Assessment of left ventricular torsion in long axis view in patients with chronic stenosis of coronary arteries
Background: Left ventricular torsion is one of the most important biomechanical parameters of heart that routinely is measured in short axis view. A review of the literature has indicated that assessment of left ventricular torsion in short axis view has some limitations. In the present study, we evaluated whether torsion angle assessment in long axis view can be used as a diagnostic biomechan...
متن کاملUsefulness of transesophageal echocardiography in identifying small left ventricular apical thrombus.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether transesophageal echocardiography could clarify the nature of equivocal echodense structures in the left ventricular apical region frequently found on transthoracic echocardiography by directing the ultrasound beam from the left ventricular base to the apex and achieving better image quality. BACKGROUND Transthoracic echocardiography of...
متن کاملRegional wall motion abnormalities after prolonged exercise in the normal left ventricle.
To determine whether regional wall motion abnormalities exist or contribute to left ventricular dysfunction, we obtained two-dimensional echocardiograms in 12 athletes before (baseline), immediately after (race finish), and 1 day after (recovery) the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon (a 3.9-km swimming, 180.2-km bicycling, and 42.2-km running event). Left ventricular short-axis and apical four-chamber v...
متن کاملSex-related Left Ventricle Rotational and Torsional Mechanics by Block Matching Algorithm
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate how left ventricular twist and torsion are associated with sex between sex groups of the same age.Materials and Methods: In this analytical study, twenty one healthy subjects were scanned in left ventricle basal and apical short axis views to run the block matching algorithm; instantaneous changes in the base and apex rotation angel...
متن کاملTransthoracic echocardiography for the diagnosis of left ventricular thrombosis in the postoperative care unit
INTRODUCTION Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a reliable, noninvasive imaging method that is useful in the evaluation of cardiovascular thrombosis. We conducted a retrospective study of all the echocardiograms from patients in the postoperative care unit to assess the role of TTE in thrombus identification in the left ventricle. METHODS This retrospective database evaluation included a...
