Differentiation between mild and severe myocarditis using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
The pathophysiology of myocarditis is associated with mild inflammation and may progress silently, or in severe cases such as fulminant myocarditis, may lead to sudden hemodynamic compromise.

Clinical Value of Complex Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Classification Based on Concentricity, Mass, and Volume Quantification

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Echocardiography is the most validated, non-invasive and used approach to assess left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Alternative methods, specifically magnetic resonance imaging, provide high cost and practical challenges in large scale clinical ...

Right ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with heart failure

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2023
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health issue in super aging societies, such as Japan. Right HF is common in older patients. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between right ventricular diastolic function

Left ventricular systolic function evaluated by strain echocardiography and relationship with mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2018
Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes, but traditional measurements of systolic function such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) do not directly correlate with prognosis.
