An unusual case of left ventricular aneurysm in duchenne muscular dystrophyCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 8 - Trang 1-2 - 2010
Xiaozhou Du, Matthew Zeglinski, Nasir Shaikh, Davinder S Jassal
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to structural heart disease, including dilated cardiomyopathy, in 90% of patients >18 years of age. Despite the ubiquity of cardiomyopathy associated with DMD, ventricular aneurysms in these patients have rarely been reported. We present a case of a basal inferoposterior aneurysm of the left ventricle in a 23-year-old male patient with DMD.
Low cardiac output as physiological phenomenon in hibernating, free-ranging Scandinavian brown bears (Ursus arctos) – an observational studyCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 12 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
Peter Godsk Jørgensen, Jon Arnemo, Jon E Swenson, Jan S Jensen, Søren Galatius, Ole Frøbert
Despite 5-7 months of physical inactivity during hibernation, brown bears (Ursus arctos) are able to cope with physiological conditions that would be detrimental to humans. During hibernation, the tissue metabolic demands fall to 25% of the active state. Our objective was to assess cardiac function associated with metabolic depression in the hibernating vs. active states in free-ranging Scandinavi...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of Intravascular Ultrasound in the management of spontaneous coronary artery dissectionCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 6 - Trang 1-7 - 2008
Jayanth R Arnold, Nick EJ West, William J van Gaal, Theodoros D Karamitsos, Adrian P Banning
Primary or spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an unusual but increasingly recognized cause of acute myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. Typically, SCAD presents in younger patients without conventional risk factors for coronary artery disease. It occurs more commonly in women than in men, and frequently during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Its pathophysiology is poorl...... hiện toàn bộ
Exercise training does not improve myocardial diastolic tissue velocities in Type 2 diabetesCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 5 - Trang 1-8 - 2007
Antti Loimaala, Kaj Groundstroem, Marjo Rinne, Arja Nenonen, Heini Huhtala, Ilkka Vuori
Myocardial diastolic tissue velocities are reduced already in newly onset Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Poor disease control may lead to left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and heart failure. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of exercise training on myocardial diastolic function in T2D patients without ischemic heart disease. 48 men (52.3 ± 5.6 yrs) with T2D were randomized ...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of intraventricular flow by multimodality imaging: a review and meta-analysisCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 19 - Trang 1-11 - 2021
Ferit Onur Mutluer, Nikki van der Velde, Jason Voorneveld, Johan G. Bosch, Jolien W. Roos-Hesselink, Rob J. van der Geest, Alexander Hirsch, Annemien van den Bosch
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate current inter-modality agreement of noninvasive clinical intraventricular flow (IVF) assessment with 3 emerging imaging modalities: echocardiographic particle image velocimetry (EPIV), vector flow mapping (VFM), and 4-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow CMR). We performed a systematic literature review in the databas...... hiện toàn bộ
Ultrasound imaging versus morphopathology in cardiovascular diseases. Coronary atherosclerotic plaqueCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 2 - Trang 1-10 - 2004
Giorgio Baroldi, Riccardo Bigi, Lauro Cortigiani
This review article is aimed at comparing the results of histopathological and clinical imaging studies to assess coronary atherosclerotic plaques in humans. In particular, the gap between the two techniques and its effect on the understanding of the pathophysiological basis of coronary artery disease is critically discussed.
Variable exposure to echocardiography core competencies when applying minimum recommended procedural numbers for cardiology fellows in trainingCardiovascular Ultrasound - Tập 20 - Trang 1-9 - 2022
Matthew J. Bierowski, Umer Qureshi, Shayann Ramedani, Simran Grewal, Ravi Shah, Robert Park, Brandon R. Peterson
The American College of Cardiology Core Cardiovascular Training Statement (COCATS) defined echocardiography core competencies and set the minimum recommend number of echocardiograms to perform (150) and interpret (300) for independent practice in echocardiography (level 2 training). Fellows may lack exposure to key pathologies that are relatively infrequent, however, even when achieving an adequat...... hiện toàn bộ
