Echocardiographic characterization of heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure is a highly prevalent disease. In failure, the pump function of the heart is insufficient, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fluid retention. Echocardiography is commonly used to diagnose heart failure.

Speckle-tracking echocardiography combined with imaging mass spectrometry assesses region-dependent alterations [PDF]
Left ventricular (LV) contraction is characterized by shortening and thickening of longitudinal and circumferential fibres. To date, it is poorly understood how LV deformation is altered in the pathogenesis of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes
