doppler-derived myocardial performance index (mpi), defined as the sum of isovolumetric contraction and relaxation durations divided by ejection time, is an easily measured and reproducible index that shows both systolic and diastolic myocardial function. the goal of this study was to define normal values of right ventricular (rv) mpi in neonates in the first 48 to 72 hours of life. fifty-one q...

background: the right ventricular (rv) dyssynchrony has not been studied extensively and the existing literature has established the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) on the left ventricular (lv) dyssynchrony, but there is a dearth of data on the effect of crt on the forgotten ventricle . we sought to evaluate the presence of mechanical right ventricular dyssynchrony in patients...

Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of right ventricle (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (Inf MI) is very critical. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical findings of Inf MI with or without RV infarction. Methods: From September 2010 to September 2012, 195 patients with definite diagnosis of Inf MI were evaluated in the Department of Cardiology, in Babol, north of...

conclusions it seems that severe pah aggravates the rv function more severely. results significant tricuspid regurgitation was more prevalent in the pah group than in the ps group (61% vs. 18.5%; p < 0.001). the abnormalities in the rv myocardial performance index, rv areas, and rv fractional area change were significantly more robust in the pah group (all ps < 0.05) despite the higher net rv s...

objectives in this study, besides studying the rv function in ssc patients, attempts have been made to find a new possible noninvasive echocardiographic test for early diagnosis of systolic failure as a pah complication. methods 30 patients with at least a 2-year history of diffuse ssc confirmed by an expert rheumatologist were enrolled in this study. all the patients underwent transthoracic ec...

Objective: The present study aims atinvestigating the behavior of realized volatility for high-frequency data of Tehran Stock Index from April28th, 2012 to August 8th, 2018. Methods: Three different types of HAR models including of HAR-RV-CJ, HAR-RV and HAR-RVJ were used to analyze the Realized Volatility. Results: The obtained results of three diverse models revealed that the estimated Reali...
