Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation of aortic plaque after cerebrovascular event

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2023
Introduction and objectives: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is crucial in order to assess aortic anatomy after stroke. Although routinely used to assess cardiovascular anatomy and function, three-dimensional echocardiography (3D TEE) is less used

Ultrasound‐targeted cationic microbubbles combined with the NFκB binding motif increase SDF‐1α gene transfection: A protective role in hearts after myocardial infarction

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major challenge. The chemokine family plays an important role in cardiac injury, repair, and remodeling following MI, while stromal cell‐derived factor‐1 alpha (SDF‐1α) is the most promising therapeutic ...

Exercise Echocardiography

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 1988
AbstractExercise testing is an indispensable component of clinical cardiology. Latent disease or the full extent of a problem may not be apparent on a resting examination. Some form of stress is frequently necessary, especially in patients with coronary disease, to appreciate whether a patient has stress‐induced ischaemia as manifested by exercise ...

Reduced mechanical function of the left atrial predicts adverse outcome in pregnant women with clustering of metabolic risk factors

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Introduction The left atrial (LA) strain and strain rate are sensitive indicators of LA function. However, they are not widely used for the evaluation of pregnant women with metabolic diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the LA strain and strain
