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

Chronic Left Ventricular Pacing Preserves Left Ventricular Function in Children [PDF]

Pediatric Cardiology, 2008
Chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing can induce structural and functional cardiac deterioration. Because animal studies showed a benefit of left ventricular (LV) over RV pacing, this study compared the effects of chronic RV and LV pacing in children. Retrospectively, echocardiographic data were evaluated from 18 healthy children (control subjects) and

Relation of atrial natriuretic peptides to left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in heart failure [PDF]

, 2000
Background: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides are correlated with atrial pressures, as are left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular filling abnormalities. Aims: This study investigated the relation of atrial natriuretic

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...
