systolic longitudinal function of the left ventricle assessed by speckle tracking in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
background: echocardiographic evaluations of the longitudinal axis of the left ventricular (lv) function have been used in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure with normal ejection fraction (hfnef). the evaluation of the global and segmental peak systolic longitudinal strains (pslss) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (ste) may correlate with conventional echocardiogr...
متن کاملLeft atrial longitudinal strain by speckle tracking echocardiography correlates well with left ventricular filling pressures in patients with heart failure
BACKGROUND The combination of early transmitral inflow velocity and mitral annular tissue Doppler imaging (E/Em ratio) is widely applied to noninvasively estimate left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. However E/Em ratio has a significant gray zone and its accuracy in patients with heart failure is debated. Left atrial (LA) deformation analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) was r...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Anemia in Elderly With Systolic Heart Failure
Objectives: Anemia is prevalent in heart failures and is an independent risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CHF. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of anemia in elderly with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz Hospital of Karaj in 2009. Methods & Materials: This is a descriptive retrospective study that reviewed 154 medical records o...
متن کاملComparison of strain parameters in dyssynchronous heart failure between speckle tracking echocardiography vendor systems
BACKGROUND Although mechanical dyssynchrony parameters derived by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) may predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), comparability of parameters derived with different STE vendors is unknown. METHODS In the MARC study, echocardiographic images of heart failure patients obtained before CRT implantation were prospectively analysed with vendo...
متن کاملCorrelates of global area strain in native hypertensive patients: a three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography study.
AIMS The present study aimed to test the capability of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) in characterizing early abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) structure and function in native, untreated hypertensive patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-eight newly diagnosed, never-treated hypertensives (H) and 38 healthy controls (C) underwent both standard echo-Doppler and RT3DE ...
