Strain imaging to assess early effects of successful percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy on left atrium mechanics

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2019
Background Global left atrial strain (LA) has been used as a novel assessment tool to evaluate left atrial function. However, not much has been investigated to study the effect of percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) in patients with rheumatic ...

Thermodilution vs estimated Fick cardiac output measurement in an elderly cohort of patients: A single-centre experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
AIMS: Patients referred to the cath-lab are an increasingly elderly population. Thermodilution (TD, gold standard) and the estimated Fick method (eFM) are interchangeably used in the clinical routine to measure cardiac output (CO).

A novel mathematical technique to assess of the mitral valve dynamics based on echocardiography [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Purpose: The mechanics of the mitral valve leaflet as a nonlinear, inelastic and anisotropic soft tissue results from an integrated response of many mathematical/physical indexes' that illustrate the tissue. In the past decade, finite element modeling of complete heart valves has greatly aided evaluation of heart valve surgery, design of bioprosthetic ...

Application Value of Myocardial Segmental Thickness Variability Measured by Echocardiography in Distinguishing Ischemic and Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Echocardiographic measurement of myocardial segmental thickness variability (STV) effectively differentiates between ischemic and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. STV, combined with regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA), provides high diagnostic accuracy, offering a noninvasive alternative to coronary angiography for guiding treatment strategies.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) for degenerated mitral valve bioprosthesis - A case series

open access: yesIHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2023
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the leading cause of heart valve disease worldwide. In aging population, the incidence of mitral regurgitation (MR) has gradually surpassed that of aortic valve stenosis.
