Myocardial Tissue Doppler Velocity in Child Growth
BACKGROUND In adults, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a recommended component of routine echocardiography. However, TDI velocities are less accepted in pediatrics, due to their strong variability and age dependence in children. This study examines the distribution of myocardial tissue Doppler velocities in healthy children to assess the effect of age with cardiac growth on the various echocardi...
متن کاملEchocardiographic characterization of cardiomyopathy in Friedreich's ataxia with tissue Doppler echocardiographically derived myocardial velocity gradients.
BACKGROUND Conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiographically derived myocardial velocity gradients (MVGs) were used to characterize the myocardium in patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), and the relationship between MVGs and the mutation in the FRDA gene, a GAA triplet repeat expansion, was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 29 patients with FRDA (10 men, mean age 31+/-9 ye...
متن کاملPre-ejection tissue-Doppler velocity changes during low dose dobutamine stress predict segmental myocardial viability.
INTRODUCTION We tested the hypothesis that low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE) combined with tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) can be used for the quantitative assessment of the content of viable myocardium. METHODS Forty-one patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < or =40%), already scheduled for revascularisation, underwent echoc...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricle Torsion by Tissue Doppler and Velocity Vector Imaging
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...
متن کاملDoppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz
Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...
