Letter regarding article by Diwan et al, "Doppler estimation of left ventricular filling pressures in patients with mitral valve disease".
BACKGROUND Conventional Doppler measurements have limitations in the prediction of left atrial pressure (LAP) in patients with mitral valve disease (MVD), given the confounding effect of valve area, left ventricular (LV) relaxation, and stiffness. However, the time interval between the onset of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity (E) and annular early diastolic velocity (Ea) by tissue Dopple...
متن کاملEchocardiographic estimation of left ventricular filling pressures in patients with mitral valve stenosis
BACKGROUND Estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) among patients with mitral valve disease may help to explain their symptoms. However, conventional Doppler measurements have limitations in predicting LVEDP in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to construct a Doppler-derived LVEDP prediction model based on the combined analysis of transmitral and pulmonary ...
متن کاملLetter by Barison et al Regarding Article, "Familial Clustering of Mitral Valve Prolapse in the Community".
BACKGROUND Knowledge of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) inheritance is based on pedigree observation and M-mode echocardiography. The extent of familial clustering of MVP among unselected individuals in the community using current, more specific echocardiographic criteria is unknown. In addition, the importance of nondiagnostic MVP morphologies (NDMs; first described in large pedigrees) has not bee...
متن کاملLetter by Sheppard et al Regarding Article, "Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death".
To the Editor: We read with great interest the excellent article by Basso et al on arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden cardiac death in Circulation. The investigators reported a relatively high prevalence of MVP in individuals experiencing sudden death. Such deaths were more common in young women and were associated with myocardial fibrosis in the papillary muscles and the inferob...
متن کاملLetter by Dwivedi et al regarding article, "Left ventricular untwisting rate by speckle tracking echocardiography".
Ventricular Untwisting Rate by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography” To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Wang et al1 that compared left ventricular (LV) twist, twisting rate, and untwisting rate (UR) in subjects with LV systolic dysfunction and depressed ejection fraction (EF), subjects with diastolic dysfunction and normal EF, and 20 healthy subjects by speckle tracking echocardio...
