardial deformation imaging using speckle-tracking echocardiography to assess global longitudinal strain (GLS) is today considered a more sensitive measure of left ventricular (LV) systolic function than ej... […]
- Area of the pressure-strain loop during ejection as non-invasive index of left ventricular performance: a population studyPosted by Nicholas Cauwenberghs, Mahdi Tabassian, Lutgarde Thijs, Wen-Yi Yang, Fang-Fei Wei, Piet Claus, Jan D’hooge, Jan A. Staessen and Tatiana Kuznetsova on August 5, 2019 at 12:00 am
Previous studies highlighted the usefulness of integrating left ventricular (LV) deformation (strain) and hemodynamic parameters to quantify LV performance. In a population sample, we investigated the anthropo... […]
- Evaluation of right ventricular function in fetuses with isolated single umbilical artery using spatiotemporal image correlation M-modePosted by Tian-gang Li, Fang Nie, Zhen-dong Li, Yan-fang Wang and Qi Li on July 20, 2019 at 12:00 am
Postnatal outcome of fetuses with isolated single umbilical artery (SUA) is determined mainly by right ventricular function. Our study examined whether there are differences in right ventricular function durin... […]
- The effect of cardiac shock wave therapy on myocardial function and perfusion in the randomized, triple-blind, sham-procedure controlled studyPosted by Jelena Čelutkienė, Greta Burneikaitė, Evgeny Shkolnik, Gabrielius Jakutis, Donatas Vajauskas, Kamilė Čerlinskaitė, Gitana Zuozienė, Birutė Petrauskienė, Roma Puronaitė, Renata Komiagienė, Irena Butkuvienė, Rima Steponėnienė, Jonas Misiūra and Aleksandras Laucevičius on July 4, 2019 at 12:00 am
Recent triple-blind sham procedure-controlled study revealed neutral effects of the cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) on exercise tolerance and symptoms in patients with stable angina. Current data about the e... […]
