- The role of left atrio-ventricular coupling index and left atrial ejection fraction in predicting onset of atrial fibrillation and adverse cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathyby Parisi Francesca, La Franca Eluisa, Pistelli Lorenzo, Gentile Giovanni, Bellavia Diego, Nuzzi Vincenzo, Manca Paolo, Massimiliano Mulè, Zito Concetta, Di Bella Gianluca, Scipione Carerj, Cipriani Manlio and Francesco F. Faletra on March 28, 2025 at 12:00 am
Several predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) onset in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have been proposed, however, all of them showed limited accuracy. This study aims to assess the role of n...
- Diagnostic characteristics of multimodality imaging for left ventricular lipoma: new insights on surgical interventionby Tianshu Liu, Lingyun Fang, Jiawei Shi, Lin He, Jing Zhang, Yuman Li, Mingxing Xie and Jing Wang on March 28, 2025 at 12:00 am
The echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality in detecting the cardiac lipoma. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography improves its structural definition and characteristics of blood supply to exclude thr...
- Determinants of left atrial reservoir strain and diagnostic potential for cardiac amyloidosis in pathological left ventricular hypertrophyby Katsuji Inoue, Yasuhisa Nakao, Makoto Saito, Masaki Kinoshita, Haruhiko Higashi and Osamu Yamaguchi on March 17, 2025 at 12:00 am
Left ventricular (LV) long-axis shortening at the cardiac base is a determinant of left atrial (LA) reservoir function. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characteristic of amyloid deposition predominantly in the LV ...
- Transthoracic echocardiographic assessment of ventricular function in functional single ventricle: a comprehensive reviewby Mengqian Liao, Junxiang Pan, Tianhao Liao, Xuechen Liu and Lianyi Wang on March 14, 2025 at 12:00 am
Functional single ventricle represents a complex congenital cardiac malformation where ventricular function directly impacts patients’ quality of life and prognosis. Accurate assessment of ventricular function...
- A new noninvasive evaluation method of pulmonary thromboembolism in rabbits—pulmonary transit timeby He Zhang, Jianfeng Chen, Jiayu Wang, Song Kang, Yingying Liu, Binyang Zhu, Xue Mei, Xin AI, Guangyin Li and Shuangquan Jiang on March 12, 2025 at 12:00 am
Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common cause of cardiovascular death worldwide. Due to its nonspecific clinical symptoms, PTE is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed. Pulmonary transit time (PTT) is a noninv...
