Excessive Trabeculations and Prognosis

Reversible Left Ventricular Trabeculations in Pregnancy: Is This Sufficient to Make the Diagnosis of Left Ventricular Noncompaction? Running title: Reimold; Pregnancy and Trabeculations

Echocardiographic recognition and implications of ventricular hypertrophic trabeculations and aberrant bands.

The accuracy of two-dimensional echocardiography in the recognition of aberrant ventricular bands and pathologic trabeculations (hypertrophic, fibrotic, or both) was assessed in 35 patients who underwent cardiac transplantation and pathologic examination. At pathologic study the prevalence of specific intracavitary structures ranged from 28% to 43%. Left ventricular thrombi were found in 12 pat...

Impact of left ventricular trabeculations and papillary muscles on measures of cavity volume and ejection fraction

Methods Contiguous 10-mm thick cine CMR images encompassing the left ventricle in the short-axis orientation (SSFP: TR/TE/FA=3.2ms/1.6ms/60°, 208x256 matrix, 400-mm FOV; 1.5-T scanner, Philips Healthcare, Best, the Netherlands) from 1494 adults (aged 64±9 yrs, 795 women) in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort were analyzed using semi-automated epiand endocardial LV border detection to d...

Price Coherence and Excessive Intermediation

Suppose an intermediary provides a benefit to buyers when they purchase from sellers using the intermediary’s technology. We develop a model to show that the intermediary would want to restrict sellers from charging buyers more for transactions it intermediates. With this restriction an intermediary can profitably raise demand for its services by eliminating any extra price buyers face for purc...
