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 ...

Assessments of Right Ventricular Volume and Function Using Three-Dimensional Echocardiography in Older Children and Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: Comparison With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

, 2009
Background The utility of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) for right ventricular (RV) assessment is uncertain in older children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), in whom the right ventricle is often dilated and dysfunction is common.

Current clinical applications of transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography [PDF]

, 2012
The advent of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) has significantly improved the impact of non-invasive imaging on our understanding and management of cardiac diseases in clinical practice.

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.

A Case of Venous Tissue Dissection During Transcatheter MitraClip Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The MitraClip system has been widely used to treat mitral regurgitation. The complications associated with MitraClip surgery typically include clip detachment and mitral valve injury. However, cases of venous tissue dissection during surgery are relatively rare.

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 ...

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.

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.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Might Complement Two-Dimensional Echocardiography in the Detection of a Reversible Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

, 2015
We report a case of reversible nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy in a male in his 60s who presented with an acute heart failure syndrome. Both conventional two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) demonstrated ...

Echocardiography‐Assisted Stenting of the Ductus Venosus in Infracardiac TAPVC: Report of a New Technique and Review of the Literature

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonates with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) frequently require urgent treatment. If surgical repair is contraindicated due to extreme prematurity, interventional stenting of the ductus venosus (DV) has been introduced successfully to postpone surgery.
