Assessment Of Response To Heart Failure Therapy: Ventricular Volume Changes Versus Shape Changes [PDF]
, 2011 The prolate ellipsoid left ventricular geometry is crucial for its unique contraction and relaxation patterns. Perturbations in optimal cardiac function preceding overt heart failure ensue when this ellipsoid shape assumes a more spherical configuration.

Adaptive Contrast for Image Regression in Computer-Aided Disease Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Image regression tasks for medical applications, such as bone mineral density (BMD) estimation and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) prediction, play an important role in computer-aided disease assessment. Most deep regression methods train the neural network with a single regression loss function like MSE or L1 loss.

UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase variants cause dystroglycanopathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) variants have been associated with hypotonia, developmental delay, and epilepsy. We report the first pathologic evidence of dystroglycanopathy in siblings with UGDH variants. Both presented around 6 months with developmental delay and elevated creatinine kinase.

The Impact of Myocardial Infarction on Ventricular Function [PDF]
, 1990 Eighty one patients were studied using radionuclide ventriculography to study the effects of myocardial infarction (36 anterior and 45 inferior) on ventricular function during the early and convalescent phases.

The Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Treatment of Heart Failure [PDF]
, 2017 The number of patients who suffer from heart failure is rapidly increasing. In about one‐third of heart failure patients, conduction delays cause dyssynchronous left ventricular contractions, which leads to reduction in left ventricular function, adverse

Left ventricular global systolic function assessment by echocardiography
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2016 The left ventricle, with its thickened myocardial walls, unlike the right ventricle has no measurable geometric shape. It has a conical apex and its function quantification, needs intensive, 2D, 3D and M mode transesophageal echocardiography, which is ...
