Long‐term passive heat acclimation enhances maximal oxygen consumption via haematological and cardiac adaptation in endurance runners

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Figure Legend Endurance‐trained runners completed a 5‐week hot‐water‐immersion (HWI) intervention (≥40°C, 45 min, five sessions per week) and a training‐matched control period in a cross‐over design. HWI induced a 33 g increase in haemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and a 10 mL expansion in left‐ventricular end‐diastolic volume (LVEDV), resulting in a 2.

Acute myocarditis with normal wall motion detected with 2D speckle tracking echocardiography

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
We present the case of a 26-year-old male with acute tonsillitis who was referred for coronary angiography because of chest pain, elevated cardiac biomarkers, and biphasic T waves. The patient had no cardiovascular risk factors.

Seismocardiographic Signal Timing with Myocardial Strain

, 2017
Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) is a relatively new method for cardiac function evaluation. In the current study, STE was used to investigate the timing of heart-induced mostly subaudible (i.e., below the frequency limit of human hearing) chest ...

An automated in vitro model for the evaluation of ultrasound modalities measuring myocardial deformation [PDF]

, 2010
Background Echocardiography is the method of choice when one wishes to examine myocardial function. Qualitative assessment of the 2D grey scale images obtained is subjective, and objective methods are required.

Fetal Cardiac Function in Early Labour and Intrapartum Outcomes: A Prospective Observational Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, Volume 133, Issue 7, Page 1414-1423, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To assess fetal myocardial deformation in normo‐oxygenated foetuses in early labour and its relationship with intrapartum outcomes. Design Single centre prospective study. Setting Referral tertiary maternity unit. Population Uncomplicated singleton term pregnancies in early labour. Methods Two‐dimensional (2D) ultrasound clips of the

Cardiac Motion Analysis Based on Optical Flow on Real-Time Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Data [PDF]

, 2006
With relatively high frame rates and the ability to acquire volume data sets with a stationary transducer, 3D ultrasound systems, based on matrix phased array transducers, provide valuable three-dimensional information, from which quantitative measures ...

Intersecting Molecular Pathways in Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Mellitus: Emerging Roles of Inflammation and Therapeutics

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 42, Issue 4, May 2026.
Central illustration: Pathophysiological mechanisms linking diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Chronic hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, and low‐grade inflammation contribute to endothelial dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Role of speckle tracking echocardiography in detecting early left atrial dysfunction in hypertensive patients

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018
Background: Arterial hypertension adversely affects left atrial (LA) size and function, effect on function may precede effect on size. Many techniques were used to assess LA function but with pitfalls.

Early and late systolic wall stress differentially relate to myocardial contraction and relaxation in middle-aged adults: the Asklepios study [PDF]

, 2013
Experimental studies implicate late systolic load as a determinant of impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation. We aimed to assess the relationship between the myocardial loading sequence and left ventricular (LV) contraction and relaxation.

Speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with stroke

European Heart Journal, 2020
Abstract Introduction Global longitudinal strain (GLS) via speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) has emerged as a quantitative technique to estimate myocardial function and has been shown to have clinical utility in a variety of settings.
