Echocardiographic Normal Reference Ranges for Non-invasive Myocardial Work Parameters in Pediatric Age: Results From an International Multi-Center Study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
AimsThis international multi-center study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of non-invasive myocardial work (MW) parameters in the pediatric population, and to provide normal reference ranges for this useful echocardiographic tool in ...

Prediction of Significant Coronary Artery Disease Through Advanced Echocardiography: Role of Non-invasive Myocardial Work

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Non-invasive prediction of critical coronary artery stenosis (CAST) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is challenging. Strain parameters can often capture an impairment of regional longitudinal function; however, they are load ...

The relationship between mechanical dyssynchrony of the left ventricular myocardium and the degree of coronary artery occlusion in patients with coronary artery disease

Медицина неотложных состояний, 2023
Background. The prevalence of chronic heart failure in the world is increasing; however, it is stabilizing in developed countries. One of the reasons for this stabilization is an improvement of acute coronary syndrome treatment and revascularization ...

Potential for Dose Reduction in CT-Derived Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction: A Simulation Study

Tomography, 2023
Background: Measuring left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is important for detecting heart failure, e.g., in treatment with potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy. MRI is considered the reference standard for LVEF, but availability may be limited and

Application of updated guidelines on diastolic dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock

Annals of Intensive Care, 2017
Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is suggested to be associated with higher mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock, yet the methods of diagnosis described in the literature are often inconsistent. The recently published 2016 American

Comprehensive Echocardiographic Assessment of the Right Ventricular Performance: beyond TAPSE and Fractional Area Change

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2020
Right ventricular (RV) performance is an important predictor of adverse events and mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography is the first-choice imaging modality for the assessment of RV systolic function, however conventional ...

Are HFpEF and HFmrEF So Different? The Need to Understand Distinct Phenotypes

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Traditionally, patients with heart failure (HF) are divided according to ejection fraction (EF) threshold more or <50%. In 2016, the ESC guidelines introduced a new subgroup of HF patients including those subjects with EF ranging between 40 and 49 ...

Global longitudinal strain changes during hemorrhagic shock: An experimental study

Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020
OBJECTIVES: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) appears sensitive and reproducible to identify left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The main objective was to analyze the GLS changes in an anesthetized-piglet model of controlled hemorrhagic shock (HS). The

Beneficial Cardiac Structural and Functional Adaptations After Lumbosacral Spinal Cord Epidural Stimulation and Task-Specific Interventions: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Cardiac myocyte atrophy and the resulting decreases to the left ventricular mass and dimensions are well documented in spinal cord injury. Therapeutic interventions that increase preload can increase the chamber size and improve the diastolic filling ...

Effect of spironolactone on vascular stiffness in hemodialysis patients: a randomized crossover trial

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: The role of spironolactone treatment in hemodialysis patients is debated, but a survival benefit is suggested. Mineralocorticoids and chronic kidney disease have been linked to cardiovascular fibrosis.
