Rational and design of EuroCRT: an international observational study on multi-modality imaging and cardiac resynchronization therapy
(2017)
Aims Assessment of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF) with cardiac imaging is important in the selection of patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Several observational studies have ...
Multimodality Imaging in Restrictive Cardiomyopathies: An EACVI expert consensus document In collaboration with the "Working Group on myocardial and pericardial diseases" of the European Society of Cardiology Endorsed by The Indian Academy of Echocardiography
(2017)
Restrictive cardiomyopathies (RCMs) are a diverse group of myocardial diseases with a wide range of aetiologies, including familial, genetic and acquired diseases and ranging from very rare to relatively frequent cardiac ...
Rationale and design of the EACVI AFib Echo Europe Registry for assessing relationships of echocardiographic parameters with clinical thrombo-embolic and bleeding risk profile in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
(2018)
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for management of atrial fibrillation (AF) recommend the use of CHA(2)DS(2)VASc risk score for assessment of thromboembolic (TE) risk, whereas the stratification of ...
Evaluation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients with Strain Echocardiography
(2015)
Objectives: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by several metabolic abnormalities that may lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, and atherosclerosis which are associated with chronic inflammatory processes ...
The effect of cold stress on right ventricular function in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2018)
Objective: Pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure are poor prognostic factors in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The effect of cold stress on pulmonary vasospasm was evaluated in some trials but the results were conflicting. ...
Association Between Mitral Valve Prolapse, Migraine, and White Matter Hyperintensities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(2018)
Objective: Migraine is linked with an elevation in vascular risk factors, ischemic stroke, and a variety of constitutional brain lesions. However, the pathogenesis of this relationship is still inexplicit. The link between ...
Evaluation of right ventricular function in operated tetralogy of Fallot patients with tissue Doppler imaging before and after pulmonary valve replacement
(2018)
Background: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of tissue Doppler echocardiography for the diagnosis of right ventricular dysfunction and for the evaluation of the response to pulmonary valve replacement.
Methods: ...
Subclinical myocardial dysfunction in liver transplant candidates determined using speckle-tracking imaging
(2019)
Objective: There are various cardiovascular abnormalities in end-stage liver disease (ESLD). In these patients, left ventricular (LV) systolic function is normal at rest but deteriorates during stress. This deterioration ...
