This study aims to describe left atrial (LA) and left ventricular strain in patients with MINOCA and evaluate their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in “true MINOCA” ...

Additionally, end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness (IVSd), LV end-diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWd), LV end-diastolic internal diameter ... The pulsed-tissue Doppler technique was ...

Ventricular functional MR was defined as secondary MR caused by the mitral leaflet tethering due to dilated left ventricle with LV systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction ≤50%). 20, 21 The ...

Electrocardiography (EKG or ECG) is a form of diagnostic testing used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over time via electrodes placed on the skin of the chest. The method can ...

There were significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (69 ... Contraction delay in the septal wall was marked in HF-RV (273 ± 123 vs 151 ±69 ms; P = 0.0004).

Echocardiography, in addition to estimating LVM accurately, also provides information regarding LV geometry, regional wall motion, systolic function, diastolic function and valvular anatomy and ...

Purpose: To analyze the effect of the physiological deformation of the vessel wall on the hemodynamics in the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), this paper compared the hemodynamics in AAA based on the ...

A total of 198 consecutive patients with a clinically stable heart, angiographically proven chronic coronary artery disease, a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ... to the method of the ...
