- 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... […]
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and echocardiographic exam: an useful interactionPosted by Ciro Santoro, Regina Sorrentino, Roberta Esposito, Maria Lembo, Valentina Capone, Francesco Rozza, Massimo Romano, Bruno Trimarco and Maurizio Galderisi on December 3, 2019 at 12:00 am
Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a functional assessment that helps to detect disorders affecting the system involved in oxygen transport and utilization through the analysis of the gas exchange during ... […]
- Global longitudinal strain is a hallmark of cardiac damage in mitral regurgitation: the Italian arm of the European Registry of mitral regurgitation (EuMiClip)Posted by Ciro Santoro, Maurizio Galderisi, Roberta Esposito, Agostino Buonauro, Juan Manuel Monteagudo, Regina Sorrentino, Maria Lembo, Covadonga Fernandez-Golfin, Bruno Trimarco and Josè Luis Zamorano on November 21, 2019 at 12:00 am
The search for reliable cardiac functional parameters is crucial in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). In the Italian arm of the European Registry of MR, we compared the ability of global longitudinal st... […]
- Myocardial tissue characterisation using echocardiographic deformation imagingPosted by Mohammed A. Moharram, Regis R. Lamberts, Gillian Whalley, Michael J. A. Williams and Sean Coffey on November 15, 2019 at 12:00 am
Myocardial pathology results in significant morbidity and mortality, whether due to primary cardiomyopathic processes or secondary to other conditions such as ischemic heart disease. Cardiac imaging techniques... […]
- Effect of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on cardiac function and cardiovascular outcome: a systematic reviewPosted by Koichiro Matsumura and Tetsuro Sugiura on November 13, 2019 at 12:00 am
A high incidence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and increased risk of cardiovascular events have been reported in patients with diabetes mellitus. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors s... […]
