The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function based on the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASE/EACVI) guidelines requires measurement o...
- Prediction of pulmonary artery sling in children using echocardiography: scoring based on pulmonary artery bifurcation and pulmonary valve ring distanceby Qiu-Chen Xu, Jian-Feng Liu, Min Xie, Zong-Jie Weng, Qiang Chen and Shan Guo on April 1, 2025 at 12:00 am
To analyze the echocardiography characteristics of pulmonary artery sling (PAS) and explore the diagnostic value of the distance between the bifurcation of the left and right pulmonary arteries and the pulmona...
- 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 ...
