Effects of postischemic regional left ventricular diastolic wall motion abnormalities or delayed relaxation following coronary vasospasm on global diastolic function.
BACKGROUND Regional left ventricular (LV) diastolic wall motion abnormalities detected by color kinesis (CK), an echocardiographic technique, may be a more sensitive measure to postischemic damage following coronary spasm than parameters of global diastolic function. METHODS AND RESULTS Regional LV diastolic wall motion was evaluated by using CK in 18 patients with variant angina on the day f...
متن کاملObjective evaluation of regional left ventricular wall motion during dobutamine stress echocardiographic studies using segmental analysis of color kinesis images.
OBJECTIVES To test the feasibility of objective and automated evaluation of echocardiographic stress tests, we studied the ability of segmental analysis of color kinesis (CK) images to detect dobutamine-induced wall motion abnormalities and compared this technique with inexperienced reviewers of conventional gray-scale images. BACKGROUND Conventional interpretation of stress echocardiographic...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of global and regional left ventricular diastolic function with color kinesis.
BACKGROUND Diastolic wall motion asynchrony is a major determinant of impaired left ventricular (LV) filling in patients with concentric hypertrophy and coronary artery disease. We evaluated the ability of Color Kinesis, a new echocardiographic technique that color-encodes endocardial motion, to quantitatively assess global and regional LV filling properties. METHODS AND RESULTS Color Kinesis...
متن کاملQuantification of regional left ventricular wall motion in newborns by color kinesis.
BACKGROUND Normal values for regional left ventricular wall motion, although documented in adults, have not been reported in healthy newborns. METHODS This study prospectively evaluated global and segmental systolic and diastolic cardiac function by color kinesis in clinically asymptomatic healthy newborns. RESULTS Eighty-eight asymptomatic infants who were less than 48 hours old were studi...
