Normal values for left and right ventricular geometry in childhood were evaluated from two-dimensional echocardiograms using a specially-designed computer program package. Based on the normal values for ventricular cross-sectional areas, ventricular volumes were calculated applying the algorithm of "sphere...
Local normal reference range for the LVEF was observed to be mostly similar to the ASE reference ranges for both genders. Conclusion: Comparing our results with internationally recognized ASE recommended values, it becomes evident that our population especially males have small LV dimensions and ...
Normal echocardiograms of 121 women (97 pregnant, 24 non-pregnant controls) without evidence of cardiovascular disease were examined from the Montefiore Heart and Vascular Center's urban and multiracial patient database. Linear, area, and Doppler flow measurements of the entire heart were recorded. ...
The aims of this study were to define all waves in the SCG that are common among normal subjects, to define the fiducial points related to those waves, and to relate fiducial points and intervals between fiducial points to events in the cardiac cycle as observed in echocardiograms of the sam...
Upper and lower whiskers mark minimum and maximum values with the range Q1-1.5(Q3-Q1) to Q3+1.5(Q3-Q1). Outliers are marked with an X. MPA- main pulmonary artery, DAo- descending aorta, DA- ductus arteriosus, AAo- ascending aorta, SVC- superior vena cava, UV- umbilical vein, PBF- ...
Statistical analyses Continuous data are expressed as mean (SD), with median and 15th and 85th percentile values (comparable to 1 SD). Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze group differences for the continuous data. Categorical data are displayed as frequencies and percentages, and comparisons...
Describe the effect that an inhaler medication has, on an asthmatic patient. Do all the spirogram values return to "normal?" Why do you think some values do not return all the way to normal? How well What are the diagnoses of adrenal insufficiency?
In summary, this work provides great value for its delineation of normal aortic morphology, establishing evidence-based normal values for the different aortic segments, and adding substantiation to current understandings of association of aneurysms with other conditions. The authors’ findings suggest that...
The aim of this study was to define normal values for tissue Doppler derived atrial strain measurements and examine age related changes by decade. Methods: Transthoracic echocardiograms were performed on 188 normal subjects; age ranged from 20 to 80 years. Tissue Doppler derived strain and strain ...
Subjects underwent M-mode and 2D echocardiogram with color Doppler study. Reference values were derived for end-diastolic and end-systolic left ventricular internal dimensions, left ventricular wall thickness, left atrial dimension, aorta, LV mass. Measurements were described by mean, standard deviation...
