Echocardiography [PDF]

Circulation, 1972
We have discussed the evolution of selected areas of echocardiography in an attempt to illustrate the capabilities and limitations of this method of study. As information has accumulated, some concepts of the specificity of certain echocardiographic patterns have had to be revised.

Stress Echocardiography [PDF]

Heart, 2003
Stress echocardiography may be performed with exercise and nonexercise stressors, although the use of echo contrast agents makes insertion of an intravenous line important for both techniques. The selection of either stress protocol should be tailored to each patient, and in the opinion of this author, an effective stress echo laboratory should offer ...

Early Change in Area Strain Detected by 3D Speckle Tracking Is Associated With Subsequent Cardiotoxicity in Patients Treated With Low Doses of Anthracyclines

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectiveTo evaluate the prognostic impact of the parameters of myocardial deformation using three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in patients with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy with low doses of anthracyclines ...

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

, 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.

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.

Reliability of Early Fetal Echocardiography for Congenital Heart Disease Detection: A Preliminary Experience and Outcome Analysis of 102 Fetuses to Demonstrate the Value of a Clinical Flow-Chart Designed for At-Risk Pregnancy Management [PDF]

, 2016
Early fetal echocardiography (EFEC) is a fetal cardiac ultrasound analysis performed between the 12th and 16th week of pregnancy (compared with the usual 18-22 weeks).

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.

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
