Wellens’ syndrome with segmental wall-motion abnormalities
Wellens' syndrome is a pattern of electrocardiographic T-wave changes associated with critical, proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery stenosis. We herein report 2 cases of Wellens' syndrome with segmental wall-motion abnormalities The first case is a 50-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with typical chest pain. Admission ECG showed biphasic T waves in leads V1-V3 with i...
متن کاملAssessment of segmental wall motion abnormalities using contrast two-dimensional echocardiography in awake mice.
Murine models of cardiac disease are becoming an important tool for studying pathophysiological processes. Development of methods to accurately assess ventricular function are therefore important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of echocardiographic assessment of segmental wall motion abnormalities in a murine model of myocardial infarction. Two-dimensional contrast (C...
متن کاملMinor segmental wall motion abnormalities detected in patients with Chagas' disease have adverse prognostic implications.
Recent data from our laboratory have shown that patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas' disease can have impairment of left ventricular contractility, as evaluated by the slope of the left ventricle end-systolic pressure-dimension relationship. We also showed that Chagas' disease patients with minimal baseline wall motion abnormalities detected by two-dimensional echocardiography have m...
متن کاملSegmental Tissue Doppler Image-Derived Tei Index in Patients With Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although the Tei index is a useful predictor of global ventricular function, it has not been investigated at the level of regional myocardial function. We therefore investigated the segmental tissue Doppler image derived-Tei index (TDI-Tei index) in patients with regional wall motion abnormalities. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We prospectively studied 17 patients (mean age 6...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking predicts severity of wall motion abnormalities following acute coronary syndromes
Background Left ventricular wall motion assessment following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) allows prediction of functional recovery. Current methods are based upon visual assessment, with inherent operator variability. CMR myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) is a recently introduced technique for tissue voxel motion tracking on standard steady-state free precession (SSFP) images to derive ...
