Cardiac Imaging to Evaluate Left Ventricular Diastolic Function.
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in clinical practice is generally diagnosed by imaging. Recognition of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has increased interest in the detection and evaluation of this condition and prompted an improved understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different imaging modalities for evaluating diastolic dysfunction. This review briefly provid...
متن کاملReference values for fetal tissue velocity imaging and a new approach to evaluate fetal myocardial function
OBJECTIVES Myocardial function can be evaluated using color-coded tissue velocity imaging (TVI) to analyze the longitudinal myocardial velocity profile, and by expressing the motion of the atrioventricular plane during a cardiac cycle as coordinated events in the cardiac state diagram (CSD). The objective of this study was to establish gestational age specific reference values for fetal TVI mea...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Outflow Tract Systolic Excursion and Fractional Shortening for the Assessment of Right Ventricular Function
Dear Sir, The report on “Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) systolic excursion (SE) and fractional shortening (FS)” is very interesting.[1] Allam et al. raised an interesting question, “Can these echocardiographic parameters be used for the assessment of right ventricular (RV) function?” Clinically, RV function assessment is useful for initial assessment, diagnosis, and follow-up of the pat...
متن کاملA novel cardiac magnetic resonance imaging technique to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Background The temporal and spatial resolution of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allows precise tracking of the left ventricle (LV) atrioventricular junction (AVJ) throughout the cardiac cycle. Similar to tissue Doppler imaging in echocardiography, AVJ motion assessed by CMR reflects diastolic LV function. A prior study by our group demonstrated significant differences in the displace...
متن کاملComparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...
