Left ventricular strain and strain rate by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.
AIM Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is an asymptomatic condition defined by increased serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with normal free thyroid hormone levels. Heart is a major target organ for thyroid hormone action. The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac functions in patients with SH by speckle tracking imaging. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 23 consecutive patients with unt...
متن کاملSubclinical Right Ventricular Dysfunction by Strain Analysis
The peculiar shape of the right ventricle (RV), its position within the chest, and the thinness of its free wall have always represented a formidable challenge for the assessment of RV size and function by conventional 2-dimensional echocardiography. Over time, a large number of 2D echocardiography and Doppler parameters have been proposed to describe RV geometry and function. However, most of ...
متن کاملFatty Heart and Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Fatty degeneration of the human heart was first reported by the French cardiologist Corvisart more 200 years ago in 1806, while the first distinction of epicardial/pericardial fat from intramyocardial fat was made by the German physician scientist Virchow in 1858. Interest in these observations and their cardiovascular consequences continue to grow as techniques for noninvasive assessment of pe...
متن کاملSubclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with severe aortic stenosis: A speckle-tracking echocardiography study.
OBJECTIVE In patients with aortic stenosis (AS), the left ventricular (LV) geometry changes due to the increased LV afterload. However, subclinical myocardial dysfunction can develop despite a normal LV ejection fraction (EF). This study was an investigation of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in patients with severe AS with a normal LV EF using a strain imaging method, speckle-tracking echo...
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...
