This work is to make a complete study echo cardiographic, including LVEF biplane Simpson method, calculation of left ventricular mass indexed and relative parietal thickness, analysis diastolic function and the study of longitudinal strain of the LV by the speckle tracking technique (calculation of ...
CMR provides optimal measurements of LV volume, wall thickness, and mass and is more reproducible than 2D echocardiography (23). CMR provides accurate measurements to guide critical clinical decisions based on LVEF in patient groups such as those with implantable defibrillators, those receiving cardio...
A complete cardiographic echo study was performed in both subgroups, including LVEF by Simpson biplane method, calculation of indexed left ventricular mass and parietal relative thickness, analysis of diastolic function and finally study of longitudinal LV deformation by speckle tracking technique.Results:...
All patients underwent standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) acquisitions. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured using the Simpson biplane method in the apical 4-chamber and 2-chamber views [10]. The right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic diameter and the right atrial (RA) en...
Determining a patient’s LVEF is essential in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Specifically, while levels of NT-proBNP are typically elevated among patients with HFrEF, they are often in the normal range among patients with HFpEF, thus making the diagnosis of these latter patients ...
