Assessment of fetal myocardial deformation using speckle tracking techniques.
OBJECTIVE To report the current status of speckle tracking techniques in evaluation of fetal myocardial deformation. METHODS A variety of non-Doppler ultrasound methods are available using offline analysis of standard four-chamber and short axis views of the heart. RESULTS Most reports have used techniques developed for the measurement of strain and strain rate in the adult heart and produc...
متن کاملAssessment of Subclinical Myocardial Changes in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Case-Control Study Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Background: Considering the association between cardiac abnormalities and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between biopsy-proven NAFLD and functional echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) in asymptomatic individuals. Methods: Thirty asymptomatic patients with liver biopsy-prov...
متن کاملMyocardial deformation by speckle tracking in severe dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND The high and increasing prevalence of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a serious public health problem. New technologies are being used aiming at more accurate diagnoses in order to improve therapeutic approach. In this scenario, speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) uses natural myocardial markers to analyze the systolic deformation of the left ventricle (LV). OBJECTIVE T...
متن کاملFeasibility, Reproducibility, and Agreement between Different Speckle Tracking Echocardiographic Techniques for the Assessment of Longitudinal Deformation
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal deformation can be assessed with new echocardiographic techniques like triplane echocardiography (3PE) and four-dimensional echocardiography (4DE). We aimed to assess the feasibility, reproducibility, and agreement between these different speckle-tracking techniques for the assessment of longitudinal deformation. METHODS 101 consecutive subjects u...
متن کاملImpaired myocardial deformation in psoriatic arthritis patients assessment by speckle tracking echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) mechanics of patients diagnosed with PsA and no clinical evidence for cardiovascular disease (CVD) using a novel, more sensitive technique which evaluates myocardial deformation in multidimensional planes for the detection of impaired LV function. METHODS The study enrolled 31 PsA patients and sex-age matched 19 healthy controls. All partic...
