The Value of Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain in the Evaluation of Adult Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: a New Tool for a Contemporary Challenge [PDF]
, 2017 OBJECTIVE: The role of right ventricular longitudinal strain for assessing patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate its relation with other structural and functional parameters in these ...

Epicardial Fat in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Compared with Reduced Ejection Fraction. [PDF]
J Clin MedBackground: The role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains to be defined. Methods: A consecutive series of outpatients with chronic heart failure—heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HFpEF and/or diastolic dysfunction—had EAT assessed by echocardiographic measurement and

Two step ejection of massive stars and the issue of their formation in isolation
, 2010 In this paper we investigate the combined effect of massive binary ejection from star clusters and a second acceleration of a massive star during a subsequent supernova explosion. We call this the "two-step-ejection" scenario.

Functional Assessment of Heart Failure Patients
, 2015 Heart failure (HF) is the condition characterized by the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the demands of the body. It has been well established that both the prevalence and incidence of HF is increasing.1 There are 2 primary types ...
