Value of quantitative analysis of left ventricular systolic function in patients on maintenance hemodialysis based on myocardial work technique

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background This study aimed to determine the left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) using the myocardial work (MW) technique and investigate the clinical value of the MW technique for the quantitative ...

An exploration of the potential utility of fetal cardiovascular MRI as an adjunct to fetal echocardiography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objectives: Fetal cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a potential alternative to echocardiography, although in practice, its use has been limited. We sought to explore the need for additional imaging in a tertiary fetal cardiology unit

The basics of echocardiography

open access: yesJournal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2010
Cardiac echocardiography is becoming an essential diagnostic tool for a variety of cardiac pathology. Acquiring the necessary knowledge will help non cardiac and the cardiac specialist to understand the echocardiography images and reports and in return will improve the care of the patients.

Non‐Invasive Diagnosis of Chronic Myocardial Infarction via Composite In‐Silico‐Human Data Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a non‐invasive machine learning model to identify infarct regions in the left ventricle using cardiac strain data. By combining rodent‐based simulated data with limited human data, the model achieves high accuracy in predicting infarct size and location without the need for gadolinium contrast agents, offering a promising ...

Subclinical left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: insights from noninvasive left ventricular myocardial work analysis

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with various cardiovascular diseases and has aroused public concern. Early detection for declining myocardial function is of great significance.

Echocardiography. [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1988
Imaging echocardiography is an important extension of the clinical examination and will answer most questions in an emergency-for example, whether an enlarged cardiac shadow on the chest radiograph represents ventricular dilatation or an effusion. Doppler ultrasonography is essential for hospitals with an interest in cardiology because it provides ...

Chronic Psychological Stress Induces Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Through Corticosterone‐Glucocorticoid Receptor‐LAMA5 Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In vivo experiments suggest that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac pathological changes induced by chronic psychological stress. In vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the corticosterone‐glucocorticoid receptor‐LAMA5 axis mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by chronic psychological stress. The clinical results

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation of aortic plaque after cerebrovascular event

open access: yesRevista 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

Quantitative evaluation of longitudinal strain in layer-specific myocardium during normal pregnancy in China

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2016
Background The myocardial wall of the left ventricle is a complex, multilayered structure and is not homogenous. The aim of this study was to determine longitudinal strain (LS) in the three myocardial layers in normal pregnant women according to ...
