Doppler echocardiography markedly underestimates left ventricular stroke work loss in severe aortic valve stenosis.
AIMS Left ventricular (LV) stroke work loss (SWL) is an index of aortic stenosis (AS) severity based on the energy loss concept. Traditionally known as an invasive measurement, SWL has also been determined noninvasively using Doppler echocardiography. The present work was done to compare the echocardiographic estimate against the standard invasive SWL. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined SWL in...
متن کاملEvaluation of Right Ventricular Function by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Asthmatic Children
BackgroundAsthma is the most chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in children and asthmatic patients can experience cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and finally cor pulmonale later in life. We aimed to investigate Right Ventricular (RV) functions in asthmatic children by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE).Materials and Methods Pulmonary function tests, con...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Aortic Valve Area by Doppler Echocardiography in Patients With Severe Asymptomatic Aortic Stenosis
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between aortic valve area (AVA) obtained by Doppler echocardiography and outcome in patients with severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis and to define a specific threshold of AVA for identifying asymptomatic patients at very high risk based on their clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 199 patients with asymptomatic s...
متن کاملEvaluation of aortic valve stenosis using a hybrid approach of Doppler echocardiography and inert gas rebreathing.
BACKGROUND Doppler echocardiography is the method of choice for diagnosis and evaluation of aortic stenosis. However, there are well-known limitations to this method in difficult-to-image patients. Flow acceleration in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) can lead to overestimation of stroke volume (SV) and poor acoustic windows may impede the exact measurement of the LVOT. The present stu...
متن کاملacute right coronary ostial stenosis during aortic valve replacement
we report a rare case of acute right coronary artery stenosis developing in a patient undergoing aortic valve replacement. we present a case report with a brief overview of the literature relating to coronary artery occlusion associated with cardiac valve surgery – the theories and treatments are discussed. a 85 year-old female was admitted under the care of the cardiothoracic team with signs ...
