Risk assessment in interstitial lung disease: the incremental prognostic value of cardiopulmonary ultrasound

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background The mortality risk of chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is currently assessed using the ILD-GAP score. The present study evaluates whether the addition of cardiopulmonary ultrasound parameters to the ILD-GAP score can further improve the

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

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.

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 ...

Case Report: Biventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy With Pulmonary Stenosis and Bradycardia in a Fetus With KCNH2 Mutation

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare ion channel disease, and simultaneous occurrence of both is even rarer.

Accuracy of quantitative echocardiographic measures of right ventricular function as compared to cardiovascular magnetic resonance

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2016
Background: Many echocardiographic parameters have been proposed to evaluate right ventricular (RV) systolic function. We comprehensively assessed a wide range of quantitative echocardiographic parameters in a single cohort compared with same-day ...

Reduced left atrial contractile strain with speckle tracking analysis predicts abnormal plasma NTproBNP in an asymptomatic community population

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2022
Background The left atrium (LA) is closely related to left ventricular diastolic function. Two-dimensional speckle tracking strain and strain rate (SR) imaging has been applied in the study of LA function.
