Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Left Ventricular Structure and Function
Background Obesity leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and death, including heart failure. Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective long‐term weight management treatment. This study investigated the changes in

Longitudinal Displacement for Left Ventricular Function Assessment
Background: Quantitative evaluation of myocardial function traditionally relies on parameters such as ejection fraction and strain. Strain, reflecting the relative change in the length of a myocardial segment over the cardiac cycle, has been extensively ...

Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic ...
