Diaphragm assessment by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging in normal subjects
BACKGROUND Conventionally, ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragm contractility has involved measuring respiratory changes in diaphragm thickness (thickening fraction) using B-mode or caudal displacement with M-mode. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking has been increasingly used to assess muscle deformation ('strain') in echocardiography. We sought to determine in a pilot study if this technolog...
متن کاملEvaluation of carotid arterial elasticity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging
The objective is to evaluate carotid arterial elasticity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).Sixty-two hospitalized patients with OSAHS and 20 healthy subjects were studied. The OSAHS patients were divided into 3 subgroups: a mild group, a moderate group, and severe group. All subjects underwent complete left co...

متن کاملStrain assessment in the carotid artery wall using ultrasound speckle tracking: validation in a sheep model.
The aim of this study was to validate carotid artery strain assessment in-vivo using ultrasound speckle tracking. The left carotid artery of five sheep was exposed and sonomicrometry crystals were sutured onto the artery wall to obtain reference strain. Ultrasound imaging was performed at baseline and stress, followed by strain estimation using an in-house speckle tracking algorithm tuned for v...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular performance in heart transplant recipients by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging
To calculate left ventricular (LV) global performance values in heart transplant (HT) recipients by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) and to observe the changes in LV global performance over time after HT and investigate the correlated factors.The 30 HT patients were divided into 2 groups according to postoperative time: 1 month postoperatively (HT-1) group and 6 months postop...
