Function and mechanics of the left ventricle: from tissue Doppler imaging to three dimensional speckle tracking.
One of the most common indications in echocardiography is the evaluation of left ventricular function. The traditional measurement of ejection fraction is based upon tracing the left ventricular borders and calculating left ventricular volumes using geometric assumptions. Now, with the introduction of three-dimensional echocardiography, the evaluation of left ventricular function is easier to c...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of the Right Ventricle, from the Conventional Approach to Speckle Tracking and Three-Dimensional Imaging, and Insights into the “Right Way” to Explore the Forgotten Chamber
BACKGROUND The right ventricle (RV) has an essential function in cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Currently, it is gaining an increasing interest given its recognized role in many cardiovascular conditions. However, echocardiographic assessment of the RV in daily practice is frequently based on qualitative estimation, and it has been regarded as a neglected chamber. OBJECTIVE We sough...
متن کاملThree-dimensional systolic kinematics of the right ventricle.
The right ventricle (RV) of the heart is responsible for pumping blood to the lungs. Its kinematics are not as well understood as that of the left ventricle (LV) due to its thin wall and asymmetric geometry. In this study, the combination of tagged MRI and three-dimensional (3-D) image-processing techniques was used to reconstruct 3-D RV-LV motion and deformation. The reconstructed models were ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of right ventricle adaptation to endurance training in young rowers – speckle tracking echocardiography
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the degree of cardiorespiratory fitness and the function of the right ventricle (RV). 117 rowers, age 17.5±1.5 years. All subjects underwent cardiopulmonary exercise. Standard echocardiography and 2D speckle tracking echocardiography with evaluation of longitudinal strain in each segment of the RV (basal - RVLS-B; mid - RVLS-M, api...
متن کاملEffect of positive end-expiratory pressure on porcine right ventricle function assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography
BACKGROUND Right ventricle (RV) dysfunction and hypotension can be induced by high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). We sought to determine in an animal model if a novel ultrasound analysis technique: speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), could determine deterioration in RV function induced by PEEP and to compare this to a conventional method of RV analysis: fractional area ...
