Effects of severe scoliosis on cardiac structure and function in resting patients: a retrospective study

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Severe scoliosis may impair cardiac structure and function. This study aims to evaluate the cardiac structural and functional changes in patients with severe thoracic scoliosis at rest, using echocardiography to inform perioperative strategies.

The Multi-Biomarker Approach for Heart Failure in Patients with Hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
We assessed the predictive ability of selected biomarkers using N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as the benchmark and tried to establish a multi-biomarker approach to heart failure (HF) in hypertensive patients. In 120 hypertensive

Learning curve for quantification of right ventricular size and systolic function in pulmonary arterial hypertension: comparison of cardiac magnetic resonance and three-dimensional echocardiography [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2012
Background Quantification of right ventricular (RV) volumes is challenging, particularly in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who often have dilated and dysfunctional RVs. Several studies have shown that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) provide very reliable measurements of RV volumes when ...

Segmentation of the evolving left ventricle by learning the dynamics [PDF]

, 2008
We propose a method for recursive segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) across a temporal sequence of magnetic resonance (MR) images. The approach involves a technique for learning the LV boundary dynamics together with a particle-based inference ...
