In all patients, massive MR occurred as a consequence of sudden extreme apical tenting of both leaflets with total lack of coaptation, despite normal EF and absence of detectable left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and despite absence of significant stenosis on coronary arteries. In all patients MR...
At baseline echocardiogram, end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were significantly higher in the volunteers with respect to Discussion In this study we showed that the behavior during echo-pacing of left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, and regional ventricular function in patients with syndrome...
To improve identification of athletes at high risk for ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular repolarization, the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (ECG), and the echocardiogram from 13 male athletes with symptomatic VT and without evidence of manifest cardiac disease were compared with data obtained ...
We analyzed normal echocardiograms from 634 children aged 1 day to 18 years, heart rate (HR) range of 50 to 194/min, and body surface area (BSA) range of 0.1 to 2.8 m 2. First we determined the effects of age, HR, and BSA on the S, E', and A' at the MV, VS, and TV ...
Ninety-eight patients with ChD and no other cardiac or systemic illness were underwent standard 12-lead ECG and Doppler echocardiogram (echo) examination. An investigator (blinded to the echo data) measured manually the QRS duration. LV dysfunction was defined by the presence of LV dilatation (LV...
546 individual patients with any type of AS on echocardiogram from 2003 through 2013 and categorized them into 5 cohorts: (1) mild AS, (2) moderate AS, (3) severe AS, (4) LFLGNEF AS (ejection fraction ≥55%), and (5) low-flow low-gradient low ejection fraction AS (LFLGLEF AS;...
Conclusions: A normal echocardiogram does not preclude myocardial lesions in diffuse SSc patients, which can be detected by CMR especially in symptomatic patients.
