Echocardiographic evaluation of right ventricular function and its role in the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with structural and mechanical changes in the pulmonary vascular bed that increase right ventricular (RV) afterload and ...
Detection of functionally significant coronary artery disease: Role of regional post systolic shortening
Background: The main goal of this manuscript was to evaluate the diagnostic value of the global and regional postsystolic shortening (PSS) parameters, assessed by two-dimensional (2D) speckle...
Value of speckle tracking echocardiography for early detection of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Background: Cardiac dysfunction due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be subclinical, but those patients are at high risk for developing clinical heart failure. Aim: The aim of...
Analysis of regional right ventricular function by tissue doppler imaging and three-dimensional echocardiography in highly trained athletes
Background: Regional right ventricular (RV) function has not yet been characterized in highly trained athletes, and the effects of increased RV volumes on resting changes of regional RV defor...
Severe aortic valve stenosis: Symptoms, biochemical markers, and global longitudinal strain
Background: According to the actual guidelines regarding severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), symptoms are the most important trigger for aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, the objective ...
