Doppler tissue imaging for assessing left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in heart transplant rejection.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that diastolic mitral annular motion velocity, as determined by Doppler tissue imaging and left ventricular diastolic flow propagation velocity, is related to the histological degree of heart transplant rejection according to the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT). METHODS In 41 heart transplant recipients undergoing 151 myocardial...
متن کاملTissue doppler echocardiography in the diagnosis of heart transplantation rejection.
BACKGROUND Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is the gold standard method for the diagnosis of cellular rejection (CR) after heart transplantation (HT). OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) could detect CR > 3A and add diagnostic information compared to conventional Doppler. METHODS Fifty-four HT patients underwent 129 EMB and a TDI echocardiographic study within 24 h...
متن کاملDetection of subclinical LV dysfunction by tissue Doppler imaging.
Echocardiography is a well-established clinical tool for the assessment of myocardial function. However, in subclinical diseases, the routinely used echocardiographic parameters such as left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening are not sensitive enough to detect myocardial dysfunction. We have learned over the past years that other echocardiographic techniques such ...
متن کاملEarly detection of Fabry cardiomyopathy by tissue Doppler imaging.
BACKGROUND Fabry cardiomyopathy is diagnosed by detection of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with alpha-Galactosidase A deficiency. Conventional noninvasive tools are unable to provide a preclinical diagnosis allowing prompt institution of enzymatic therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied three groups of patients: 10 patients with causal mutations for Fabry disease and LVH, 10 ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricle Torsion by Tissue Doppler and Velocity Vector Imaging
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. Recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of LV twist. The aim of the present study was to compare LV twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (VVI) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) a...
