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 ...

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.

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

A simplified definition of diastolic function in sepsis, compared against standard definitions

Journal of Intensive Care, 2019
Background Guidelines for grading diastolic dysfunction poorly categorize septic patients. We compared how well the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 2009 and 2016 definitions and a simplified definition categorized septic patients.
