were young (age, 15.1±3.2 years) and 54 were adults (age, 25.1±3.6 years). The findings were compared with those obtained from 22 young (age, 13.8±2.4 years) and 24 adult (age, 25.3±4.1 years) normal individuals. In both groups of patients, peak flow velocities in eariy (E) and late (A) diastole were higher than in the control subjects (young E: P<.01; adult E: P<.001; young A.. P<.05; adult A P<.05), whereas

LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION

In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...

Doppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz

Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...

بررسی اثر کاهش حجم بر روی پارامترهای دیاستولیک اکو کاردیوگرافی در بیماران همودیالیزی

Background: Cardiovascular problems including arterial hypertension, coronary artery diseases, congestive heart failure are prevalent among chronic hemodialyzed patients. Ultrafiltration of hemodialyzed patient's serum, which culminating in intravascular volume reduction, is frequently used during hemodialysis. One of the restrictions of the echocardiographic evaluation of the diastolic heart f...

Echocardiographic left ventricular functional changes in acute hypothyroidism vs. subclinical hyperthyroidism in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Introduction:  In order to assess echocardiographic left ventricular functional indices in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), after L-T4 withdrawal (short-term overt hypothyroidism) and during TSH suppressive therapy, we have evaluated cardiac hemodynamics in a single cohort study. Methods: 24 patients with DTC were studied in two phases: 1: at least 4 weeks after L-T4 withd...

Left ventricular filling in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a pulsed Doppler echocardiographic study.

Abnormal left ventricular diastolic properties have been described in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. To evaluate the diastolic filling characteristics of the left ventricle in patients with this disease, pulsed Doppler echocardiography was used to study mitral flow velocity in 17 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (11 with and 6 without systolic anterior motion of the mitral ...

The Effect of Bronchial Asthma on Interatrial Electromechanical Delay Coupling Obtained Using Tissue Doppler Imaging

Background: Asthma is a predisposing factor for the development of atrial fibrillation. Asthma disturbs the electrophysiology in the right and left atrium. The aim of this study was to evaluate atrial electromechanical delay by coupling obtained from tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 patients with Bronchial Asthma, compared with 50 hea...
