The impact of different geometric assumption of mitral annulus on the assessment of mitral regurgitation volume by Doppler method

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2020
Background Mitral regurgitation volume (MRvol) by quantitative pulsed Doppler (QPD) method previously recommended suffers from geometric assumption error because of circular geometric assumption of mitral annulus (MA).

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 ...

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]

, 2018
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

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

Echocardiography in adults

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2019
Transthoracic echocardiography is the primary non-invasive modality for anatomical and functional cardiac assessment. All one-, two-dimensional and Doppler modes use the same phenomenon, i.e. the piezoelectric effect, to visualize mobile cardiac structures and blood flow in cardiac cavities.

Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography for the assessment of straddling tricuspid or mitral valves [PDF]

, 2008
Background The advent of 3D echocardiography has provided a technique which, potentially, could afford significant additional information over conventional cross-sectional echocardiography in the assessment of patients with straddling atrioventricular ...

Left atrial strain for predicting recurrence in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation: a single-center two-dimensional speckle tracking retrospective study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Although catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), a good many of patients still have a recurrence following post-operation.
