Changes in echocardiographic left ventricular minor axis dimensions during exercise in patients with aortic stenosis.
Twelve patients with aortic stenosis (gradient 62 (25) mm Hg), and six normal subjects were examined using M mode echocardiography before and during submaximal bicycle exercise. Normal subjects showed a progressive fall in the end systolic minor axis dimension of the left ventricle and a rise in end diastolic dimension, giving an increase in stroke dimension and shortening fraction of 45% and 3...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular torsion in long axis view in patients with chronic stenosis of coronary arteries
Background: Left ventricular torsion is one of the most important biomechanical parameters of heart that routinely is measured in short axis view. A review of the literature has indicated that assessment of left ventricular torsion in short axis view has some limitations. In the present study, we evaluated whether torsion angle assessment in long axis view can be used as a diagnostic biomechan...
متن کاملEchocardiographic left ventricular dimensions in pressure and volume overload. Their use in assessing aortic stenosis.
Left ventricular 'relative wall thickness', determined from the ratio between echocardiographic measurements of end-systolic wall thickness and cavity transverse dimension, was related to peak systolic intraventricular pressure in 15 normal subjects, in 15 patients with left ventricular volume or pressure overload without aortic stenosis, and in 23 patients with aortic stenosis. All these patie...
متن کاملEchocardiographic left ventricular functional changes in acute hypothyroidism vs. subclinical hyperthyroidism in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Introduction: In order to assess echocardiographic left ventricular functional indices in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), after L-T4 withdrawal (short-term overt hypothyroidism) and during TSH suppressive therapy, we have evaluated cardiac hemodynamics in a single cohort study. Methods: 24 patients with DTC were studied in two phases: 1: at least 4 weeks after L-T4 withd...
متن کاملAORTO-LEFT VENTRICULAR TUNNEL. A CASE REPORT WITH AORTIC PRESSURE AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC FINDINGS
A seven-year-old girl with clinical diagnosis of aortic insufficiency underwent echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation and referred for surgery with the same diagnosis. However, at surgery, aorto-Ieft ventricular tunnel was found and repaired successfully. Review of echocardiogram and catheterization data revealed interesting findings to differentiate this rare entity from congenital...
