A case of unprovoked, precarious, patent foramen ovale protuberanceEcho Research and Practice - Tập 4 - Trang K17-K20 - 2017
H. Z. R. McConkey, M. Ghosh-Dastidar, S. R. Redwood, V. Bapat
This is a case of a precarious thrombotic mass straddling a patent foramen ovale
which had already embolised to the pulmonary circulation. The diagnosis was
initially deceptive and management challenging.
Excessive interatrial adiposity is associated with left atrial remodeling, augmented contractile performance in asymptomatic populationEcho Research and Practice - Tập 3 - Trang 5-15 - 2016
Yau-Huei Lai, Chun-Ho Yun, Cheng-Huang Su, Fei-Shih Yang, Hung-I Yeh, Charles Jia-Yin Hou, Tung-Hsin Wu, Ricardo C. Cury, Hiram G. Bezerra, Chung-Lieh Hung
Purpose: Pericardial adipose tissue had been shown to exert local effects on
adjacent cardiac structures. Data regarding the mechanistic link between such
measures and left atrial (LA) structural/functional remodeling, a clinical
hallmark of early stage heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF)
incidence, in asymptomatic population remain largely unexplored. Methods: This

A minimum dataset for a standard transoesophageal echocardiogram: a guideline protocol from the British Society of EchocardiographyEcho Research and Practice - Tập 2 - Trang G29-G45 - 2015

A systematic approach to transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is essential to
ensure that no pathology is missed during a study. In addition, a standardised
approach facilitates the education and training of operators and is helpful when
reviewing studies performed in other departments or by different operators. This
document produced by the British Society of Echocardiography aims to provide a... hiện toàn bộ
Transthoracic echocardiography of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in adults: a practical guideline from the British Society of EchocardiographyEcho Research and Practice - Tập 8 - Trang G61-G86 - 2021
Lauren Turvey, Daniel X. Augustine, Shaun Robinson, David Oxborough, Martin Stout, Nicola Smith, Allan Harkness, Lynne Williams, Richard P. Steeds, William Bradlow
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is common, inherited and characterised by
unexplained thickening of the myocardium. The British Society of
Echocardiography (BSE) has recently published a minimum dataset for
transthoracic echocardiography detailing the core views needed for a standard
echocardiogram. For patients with confirmed or suspected HCM, additional views
and measurements are necessary. Th... hiện toàn bộ
Prognostic value of resting myocardial contrast echocardiography: a meta-analysisEcho Research and Practice - - 2020
Qian Li, Feng Xie, Di Xu, Thomas R. Porter
Abstract Background: Resting myocardial perfusion (MP) and wall motion (WM)
imaging during real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) improves the
detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, its prognostic role in
different clinical settings (emergency department and outpatient setting)
remains unclear. Methods: A systematic search in PubMed and Embase databases,
and the Cochran... hiện toàn bộ
Acute myocarditis with normal wall motion detected with 2D speckle tracking echocardiographyEcho Research and Practice - Tập 3 - Trang K15-K19 - 2016
Thomas Sturmberger, Johannes Niel, Josef Aichinger, Christian Ebner
We present the case of a 26-year-old male with acute tonsillitis who was
referred for coronary angiography because of chest pain, elevated cardiac
biomarkers, and biphasic T waves. The patient had no cardiovascular risk
factors. Echocardiography showed no wall motion abnormalities and no pericardial
effusion. 2D speckle tracking revealed distinct decreased regional peak
longitudinal systolic strai... hiện toàn bộ
Anterior mitral valve aneurysm: a rare sequelae of aortic valve endocarditisEcho Research and Practice - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang K7-K13 - 2016
Rajesh Janardhanan, Muhammad Umar Kamal, Irbaz Bin Riaz, Melissa Smith
Summary In intravenous drug abusers, infective endocarditis usually involves
right-sided valves, with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common etiologic
agent. We present a patient who is an intravenous drug abuser with left-sided
(aortic valve) endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis who subsequently
developed an anterior mitral valve aneurysm, which is an exceedingly rare
complication. A... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of methodology and the use of allometric scaling on the echocardiographic assessment of the aortic root and arch: a study by the Research and Audit Sub-Committee of the British Society of EchocardiographyEcho Research and Practice - - 2014
David Oxborough, Saqib Ghani, Allan Harkness, Guy Lloyd, William E. Moody, Liam Ring, Julie Sandoval, Roxy Senior, Nabeel Sheikh, Martin Stout, Victor Utomi, James Willis, Abbas Zaidi, Richard P. Steeds
The aim of the study is to establish the impact of 2D echocardiographic methods
on absolute values for aortic root dimensions and to describe any allometric
relationship to body size. We adopted a nationwide cross-sectional prospective
multicentre design using images obtained from studies utilising control groups
or where specific normality was being assessed. A total of 248 participants were
