Reference values from M-mode and Doppler echocardiography for normal Syrian hamsters.
AIMS Echocardiography has recently been introduced to small animal research, allowing serial measurements of cardiac diseases. In addition, the hamster model has been increasingly used, as it mimics many human heart conditions. However, no reference range of echocardiographic values reflecting normal left ventricular (LV) function exists for hamsters. The purpose of this study was to provide on...
متن کاملComparison between M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis
Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for...
متن کاملNormal Reference Values for Doppler Echocardiography: Influences of Ageing, Gender and Ethnicity
Echocardiography is now considered a standard diagnostic tool that enables the noninvasive quantification of cardiac chamber size, ventricular mass, and systolic function in various clinical situations. Technological progress in Doppler echocardiography has enabled the provision of hemodynamic information and the assessment of valvular heart disease and ventricular diastolic function. When inte...
متن کاملCardiac time intervals by tissue Doppler imaging M-mode echocardiography: reproducibility, reference values, association with clinical characteristics and prognostic implications.
BACKGROUND The preservation of normal cardiac time intervals is intimately related to normal cardiac physiology and function. In the ailing myocardium, the cardiac time intervals will change during disease progression. As left ventricular (LV) systolic function deteriorates, the time it takes for myocardial myocytes to achieve an LV pressure equal to that of aorta increases, resulting in a prol...
متن کاملCorrelation between velocity measurements from Doppler echocardiography and from M-mode contrast echocardiography.
The slope of an individual contrast trajectory on M-mode contrast echocardiography represents a physiological variable similar to that measured by Doppler echocardiography: the projection of the intracardiac velocity vector in the direction of the sound beam. To test the hypothesis that M-mode contrast echocardiography slope measurement can yield information quantitatively similar to Doppler me...
