Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Left atrial strain analysis improves left ventricular filling pressures non-invasive estimation in the acute phase of Takotsubo syndrome

, 2023
Aims The aim of our study is to assess the ability of left atrial (LA) strain values to improve left ventricular and diastolic pressure (LVEDP) non-invasive estimation as compared with traditional echocardiographic indexes in the acute phase of Takotsubo

Left Atrial Strain is More Sensitive and Specific Than Left Ventricular Strain in Differentiating Cardiac Amyloidosis From Pathological Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Background Early diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is necessary to initiate specific treatment and improve outcomes. Conventional echocardiography is unable to reliably differentiate CA from other causes of increased left ventricular (LV) wall ...
