Implementation and Performance of First‐Trimester Referral Ultrasound Scan Following the Introduction of National Guidelines

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
The expert assessment of fetal anatomy before 14 weeks is feasible when adopting a standardized protocol and allows an early diagnosis in most cases at risk for fetal anomaly following first trimester screening ultrasound. ABSTRACT Background To report the implementation across Fetal Medicine units and the agreement between first and second trimester ...

Bulls-eye display and quantitation of myocardial perfusion defects using three-dimensional contrast echocardiography

, 2001
Three-dimensional (3-D) myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is able to derive parallel cutting planes of the left ventricle (LV). However, assessment of the site and extent of myocardial perfusion abnormalities has to rely on the reader's 3-D ...

Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Patient With Incomplete Cor Triatriatum Sinister: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We present the case of a 55‐year‐old male who experienced a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, likely due to a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the setting of an incomplete cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) and a 30 mm GORE Cardioform Septal Occluder was successfully implanted.

Asymptomatic Giant Right Ventricular Myxoma in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report With Favorable Surgical Outcome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We report a 13‐year‐old female with a giant right ventricular myxoma extending to the pulmonary trunk. The tumor was diagnosed by multimodal imaging and completely resected, with favorable short‐term outcomes. ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) myxomas account for < 5% of cardiac myxomas and are often asymptomatic, easily overlooked.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Diagnosis of the prosthetic heart valve pannus formation with real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography

, 2010
Prosthetic heart valve obstruction (PHVO) caused by pannus formation is an uncommon but serious complication. Although two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D-TEE) is the method of choice in the evaluation of PHVO, visualization of pannus is

Comparative diagnostic accuracy study of point of care ultrasound techniques for detection of left atrial enlargement by hospital medicine physicians from archived echocardiogram images

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Prior studies of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) interpretation methods for identifying LAE utilized older echocardiographic reference ranges. Objectives Compare the test characteristics of hospitalist‐performed POCUS techniques for identifying ...

Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Early Dapagliflozin and Melatonin Treatment Ameliorated LV Fibrosis via Suppressing TGF‐β1/Smads and Activating Nrf2‐ARE Signaling in MI Rodent

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study tested whether combined dapagliflozin (DAPA) and melatonin (Mel) therapy was superior to merely one for ameliorating the left ventricular (LV) fibrosis/remodeling and improving LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in rats after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In vitro study demonstrated that DAPA treatment significantly suppressed the TGF‐
