Doppler Echocardiography-Guided Heart Rate Modulation Therapy Using Ivabradine in a Patient with Systolic Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart rate reduction using ivabradine, a selective If channel blocker that purely decreases heart rate without affecting hemodynamics, improves clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure.

Abnormal myocardial performance index in M-mode color tissue Doppler-echocardiography [PDF]
The myocardial performance index (MPI) is used for global systolic-diastolic left ventricular function and prognosis assessment in patients with heart disease, allowing assessment of the patient‘s current condition and disease development follow-up.

Mixed Valvular Disease Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Quantification and Systematic Differentiation Using Clinical Measurements and Image-Based Patient‐Specific In Silico Modeling [PDF]
Background: Mixed valvular disease (MVD), mitral regurgitation (MR) from pre‐existing disease in conjunction with paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is one of the most important stimuli for left ventricle (LV)

Doppler echocardiography: A contemporary review [PDF]
The 2D echocardiographic examination of the heart provides insight into structure and function, providing a precise anatomical display of the cardiovascular anatomy with high temporal resolution. Prior to advances in 2D imaging, Doppler echocardiography had been the mainstay of cardiovascular noninvasive assessment. Doppler echocardiography, remains an
