Assessing pre-clinical ventricular dysfunction in obese children and adolescents: the value of speckle tracking imaging 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Aims Obesity has become a major health problem worldwide. Cardiovascular abnormalities have been described not only in obese adults but also in obese children and adolescents. The aim of the present ...
Pulmonary artery acceleration time in identifying pulmonary hypertension patients with raised pulmonary vascular resistance 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Background In patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), ascertaining raised vascular resistance as a cause is a clinical objective, for which various Doppler-based measurements have been proposed, b...

Speckle-tracking strain of the left atrium: a transoesophageal echocardiographic validation study 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Aims The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the relationship between novel two-dimensional transthoracic indices of left atrial (LA) mechanical function (speckle-tracking- and tissue Doppler-der...
Low-dose dobutamine adds incremental value to late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance in the prediction of adverse remodelling followin... 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Aims To examine the relative and combined value of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and low-dose dobutamine (LDD) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to predict ‘adverse remodelling’ (AR) following acu...
Relationship between left ventricular sphericity and trabeculation indexes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: a cardiac magnetic resonance study 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Aims To study the relationship between left ventricular (LV) trabeculations, volume, and sphericity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Methods...
A cross-sectional association of obesity with coronary calcium among Japanese, Koreans, Japanese Americans, and US Whites 8 Aug 2013 | 04:54 pm
Aims Conflicting evidence exists regarding whether obesity is independently associated with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a measure of coronary atherosclerosis. We examined an independent associatio...
