The Incremental Role of Stress Echocardiography in Valvular Heart Disease: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis and risk stratification of valvular heart disease have traditionally relied on resting echocardiography. However, in a significant portion of patients, resting findings do not fully reflect the hemodynamic severity of

Diastolic dysfunction types in the prediction of viable myocardium functional recovery [PDF]
Background/Aim. It is well known that patients with coronary artery disease and viable tissue as a guarantee of contractile recovery (CR), despite of decreasing ejection fraction (EF) and systolic dysfunction, could have benefit from surgical ...

Frequency and characteristics of myocardial ischemia recorded during stress echocardiography in patients with high coronary risk [PDF]
Background/Aim. Ischemic heart disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world as well as in our country. Ischemic heart disease has the multifactorial origin and the presence of several risk factors increases the risk of myocardial

Platelet aggregability and anticoagulant proteins activity during dobutamine stress echocardiography in asymptomatic patients four months after percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Introduction: Platelets aggregability (PA) and the activation of hemostasis, during myocardial ischemia within physical or mental stress, can be one of many factors that influence the process of stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary ...

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)

Predictive significance of residual ischemia proved by dobutamine stress: Echocardiography test in patients early after the first uncomplicated myocardial infarction [PDF]
Background. To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of dobutamine stress-echocardiography (ECG) test for new coronary events (new episodes of angina pectoris, cardiac-related deaths, and reinfarctions) early after the first uncomplicated myocardial ...
