Biventricular and atrial diastolic function assessment using conventional echocardiography and tissue-Doppler imaging in adults with Marfan syndrome.
AIMS Previous studies provided evidence about left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in adults with Marfan syndrome (MFS). However, in the literature, data on right ventricular and bi-atrial diastolic function are limited. We aimed to investigate whether, in the absence of significant valvular disease, diastolic dysfunction is present not only in both ventricles but also in the atr...
متن کاملPulsed tissue Doppler imaging detects early myocardial dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether tissue Doppler myocardial imaging (TDI) indices can predict postoperative left ventricular function in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) after surgical correction. METHODS 84 patients (mean (SD) age 54.3 (10.8) years) with asymptomatic severe MR, an end systolic diameter < 45 mm, and an ejection fraction (EF) > 60% were subdivided in two groups: 43 patients w...
متن کاملTissue Doppler echocardiography in patients with thalassaemia detects early myocardial dysfunction related to myocardial iron overload.
AIMS To compare an echocardiographic method for detecting abnormal cardiac function before development of overt cardiomyopathy with a recently validated technique of quantifying myocardial iron load. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined thalassaemia patients whose myocardial iron load had been evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By tissue Doppler echocardiography, myocardial velocitie...
متن کاملtissue doppler imaging findings including prominent s wave in patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome
conclusions sm wave in tdi is prominent and significantly high in mvp syndrome. also, our study showed some degree of diastolic dysfunction in mvp patients. results seventy-five patients (48 females) at a mean age of 26.5 ± 9.4 years and 50 individuals (32 females) at a mean age of 27.1 ± 8.3 years were enrolled in the study. as the important results of our study, sm wave was much more prominen...
متن کاملIntrinsic biventricular dysfunction in Marfan syndrome.
BACKGROUND Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited, connective tissue disorder usually caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1). As fibrillin-1 is a component of the extracellular matrix of the myocardium, mutations in FBN1 may cause impairment of ventricular function. Furthermore, aortic elasticity is decreased in patients with MFS, which might also impair ventri...
