“Hot Septum” Sign of Constrictive Pericarditis

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
In patients with constrictive pericarditis, a characteristic reduction in the regional longitudinal strain seen in the areas of the left ventricular free wall and relative sparing of the septal longitudinal strain values create an easily recognizable ...

In vivo carotid strain imaging using principal strains in longitudinal view [PDF]

Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2019
Abstract Carotid plaque rupture can result in stroke or transient ischemic attack that can be devastating for patients. Ultrasound strain imaging provides a noninvasive method to identify unstable plaque likely to rupture.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Trajectory of Diastolic Function after Heart Transplantation as Assessed by Left Atrial Deformation Analysis

Diagnostics
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a prevalent and clinically significant complication after heart transplantation (HTX). We aimed to characterize the diastolic function of HTX recipients with both short-term and long-term follow-ups by applying left atrial ...

Race and Household Income Are Associated With Disease Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Hospitalized in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among

Left ventricular longitudinal strain and strain rate are preload dependent

The FASEB Journal, 2012
2D‐speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) derived strain and strain rate measurements have been proposed as potential non‐invasive measures of myocardial deformation and function. However, the effects of left ventricular (LV) loading conditions on 2D‐STE derived LV longitudinal strain and strain rate have not been elucidated.

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...
