Ultrasound‐Based Z Score and Pulmonary Valve/Aortic Valve Diameter Ratio Improving the Predictive Value of Fetal Aortic Stenosis

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A total of 24 singleton fetuses with suspected AS who underwent two or more fetal echocardiograms were enrolled in this study. Using electronic spatiotemporal image correlation (eSTIC) technology, the AV and PV Z scores, along with the PV/AV ratio, were measured and compared between two echocardiographic examinations to assess diagnostic efficacy ...

4D Flow MRI Velocity and Turbulence Mapping in Mild Valvular Heart Disease

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Valvular heart disease (VHD) commonly leads to the development of turbulent blood flow. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), measured with 4D flow MRI, may be a complement to current metrics for early identification of VHD. Purpose To investigate TKE as a marker of VHD in relation to flow velocity and cardiovascular geometry.

Echocardiographic quantification of mitral apparatus morphology and dynamics in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research
Mitral regurgitation is among the most common valvular heart diseases. Mitral regurgitation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy is a complex pathology involving annular dilatation, papillary muscle displacement, systolic leaflet tethering, and left ...

Combining Detailed Fetal Anatomy Scanning in the NT Window Versus Early Second Trimester Scanning at 14–16 Weeks

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives First‐trimester ultrasound has evolved to incorporate a detailed fetal anatomy scan (FAS) with nuchal translucency (NT) screening. Many institutions use a 2‐visit protocol: NT followed by detailed FAS at 14–16 weeks. We aimed to evaluate whether integrating detailed FAS into the NT window (12 + 5 to 13 + 6 weeks) is non‐inferior in ...

In vitro characterization of hemodynamics in bicuspid aortic valves: The impact of valve and ascending aortic morphologies

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study investigated the effect of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology and ascending aortic curvature (AAAc) bending angles on aortic hemodynamics, focusing on transvalvular jets and secondary helical flows that contribute to systolic hemodynamic stress linked to aortic complications.

A case of mitral papillary muscle rupture due to blunt chest trauma

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2011
Mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle rupture after blunt chest trauma is uncommon. Sudden onset severe mitral regurgitation may lead to death due to heart failure if surgical repair is delayed.
