Relation between three-dimensional and two-dimensional echocardiography and biochemical analysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction percutaneously treated [PDF]
Objective: The prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction depends on multiple features that can demonstrate myocardial injury degree (such as serum markers of cardiac necrosis), and also on adaptive mechanisms relative to the acute event. The

Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Role of Obesity
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a growing epidemic and accounts for half of all patients with heart failure. Increasing prevalence, morbidity, and clinical inertia have spurred a rethinking of the pathophysiology of heart failure with ...

Autonomic regulation therapy to enhance myocardial function in heart failure patients: the ANTHEM-HFpEF study. [PDF]
BackgroundApproximately half of the patients presenting with new-onset heart failure (HF) have HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...

Left ventricular systolic function evaluated by strain echocardiography and relationship with mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes, but traditional measurements of systolic function such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) do not directly correlate with prognosis.

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]
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 ...
