A comparison of cardiac motion analysis software packages: application to left ventricular deformation analysis in healthy subjects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Feature tracking (FT) software packages measure myocardial wall motion deformation parameters through the cardiac cycle. Myocardial tagging technique is currently considered the gold standard for myocardial deformation measurements. This study compares 2 FT-software packages with a tagging software package and investigates the differences in strain deformation parameters measured in healthy subjects.

A comparison of cardiac motion analysis software packages: application to left ventricular deformation analysis in hypertensive patients
Background Although myocardial function is clinically assessed with global measurements (ventricular volumes, ejection fraction), recent research has shown that regional measurements, such as wall-thickening, strain, and torsion, could provide earlier sub-clinical markers to examine left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and myocardial diseases. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance myocardial feature t...

متن کاملComparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...
