The reproducibility of heart Deformation Analysis for the evaluation of global cardiac function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Analysis of global cardiac function is important for cardiovascular risk estimation but can be time-consuming. Using deformable image registration (DIR) algorithms, Heart Deformation Analysis (HDA) is a recently developed method for measuring cardiac function and motion on existing cardiac cine MR images. With a totally automatic workflow, HDA has the potential to be useful in clinical practice. In this study, the inter-study reproducibility of Heart Deformation Analysis will be analyzed.

A System for Continuous Estimating and Monitoring Cardiac Output via Arterial Waveform Analysis
Background: Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Sev...
متن کاملEvaluation of Global Longitudinal Strain Pattern (GLS) and Echocardiographic Parameters in the Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients Before and After Surgery
Background and Objective: Obesity is one of the problems associated with cardiovascular complications. Patients' heart function improves after sleeve gastrectomy. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) is one of the methods used to monitor heart function before and after sleeve gastrectomy. In this study, we evaluated the echocardiographic parameters pre and post sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and M...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
