Tissue Doppler echocardiography – A case of right tool, wrong use

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2004
Background The developments in echocardiography or ultrasound cardiography (UCG) have improved our clinical capabilities. However, advanced hardware and software capabilities have resulted in UCG facilities of dubious clinical benefits. Is tissue Doppler

Prognostic implications of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in heart failure patients with narrow QRS complex treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: a subanalysis of the randomized EchoCRT trial [PDF]

, 2016
Aim: Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) reflects LV systolic function and correlates inversely with the extent of LV myocardial scar and fibrosis.

Magnetocardiography combined with machine learning for pulmonary hypertension detection and improved short‐term risk assessment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) enables non‐invasive mapping of cardiac magnetic fields. In this study, an MCG‐based machine learning model detects pulmonary hypertension with robust performance. Furthermore, MCG features may improve the accuracy of short‐term risk assessment.

Implementation and Performance of First‐Trimester Referral Ultrasound Scan Following the Introduction of National Guidelines

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
The expert assessment of fetal anatomy before 14 weeks is feasible when adopting a standardized protocol and allows an early diagnosis in most cases at risk for fetal anomaly following first trimester screening ultrasound. ABSTRACT Background To report the implementation across Fetal Medicine units and the agreement between first and second trimester ...

Large Hydatid Cyst in the Cardiac Interventricular Septum: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas in Tibet. The heart is an uncommon location of echinococcosis, and involvement of the interventricular septum is even rarer. This disease can remain asymptomatic for a long time, but may result in cardiac tamponade and sudden death.

Successful propranolol therapy for infantile hepatic hemangioma with cardiac failure

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) can cause severe complications such as high‐output cardiac failure and growth faltering, requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. In the absence of standardized treatment guidelines, propranolol has emerged as an effective and well‐tolerated therapy.

Simultaneous Assessment of Skeletal Muscle Energetics and Blood Flow During Dynamic Exercise by Interleaved 31P‐MRS/1H‐MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To simultaneously measure skeletal muscle energetics and blood flow (BF) before, during, and after dynamic plantar flexion exercise (PFE). Methods Non‐localized pulse‐acquire phosphorus‐31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) and phase contrast flow magnetic resonance imaging (1H MRI) using golden‐angle rotated spiral readouts ...

5D Flow MRI Reveals Respiration‐Driven Changes in Blood Flow Energetics in Congenital Heart Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Hemodynamic monitoring is essential for patients with right‐sided congenital heart disease (CHD). Respiration may have an increased impact on pulmonary flow in these patients that cannot be assessed by standard tools including 4D flow MRI. This study uses 5D flow MRI to assess respiratory‐cycle variations in flow energetics in patients
