Reversible Changes of Left Atrial Function during Pregnancy Assessed by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
BACKGROUND Left ventricular diastolic function is impaired during pregnancy. However, changes in left atrial (LA) function remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate changes in LA function during pregnancy using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE). METHODS AND RESULTS 50 pregnant and 50 healthy nulliparous (control group) women were enrolled in this study. All pregnant women w...
متن کاملEvaluation of left atrial volume and function in systemic sclerosis patients using speckle tracking and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate left atrial (LA) volume and functions using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) and speckle tracking in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. METHODS The study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study. We studied 41 consecutive SSc patients (38 females, mean age: 49.5±11.6 years) and 38 healthy controls (35 fema...

متن کاملleft ventricular function after arterial switch operation as assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with simple transposition of the great arteries
background: the late postoperative course for children with transposition of the great arteries (tga) with an intact ventricular septum (ivs) is very important because the coronary arteries may be at risk of damage during arterial switch operation (aso). we sought to investigate left ventricular function in patients with tga/ivs by echocardiography. methods: from march 2011 to december 2012, t...
متن کاملSubclinical left ventricular dysfunction in Behcet's disease assessed by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the left ventricular (LV) systolic strain by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in order to provide the early detection of myocardial dysfunction in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). We also aimed to examine the relationship between LV systolic strain and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), which is a cardiac biomarker of ven...
