Atrial and ventricular kinetic energy is higher in athletes compared to healthy controls and contributes to improve diastolic filling of the ventricles

چکیده
Background The athlete’s heart is physiologically enlarged with an extraordinary ability to pump large volumes of blood at high heart rates. We hypothesized that efficient filling and emptying is related to the kinetic energy (KE) of intra-cardiac blood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate variations in KE in the four chambers of the heart over the cardiac cycle and compare endurance athletes to healthy controls.

Introduction:Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory condition affecting the lower airways among children. Asthma may influence right ventricular (RV) function and patients may develop right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. The main objective of this study is to determine RV dysfunction in asymptomatic asthmatic children as detected by ti...

متن کاملThe 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...
