Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2019 Background Normative reference values for echocardiographic chamber quantification are of great importance; however, this can be challenging. Our aim was to derive these values including degrees of abnormality from a random Central European population ...

Real-time Assessment of Right and Left Ventricular Volumes and Function in Children Using High Spatiotemporal Resolution Spiral bSSFP with Compressed Sensing [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Background: Real-time (RT) assessment of ventricular volumes and function enables data acquisition during free-breathing. However, in children the requirement for high spatiotemporal resolution requires accelerated imaging techniques. In this study, we implemented a novel RT bSSFP spiral sequence reconstructed using Compressed Sensing (CS) and ...

Management of diastolic heart failure [PDF]
, 2010 Diastolic heart failure (HF) is also referred to as HF with preserved left ventricular systolic function. The distinction between systolic and diastolic HFs is a pathophysiological one and isolated forms of left ventricular dysfunction are rarely ...

Left ventricular dysfunction after open repair of simple congenital heart defects in infants and children: Quantitation with the use of a conductance catheter immediately after bypass [PDF]
, 1998 Objective: Quantification of myocardial injury after the simplest pediatric operations by load-independent indices of left ventricular function, using conductance and Mikro-Tip pressure catheters (Millar Instruments, Inc., Houston, Tex.) inserted through

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

Effect of prolonged space flight on cardiac function and dimensions [PDF]
Echocardiographic studies were performed preflight 5 days before launch and on recovery day and 1, 2, 4, 11, 31 and 68 days postflight. From these echocardiograms measurements were made.

The Role of MCPIP1 in Macrophage Polarization and Cardiac Function Post‐Myocardial Infarction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Following myocardial infarction, MCPIP1 deficiency in macrophages triggers ferroptosis, driving proinflammatory M1 dominance over reparative M2 phenotypes. This imbalance amplifies splenic monocyte release and sustains cardiac inflammation. Concurrently, excessive inflammatory mediators and insufficient TGF‐β impair fibroblast activation, delaying ...

A novel quantitative indicator of the left ventricular contraction based on volume changes of the left ventricular myocardial segments [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Ejection fraction (EF) is commonly measured by echocardiography, by dividing the volume ejected by the heart (stroke volume) by the volume of the filled heart (end-diastolic volume). Utilizing volume changes of left myocardial segments per a cardiac cycle, physical laws and mathematical equations specific echocardiographic data, this paper serves to ...
