Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of left ventricular systolic function indices and structure in detecting early systolic dysfunction assessed by speckle-tracking two-dimensional strain: An echocardiographic cross-sectional study

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018
Background: Reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an early marker of subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, permitting timely interventions to slow disease progression.

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 ...

Two-dimensional echocardiography in endomyocardial disease [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1983
Summary To assess the usefulness of two-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of endomyocardial disease, 7 subjects with this disorder, proved by angiography or necropsy, were studied. Typical echographic findings included apical obliteration of either one or both ventricles by an echogenic mass with preserved systolic inwards ...

Vascular Abnormalities in Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS), while generally free from severe vascular complications, may occasionally present with cardiac and vascular abnormalities that warrant specific investigation. While studies have been conducted on the prevalence of cardiac involvement, none have focused on vascular aspects. This retrospective study was

Co‐Occurring Non‐Cardiac Congenital Anomalies Among Cases With Congenital Heart Defects

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cases with congenital heart defects (CHD) often have other associated anomalies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the prevalence and the types of co‐occurring anomalies in CHD in a well‐defined population. The anomalies co‐occurring with CHD were ascertained in all live births, stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal ...

Analysis of energy expenditure and behavioral characteristics in different mouse strains under normal and disease conditions

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Mouse metabolic and behavioral phenotypes are tightly linked to strain, age and disease state, with distinct dysregulation in each disease model, underscoring the need for standardized preclinical experimental conditions. Abstract Background Metabolic and behavioral traits in mice exhibit substantial variability across strains, ages, and disease states,

TWEAK/Fn14 Signaling Drives Oxidative Cardiac Injury in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Evidence From Patient Biomarker Studies, Lupus Mouse Models, and Cardiomyocyte Assays

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Tumor necrosis factor–like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is elevated in SLE, but its contribution to lupus‐associated cardiac injury is unclear. We investigated the role of TWEAK/fibroblast growth factor–inducible 14 (Fn14) signaling in SLE‐related ...

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic findings of congenital coronary artery fistula

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1992
Three patients with coronary artery fistula confirmed by coronary angiography and surgery were studied using two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography. Two of these patients had left coronary artery-right ventricle fistula.

Use of speckle-tracking strain in preload-dependent patients, need for cautious interpretation!

Annals of Intensive Care, 2018
Background In critical patients, left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening are used to reflect left ventricular systolic function. An emerging technique, two-dimensional-strain echocardiography, allows assessment of the left ventricle ...
