No significant abnormalities were noted in the echocardiograms of the patients; however, 10 out of 132 (7.5%) patients presented a positive bubble echo. Enlarged left atria were found in 24 (13.1%) patients. Conclusion: The overall diagnostic yield of the abnormalities from...
Conversely, in the current study, strong flow dephasing artifacts were present as demonstrated by Additional file 1. To reduce these artifacts, an ultrashort echo time GRE approach may be useful, but would likely require the continued use of contrast agents due to the poor blood to myocardium ...
An echo exam was performed the day before the euthanasia at 3, 12 and 24 months. Detailed echo data are described inTables 1and2. In males, as illustrated inFigure 2E, end-diastolic interventricular septum (IVSd) thickness was markedly increased in adults compared to younger animals (+20%) ...
This study characterizes the flow in the aortic root of a pig with severe myocardial ischemia using contrast-enhanced ultrasound particle image/tracking velocimetry (echo-PIV/PTV). New methods for data preprocessing are introduced, including autocontouring to remove surrounding tissues, followed by ...
No significant abnormalities were noted in the echocardiograms of the patients; however, 10 out of 132 (7.5%) patients presented a positive bubble echo. Enlarged left atria were found in 24 (13.1%) patients. Conclusion: The overall diagnostic yield of the abnormalities from routine cardiac ...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a specific type of cardiomyopathy. In DCM, glucose uptake and utilization are impaired due to insulin deficiency or resistance, and the heart relies more heavily on fatty acid oxidation for energy, resulting in myocardial lipid
The current study is the first to report on the development of a theranostic E2-loaded droplet-to-bubble nanoprobe for cardiac-targeted imaging and treatment. Three main factors may explain the synergistic mechanism through which PCM-E2/PFPs + LIFU irradiation affects cardiac hypertrophy. First...
Cardiopoietic stem cells have reached advanced clinical testing for ischemic heart failure. To profile their molecular influence on recipient hearts, systems proteomics was here applied in a chronic model of infarction randomized with and without human c

Currently, with a sensitivity in excess of 98%, thoracic CT is the 'gold standard' for detecting PAVMs but involves a significant radiation exposure.1 Hence screening tools without a radiation burden such as oxygen shunt studies or cardiac bubble echo (CBE) are often considered as first line ...
