- The velocity ratio as a predictor of valve calcium degeneration in aortic stenosis with low flow statusby Hiroki Okamoto, Atsushi Hayashi, Jun Matsubayashi, Daiki Yoshida, Misato Kodama, Yosuke Higo, Kohei Asada and Yoshihisa Nakagawa on November 3, 2025 at 12:00 am
Determining the severity of aortic stenosis (AS) with low-flow (LF) status remains challenging because conventional echocardiographic indicators often yield discordant results. The velocity ratio (VR), in addi...
- Subclinical myocardial dysfunction detected by speckletracking in asymptomatic individuals with exerciseinduced premature ventricular complexesby Muhammet Geneş and Uygar Çağdaş Yüksel on October 23, 2025 at 12:00 am
Exercise-induced premature ventricular complexes (EI-PVCs) are key indicators of subclinical cardiac dysfunction and elevated cardiovascular risk. However, their clinical significance and prognostic value rema...
- Prognostic value of adenosine stress echocardiography in chronic coronary syndromes with preserved left ventricular ejection fractionby Li Zhao, Peng-Li Xu, Qing-Yi Luo, Xuan Su, Shu-Han Ye, Zi-Long Yang, Xiao-Lei Song, Qing-Hui Wang and Yun-Chuan Ding on October 6, 2025 at 12:00 am
The prognostic value of functional echocardiographic parameters for risk stratification in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to integrate resting and stress echo...
- Gerbode defect resulting from ineffective treatment of infective endocarditis: a case reportby Kassandra S. Carter, Philip Reed and James Gentry III on September 22, 2025 at 12:00 am
Infective endocarditis is a common medical complication in patients with intravenous drug use (IVDU). staphylococcal infection is the predominant pathogen in left-sided endocarditis. Cardiac abscesses are more...
- Current status and advances in ultrasound evaluation of neovascularization within carotid artery plaques: a systematic reviewby Yang Yang, Fangqin Liu, Jiaojun Yan, Yunhao Luo, Qiuyun Huang and Lang Qiao on September 1, 2025 at 12:00 am
Vulnerable plaques are significant risk factors for acute ischemic events, and intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is an important indicator for evaluating plaque vulnerability. This review summarizes the imp...
