Left ventricular longitudinal global strain to predict severe coronary disease in patients with precordial pain suggestive of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
Background: Diagnosing non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) is not always straightforward. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is an echocardiographic m...
Noninvasive predictors of functional capacity in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease: A pilot echocardiography single-center study
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) with congenital heart disease (CHD) affects the functional capacity (FC), quality of life, and survival. However, the importance of different echocardi...
Diagnostic accuracy of carotid doppler ultrasound for the detection of right-to-left cardiac shunt
Background: Right-to-left cardiac shunt is a condition anatomically related to patent foramen ovale (PFO) and potentially related to cryptogenic cerebrovascular events. As recent studies demo...
Myocardial work: A modern tool to detect possible compensation mechanism of deformation in acute myocarditis with preserved left ventricular function
The architecture of the myocardial fibers defines the different components of left ventricular (LV) contraction. Subendocardial layers are primarily responsible for longitudinal LV deformation and s...
Utilization of the transgastric view of the left atrial appendange for procedural guidance during left atrial appendage clip via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation is procedure which isolates the LAA and can decrease the risk of thrombus and arrhythmias in patients with atrial fibrillation, allowing patients to come off hom...
