Echocardiographic AV-interval optimization in patients with reduced left ventricular function
Background Ritter's method is a tool used to optimize AV delay in DDD pacemaker patients with normal left ventricular function only. The goal of our study was to evaluate Ritter's method in AV delay-interval optimization in patients with reduced left ...

Right ventricular abnormalities assessed by myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography using technetium-99m sestamibi/tetrofosmin in right ventricle-originated ventricular tachyarrhythmias [PDF]
OBJECTIVESWe sought to determine whether right ventricular (RV) perfusion imaging with technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi or tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography has diagnostic benefit for RV-originated ventricular tachyarrhythmias (RVT).

Prophylactic Use of Cardiac Medications and Survival in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Prophylactic treatment of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) delays onset of LVD, but there is limited data showing impact on survival. Our aim was to describe survival among treated and untreated individuals with DMD.

Estimation of ejection fraction with ventriculography versus echocardiography in patients referred for cardiac surgery [PDF]
: Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the estimation of ejection fraction (EF) by ventricuography (VG) and echocardiography (ECHO) in patients referred for surgery and to validate the results by comparison with other published data.

Summary of the various echocardiographic parameters that must be measured for the assessment of right ventricular function in cases of significant tricuspid regurgitation. ABSTRACT Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an increasingly prevalent condition, especially in older populations, and presents significant challenges due to its association with right ...
