Subclinical left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: insights from noninvasive left ventricular myocardial work analysis

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with various cardiovascular diseases and has aroused public concern. Early detection for declining myocardial function is of great significance.

Echocardiography by a neonatologist [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1999
Editor,—As to who should perform echocardiography,1 I report the experience of a neonatal intensive care unit in Townsville, 1500 km from the cardiac centre in Brisbane, Australia. Echocardiography is performed by a neonatologist using a Toshiba 140 with colour Doppler.

Left ventricular systolic function changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients detected by the strain of different myocardium layers and longitudinal rotation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background Impairment of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal function has an important role in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This research investigated an association between the longitudinal strain of different myocardial layers, longitudinal ...

Knockdown of DVL2 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration

Scientific Reports
Despite advancements in drug-eluting stent technology, the incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains around 5–10%. The complex mechanisms of ISR are primarily based on the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Impact of age on pulmonary artery systolic pressures at rest and with exercise

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
Aim: It is not well known if advancing age influences normal rest or exercise pulmonary artery pressures. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the association of increasing age with measurements of pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest and with ...

Advances in Echocardiography

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1991
Before the development of echocardiography, cardiac disease in the horse was diagnosed if a loud heart murmur (grade III-IV/VI or louder) and clinical signs of congestive heart failure (coughing, edema, venous distention, jugular pulsations) were detected on physical examination.
