2 days ago · While most patients with HF have balanced LA/LV myopathy, those with predominant LA myopathy are characterized by older age, more AF, more diabetes, higher circulating biomarkers of cardiac stress and injury, and worse outcomes.

Providing a truly accessible forum for both authors and readers by encouraging opinion, debate and discussion, Cardiovascular Ultrasound is a ...

Aug 14, 2024 · Smoking predisposes individuals to endothelial dysfunction and eventually to arteriosclerosis; it is regarded as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1,2,3]. Therefore, smoking cessation remains the most crucial intervention in …

Aug 8, 2024 · From its inception as a two-dimensional snapshot of the beating heart, echocardiography has become an indelible part of cardiovascular diagnostics. The integration of ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) marks a pivotal transition, enhancing its diagnostic acumen beyond myocardial perfusion.

Nov 4, 2024 · In patients with PAF, TTE showed a larger LAVI (at rest and during exercise), reduced LASr (limited/absence of functional reserve during exercise), higher E wave velocity, and lower HRR, indicative of a reduced cardiac sympathetic reserve and …

Oct 13, 2023 · The left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTd) is a routinely performed measurement for all echocardiographic examinations and is essential when used together with the velocity time integral for deriving fundamental parameters for cardiac functionality such as stroke volume and cardiac output.

Dec 2, 2024 · In a retrospective analysis, we examined all patients diagnosed with severe degenerative MR who underwent evaluation for potential cardiac surgery using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram between May 2019 and July 2022 at …
