Noninvasive estimation of LV filling pressures in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: revisited and verified.
l i p D b p d a s m m a d c s w n fi t w c m a a t p o i e t m p c i n g Echocardiography plays a key role in the evaluation of patients presenting with congestive heart failure (CHF). This includes diagnosis, prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions. Aside from the important measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF), Doppler can be successfully applied to asses...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of increased LV filling pressures in LV hypertrophy with normal systolic function: Comparison between CMR and Doppler, validated by invasive PCWP measurements
Methods Sixteen patients with hypertensive heart disease (LV mass index: 111 ± 18 g/m), absence of valvular regurgitation and with normal systolic function (LV ejection fraction: 67 ± 7 %) referred for cardiac catheterization were studied. Measurement of mitral flow and mitral annulus velocities were performed by Doppler and phase-contrast CMR. CMR derived global longitudinal and global volumet...
متن کاملGenomic Scaffold Filling Revisited
The genomic scaffold filling problem has attracted a lot of attention recently. The problem is on filling an incomplete sequence (scaffold) I into I ′, with respect to a complete reference genome G, such that the number of adjacencies between G and I ′ is maximized. The problem is NP-complete and APX-hard, and admits a 1.2-approximation. However, the sequence input I is not quite practical and ...
متن کاملThermal description of hadron production in ee collisions revisited
The analysis of hadron yields measured in central heavy ion collisions from AGS up to RHIC energies has shown [1] that hadron multiplicities can be described very well with a hadro-chemical equilibrium approach. The natural question arising here is whether this statistical behavior is a unique feature of high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions or whether it is also applicable in elementary colli...
متن کاملBirthweight ratio revisited.
In order to test the hypothesis suggested in a recent report that the birthweight ratio might be a useful predictor of several important clinical outcome measures in babies of less than 31 weeks' gestation, we examined the association between the birthweight ratio and aspects of both short and long term outcome in 436 Leeds babies of less than 31 weeks' gestation. Unlike the report, and contrar...
