Three-dimensional systolic kinematics of the right ventricle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 used to quantify the 3-D global and local deformation of the ventricles in a set of normal subjects. When compared with the LV, the RV exhibited a similar twisting pattern, a more longitudinal strain pattern, and a greater amount of displacement.

Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography to Assess Right Ventricle Function in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND The convenience and availability of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) makes it an attractive candidate for assessing right ventricle function. However, the viability of RT3DE is not conclusive. AIM OF STUDY This study aims to evaluate RT3DE relative to cardiac magnetic resonance and 2-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) for measuring right ventricular systolic fun...

Introduction: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common knee injuries that accounted for between 25-40% of all knee problems presenting to sports medicine centers. Two treatment methods of bracing and taping are recommended in these patients that their effectiveness are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the two treatment methods on knee three-dim...

Objective: Attention can be paid to the biomechanical characteristics of running since the speed of running varies. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of increasing running speed on the three-dimensional kinematics of the lower limb’ joints in the stance phase. Methods: The research was quasi-experimental. 27 volunteer subjects ran on a treadmill and the kinematic and ...
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...

A 9-day-old neonate weighing 3 kg was referred to our institution for cyanosis and a systolic murmur. A 2-dimensional echocardiogram suggested SDL, levocardia, criss-cross heart with double-outlet right ventricle, hypoplasia of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle, and severe pulmonary stenosis. A real-time 3-dimensional echocardiogram (Sonos 7500, Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Mass) dem...
