BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both hemodynamics and aneurysm wall thickness are important parameters in aneurysm pathophysiology. Our aim was to develop a method for semi-quantitative wall thickness assessment on in vivo 7T MR images of intracranial aneurysms for studying the relation between apparent aneurysm wall thickness and wall shear stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wall thickness was analyzed in...

The objective was to study the clinical features of symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) depending on age onset and presence cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods materials. From 2014 2020, 250 patients were examined, 100 with HCM aged 18 86 years included in study. Results. incidence arterial hypertension (AH), obesity, angina syndrome significantly higher 45 older. associated obesity...

the present study attempted to compare the structural and functional changes of left heart ventricle in female basketball players of khuzestan superior league (aged between 18 and 29) during regular training and long-term detraining. out of 30 female players, 15 subjects were assigned randomly to regular training group and 15 subjects to long-term detraining group. the structural and functional...

The echocardiogram (June 5, 2001) revealed the following: diameters of the aorta and left atrium, 32 mm, and of the left ventricle (diastolic/systolic), 65/52 mm; ejection fraction (Simpson), 40%; septal and posterior wall thickness, 10 mm; right ventricle, 23 mm. In addition, there were indirect signs of pulmonary hypertension, estimated as 40 mmHg. The left ventricle showed diffuse hypokinesi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the transverse and longitudinal distensibility of the posterior human lumbar dura mater. Results are compared with previous literature on biomechanical property studies. Possible clinical implications were also examined. METHODS Samples of human dural sac were obtained from autopsy studies in three adult male cadavers. Dural sac samples w...

We herein describe a 34-year-old woman with a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) impinging on the posterior wall of the left atrium, subdivided by a membrane at the distal part of the impingement. In this patient, a much dilated coronary sinus due to the PLSVC resulted in a membrane-like structure in the posterior wall of the left atrium with the appearance of the cor triatriatum in tra...

We evaluated the association of insulin and echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) measurements in 1,388 (45% men) nondiabetic American Indian participants in the Strong Heart Study (SHS). Significant (all P < 0.05) relations were found in men and women between log(10) fasting insulin and LV mass (r = 0.24 and 0.26), left atrial diameter (r = 0.25 and 0.28), posterior wall thickness (r = 0.20 ...

OBJECTIVE To examine left ventricular function after surgical resection of subaortic stenosis during childhood. DESIGN Left ventricular performance was measured non-invasively in all patients who responded to an invitation for formal assessment. SETTING Outpatient study, tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS Twenty three (12 male and 11 female) patients (age range 3 to 31 years) of 43 consec...

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...
