Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.

Echocardiographic evaluation of velocity ratio, velocity time integral ratio, and pulmonary valve area in dogs with pulmonary valve stenosis. [PDF]
BackgroundVelocity ratio, velocity time integral (VTI) ratio, and pulmonary valve area indexed to body surface area (iPVA) are methods of assessment of pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) severity that are less dependent on blood flow. Studies evaluating these

Abnormal ECG Findings in Athletes: Clinical Evaluation and Considerations. [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Pre-participation cardiovascular evaluation with electrocardiography is normal practice for most sporting bodies. Awareness about sudden cardiac death in athletes and recognizing how screening can help identify vulnerable athletes have

Abstract Background Bodyweight, age and breed influence the echocardiographic assessment of foals. There are no echocardiographic studies in Standardbred neonatal foals. Objectives To describe echocardiographic values for selected variables, evaluate intra‐ and inter‐observer variability and assess cardiac changes in the first 5 days of life in healthy

Quantitative MRI Values for Atrial and Ventricular Parameters in Altitude‐Dwelling Youth
ABSTRACT Background The hypoxic environment on the Qinghai Plateau significantly exacerbates myocardial remodeling, with sex/ethnicity‐specific variations in cardiac parameters among local youth. Current cardiac MRI reference values lack data from physiologically adapted populations on this plateau.

ABSTRACT Background A detailed evaluation of hemodynamics, supportive morphology, and deformation may help uncover the pathophysiology of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and the changes wrought by alcohol septal ablation (ASA). Purpose To investigate the global cardiac volume, myocardial deformation, and hemodynamic characteristics ...
