The aim of this study is to present short-axis radial and circumferential strain rate measurements by speckle tracking echocardiography technique in healthy cats dogs. was performed at Small Animal Training Research Hospital, Ankara University. Retrospective data from (n=5) dogs (n=5), which are applied the animal hospital for cardiological examination, were analyzed. Two-dimensional without se...

Abstract Background Myocardial dysfunction is well established in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The utility of standard echocardiography limited to detect the onset myocardial dysfunction. Speckle tracking (STE) and strain imaging has emerged as a useful technique quantify left ventricle hemodynamics function early stages We aimed systematically analyze existing literature on application STE analys...

Doxorubicin (Dox) is a medication used in the treatment of cancerous tumors and hematologic malignancies with potentially serious side effects, including risk cardiotoxicity. Flavonoids are plant metabolites antioxidant properties can be extracted from Camellia sinensis (CS). The aim this study to evaluate possible cardioprotective effect CS against injuries induced by Dox rats. A total 32 anim...

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) can profoundly improve outcome in selected patients with heart failure; however, response is difficult to predict and can be absent in up to one in three patients. There has been a substantial amount of interest in the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony, with the ultimate aim of reliably identifying patients who will respond to ...

Evaluation of myocardial mechanics, although complex, has now entered the clinical arena, thanks to the introduction of bedside imaging techniques, such as speckletracking echocardiography. Overcoming the limitations of previous techniques, such as tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI), bi-dimensional (2D) and, only recently, three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking, allows a fast, reproducible, and semi...
