Dobutamine or adenosine stress test:This is for people unable to exercise. You’ll take a drug to make the heart respond as if you wereexercising. This way, the doctor can still determine if there are blockages in thearteries. Stressechocardiogram:Anechocardiogram(often called "echo") is a ...
Study results in patients with HFpEF and ID, however, have been inconsistent: ID was associated with lower peak oxygen consumption in three of four studies, with lower 6-min walking test distance in two of three studies and with lower quality of life in two studies [65]. Barandiarán ...
Results The morphology, anatomy and beating of X. tropicalis heart can be observed clearly using echocardiography Young X. tropicalis frogs (3 months old) were first applied to test whether the resolution of small animal echocardiograms is appropriate to clearly observe the morphology and anatomy of...
Measurement and analysis of vibration in the myocardium telescopic motion for novel echo-graphic diagnosis We have already developed a novel ultrasonic-based method, namely, the phased tracking method, to measure the rapid velocity in the heart wall by accuratel... Kanai,Hiroshi,Katsumata,... - ...
Results Patients The baseline clinical and echocardiographic data are shown in Table 1. The patients with HF had significantly higher prevalence rates of CAD, DM, ARBs or ACEIs usage, beta blocker usage, and a lower rate of CCBs usage. In addition, the HF patients had significantly higher ser...
These authors studied 52 heart transplant recipients who underwent comprehensive transthoracic echo evaluation with 2-dimensional Doppler and strain measurements, and identified the following cutoff values as reflective of PCWP: (1) average E/e′<7 indicates PCWP<15 mm Hg; (2) average E/e′>14 ...
validation-test split are illustrated in Fig.4. For the sake of reaching reliable conclusions, some cases were omitted due to: (i) diagnosis results (labels) were missing; (ii) ECG signals were not correctly recorded, with excessive noises (over 20% signal amplitude values exceeding 5 mV)...
Each patient underwent a handheld echo. RESULTS: BNP was correlated with ejection fraction, but not with diastolic dysfunction. The area under the receiver-operator characteristic was 0.77. Kappa statistics for reliability in interpreting handheld echoes was 1.0. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this study ...

Echo rejection score: new echocardiographic approach to diagnosis of heart transplant rejection☆Objective: The gold standard test in the diagnosis of heart transplant rejection is right ventricular (RV) myocardial biopsy, which is an invasive, time-consuming, expensive method. In an effort to find ...
