Inclusion criteria were normal tissue leaflets appearance and normal functioning valve in the presence of normal echocardiogram. Echocardiographic data, patients hemodynamics, and size were collected. AVA was measured with both planimetry and the continuity equation. Results: Fifty BAV and 50 control ...
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...
These results show that there is a narrow range in normal values for L M and LAD and there is a stable ratio between these two chamber diameters. Alterations in the ratio from the normal range on echogram may suggest pathology, even though the individual chamber diameters are within their ...
The aim of this study was to determine the range of normal LVEDV values in infants and young children (aged 0–3 years) by the subxiphoid bullet method. Methods Echocardiograms from 100 normal subjects aged ≤3 years were retrospectively analyzed. Subjects with systemic disease, abnormal body ...
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. ...
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...
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 ...
The lowest difference between A-wave-onset and AS in the echocardiograms and any fiducial point in the SCG was found for point Bswith a mean difference of −2 ms (±16 ms). The correlation between the SCG fiducial point and the ultrasound image time location is 0.75 with p < ...
Our secondary aim was to see if those normal values could accurately predict RV dilatation in patients with moderate to large ASDs. It is important to create age-related normal values for children because pediatric cardiologists, unlike their adult colleagues, need to have measurements indexed to ...
Cardiac procedure use was greater in the participants with abnormal EF, with this group accounting for more echocardiograms (P = .02), left heart catheterizations (P = .05), and right heart catheterizations (P = .01) (Table 2). In the incident cohort, the cumulative 5-year costs were...
