The Role of Strain by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Predicting the Prognosis of Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2023
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by thrombotic obstruction of the pulmonary arteries, and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major cause of death.

Comparison of left ventricular longitudinal systolic function parameters in the prediction of adverse outcome in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims Several different diagnostic parameters can be used to assess left ventricular (LV) longitudinal systolic function, but no studies comparing their predictive value have been conducted.

Sex differences in left-ventricular strain in a murine model of coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis

iScience, 2023
Summary: Myocarditis is typically caused by viral infections, but most cases are thought to be subclinical. Echocardiography is often used for initial assessment of myocarditis patients but is poor at detecting subtle changes in cardiac dysfunction ...

Prognostic utility of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation undergoing mitral valve surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

European Heart Journal, 2021
Abstract Background Mitral valve (MV) surgery is recommended for the treatment of chronic severe mitral regurgitation (MR). However, the optimal timing of surgery in patients with asymptomatic severe primary MR remains elusive.

Predictors of cardiac involvement and survival in patients with primary systemic light-chain amyloidosis: roles of the clinical, chemical, and 3-D speckle tracking echocardiography parameters

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis with poor prognosis. Currently, the predictors of cardiac involvement and prognostic staging systems are primarily based on conventional echocardiography and ...

Gender differences in two-dimensional and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography left ventricular measurements among healthy preschool pediatric population

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is an upcoming echocardiographic modality to measure global as well as segmental left ventricular systolic function expressed numerically as strain values independent of angle and ventricular geometry ...

Multi-chamber three-dimensional myocardial strain assessment by computed tomography: a comparison with speckle tracking echocardiography and association with pulmonary hypertension in severe aortic stenosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundMyocardial strain imaging is a robust tool for evaluating extra-valvular remodelling in aortic stenosis (AS). Multi-phase cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography acquired for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning enables ...

Differences in left ventricular functional adaptation to arterial stiffness and neurohormonal activation in patients with hypertension: a study with two-dimensional layer-specific speckle tracking echocardiography

Clinical Hypertension, 2017
Background Arterial stiffness increases pressure load to the left ventricle (LV), leading to LV hypertrophy and subendocardial ischemia. Neurohormones stimulate myocardial fibrosis and LV dysfunction.
