Assessment of right atrium dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome using velocity vector imaging

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2018
Background and Objectives This study aimed to assess the changes of RA function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using velocity vector imaging (VVI) and to evaluate the application of VVI technology. Methods According to the apnea–

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.

Noncompaction of the left ventricle: a new cardiomyopathy is presented to the clinician

São Paulo Medical Journal
Noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium is a morphogenetic abnormality involving loss of compaction of the myocardial fiber meshwork during intrauterine life. It is an extremely rare condition, accounting for only 0.05% of the cases evaluated in

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 ...

Development and Validation of a Diagnostic Nomogram for Predicting Hypertension in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea at High Altitude

International Journal of Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been established as one of the independent risk factors for hypertension, and its coexistence substantially raises the risk of cardiovascular incidents.

Intraoperative echocardiography

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1990
Intraoperative echocardiography has emerged as a new technique by which the cardiac surgeon can more precisely define the operative anatomy and physiology, immediately evaluate the results, and more accurately monitor left ventricular function in the operating room.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.

High reclassification rate of height-indexed left atrial volume in obese and overweight patients with cardiac pathologies in daily clinical practice

Scientific Reports
We sought to investigate the frequency of left atrial (LA) size reclassification in obese and overweight patients with heart disease, adjusting LA volume (LAvol) for height rather than BSA.
