Right atrial function with speckle tracking echocardiography: Do we really need it?
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital cardiac anomalies presenting in adulthood. ASD is characterized by a defect in the interatrial septum that allows pulmonary venous return from the left atrium to pass directly to the right atrium. The magnitude of the left-toright shunt across the ASD depends on the defect size, the relative compliance of the ventricles, and the re...
متن کاملNormal reference ranges for echocardiography: do we really need more?
Echocardiography is themostwidelyusednon-invasivecardiac imaging for assessing the cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography has the advantage of low cost, no radiation risk, and great availability. However, as for any diagnostic test, its interpretation depends on its ability to accurately detect abnormalities. Actually, the definition of ‘abnormal’ relies on the definition of ‘normal’ ...

This is an op under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4 Introduction Atypical atrial flutter is defined as macroreentrant atrial tachycardia (AT) that does not involve the cavotricuspid isthmus; a variety of reentrant circuits may include reentry around the mitral valve annulus or scar tissue w...
متن کاملAssessment of right atrial function with speckle tracking echocardiography after percutaneous closure of an atrial septal defect.
INTRODUCTION Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) for two-dimensional (2D) strain analysis is a new tool to assess myocardial function. The aim of this study was to assess right atrial (RA) function using STE in patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD) before and one month after percutaneous closure. METHODS We prospectively examined 32 consecutive patients (nine male, 23 female) who un...
