Inversion of Left Ventricular Axial Shortening: In Silico Proof of Concept for Treatment of HFpEF

Bioengineering
Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal function is mechanically coupled to the elasticity of the ascending aorta (AA). The pathophysiologic link between a stiff AA and reduced longitudinal strain and the subsequent deterioration in longitudinal LV systolic ...

Right ventricular reserve post mitral valve repair is associated with heart failure hospitalization

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Right ventricular impairment is a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation. However, the time course of right ventricular functional changes post-surgical mitral valve repair remains largely unknown. Herein,

Right Ventricular Strain: Clinical Application

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
For many decades assessment of right ventricular function has been a challenge, with several parameters available for use but none being reliable and accurate. The oldest and still the most widely used is tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)

Evaluation of right heart function changes in patients with pulmonary hypertension via two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging: a retrospective study

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Objective: To realize the changes in pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients’ right ventricular function.Methods: A total number of 74 patients with PH were included, and the parameters of standard echocardiographic were measured as well as the strain of ...

Myocardial Strain Measurements Obtained with Fast-Strain-Encoded Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for the Risk Prediction and Early Detection of Chemotherapy-Related Cardiotoxicity Compared to Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Diagnostics
Background: Breast and hematological cancer treatments, especially with anthracyclines, have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity (CTX).

Global longitudinal strain detects subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients and carriers

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2021
Background With the continuous improvement of the respiratory care of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, cardiac manifestations (heart failure and arrhythmias) become the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Right ventricular function assessment in single LAD lesion patients using strain and strain rate imaging

Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2016
Background: Strain and strain rate imaging is currently the most popular echocardiographic technique that reveals subclinical myocardial damage, and data are not available on this imaging method with regard to assessing right ventricular involvement in ...

Skewed Cytokine Responses Rather Than the Magnitude of the Cytokine Storm May Drive Cardiac Dysfunction in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Cardiac dysfunction is a prominent feature of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS‐C), yet the etiology is poorly understood. We determined whether dysfunction is global or regional, and whether it is associated with the cytokine

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...
