Segmental analysis of carotid arterial strain using speckle-tracking.
BACKGROUND Increased arterial stiffness has been shown to be associated with aging and cardiovascular risk factors. Speckle-tracking algorithms are being used to measure myocardial strain. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether speckle-tracking could be used to measure carotid arterial strain (CAS) reproducibly in healthy volunteers and to determine if CAS was lesser in individuals wit...
متن کاملEvaluation of carotid arterial elasticity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging
The objective is to evaluate carotid arterial elasticity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI).Sixty-two hospitalized patients with OSAHS and 20 healthy subjects were studied. The OSAHS patients were divided into 3 subgroups: a mild group, a moderate group, and severe group. All subjects underwent complete left co...
متن کاملLeft atrial strain in patients with arterial hypertension early effects of arterial hypertension: left atrial deformation analysis by two- dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography
Arterial hypertension (HtN) is one of the common diseases associated with the increased incidence of heart failure 1, 2 and is one of the independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) 3, 4 through perpetual structural and functional changes in the left atrium (LA) 5. Hypertensive cardiopathy starts in the left ventricle (LV) 6 while ejection fraction (eF) is still maintained 7. subseque...
متن کاملrelation between parameters of myocardial mechanics and ventricular arterial coupling: a three-dimensional speckle-tracking study in healthy adults
objectives our aim was to study the relation between vac and the parameters of myocardial mechanics using three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3dste). patients and methods we studied 68 normal participants (mean age, 35 ± 12.2 y; 36 [53%] males). vac was measured by the ratio of arterial elastance (ea) to ventricular elastance (ees). the peak systolic value of longitudinal strai...
متن کاملPrevalence of carotid arterial diseases in patients undergoing CABG operations
Introduction: Prevalence of stroke following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is % 2.1-5.2 and associated with high mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing CABG surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the years 2010-2011 on 192 patients who underwent open heart surgery (CABG) in...
