Effects of anesthesia on conventional and speckle tracking echocardiographic parameters in a mouse model of pressure overload [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Genetically‑modified mice are widely applied in cardiovascular studies as model organisms. Echocardiography is a key tool for evaluating cardiac and hemodynamic functions in mice.

A Large Retrospective Study to Evaluate Utility of Zephyr Covered Stent in Transcatheter Closure of Sinus Venosus Defects

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter closure (TCC) of sinus venosus defects (SVD) using balloon‐expandable covered stents is an emerging alternative to surgery. ZephyrCS (Sahajanand Laser Technologies, Gandhinagar, India) is available in long lengths to suit SVD closure.

The Incidence, Severity and Clinical Consequence of Left Pulmonary Artery Stenosis After PDA Device Closure in Premature Infants Less Than 2 Kilograms

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device closure is an effective treatment option for premature infants with hemodynamically significant PDA. Left pulmonary artery (LPA) stenosis has been reported as a complication, however there is limited data on risk factors, clinical significance, and long‐term outcomes.

Incremental value of three-dimensional echocardiography in the evaluation of left ventricular size in mitral regurgitation: A follow-up study after mitral valve surgery

open access: yes, 2014
Background Increased left ventricular (LV) dimensions are an indication for surgery in patients with asymptomatic mitral regurgitation, but M-mode or two-dimensional measurements have known limitations. The aim of this study was to determine the value of

Comprehensive analysis of left ventricular geometry and function by three-dimensional echocardiography in healthy adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Recent European Association of Echocardiography and American Society of Echocardiography guidelines on three-dimensional echocardiography state that normal values of left ventricular (LV) parameters for age and body size remain to be ...

Feasibility and Procedural Considerations of Balloon‐Expandable TAVR in Patients With Prior Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafts

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and short‐term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon‐expandable Sapien valves in patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts. Methods We conducted a single‐center, retrospective study of 23 patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts who underwent TAVR ...

When Subtle Guiding Catheter‐Induced Stent Deformation Leads to Abluminal Guidewire Passage: Successful IVUS Tip‐Detection‐Guided Bailout

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incomplete stent apposition at the proximal coronary artery may predispose to subtle guiding catheter–induced stent deformation, creating a gap between the stent and the vessel wall that facilitates inadvertent abluminal guidewire passage. We report a case in which balloon dilatation over an unrecognized abluminal guidewire resulted in severe ...

Growth differentiation factor‐15 and N‐terminal pro‐BNP in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 888-899, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Echocardiography in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cardiovascular Complications

open access: yesMedicina, 2020
Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are systemic diseases frequently affecting the heart and vessels. The main cardiovascular complications are pericarditis, myocarditis, valvular disease, obstructive coronary artery disease and coronary microcirculatory ...
