Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...

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.

Association of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) with survival time in Boxer dogs with ventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a useful estimate of right ventricular function in humans. Reference intervals for dogs have been generated, but the value of measuring TAPSE in other diseases, or investigating the ...

Left ventricular pressure-volume relationship in a rat model of advanced aging-associated heart failure. [PDF]
Aging is associated with profound changes in the structure and function of the heart. A fundamental understanding of these processes, using relevant animal models, is required for effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the ...

Right ventricular systolic function and cardiac resynchronization therapy
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the impact of CRT on RV function in a beagle model of heart failure (HF).

The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization reduces symptoms and improves left ventricular function in many patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony.
