Breed-wise standard echocardiographic values in dogs have been reported as there is variation in body and chest conformation which limits the application of data of one breed for other breed. Labrador Retrievers being originated from hunting dogs, might have different echocardiographic values from standard normal range of other dog breeds. So, the present study was aimed to determine the M-mode...

case presentation we present a case with a typical picture of myocarditis but normal echocardiographic findings, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by cardiac mri. discussion in particular, cardiac mri data are useful in borderline cases or in the presence of discrepancy between clinical picture and echocardiographic results. introduction the diagnosis of myocarditis based on a spectrum of fi...

The level of cardiac compensation in valvular disease was studied by relating echocardiographic and cardiac catheterization measurements. Three groups -- compensated, intermediately compensated, and decompensated -- were defined according to the left ventricular angiographic pattern and cardiac output. The echocardiographic ejection indices, percent left ventricular minor diameter shortening, e...

The accuracy of two-dimensional echocardiographic left ventricular volume measurement in an isolated heart preparation was tested using Simpson's reconstruction of progressively fewer short-axis cross sections of known location. Echocardiographic images from five ejecting hearts submerged in a special tank were obtained under conditions designed for maximal accuracy of echocardiographic volume ...

BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors treated with anthracycline chemotherapy are at an increased risk of long-term cardiac toxicity, and guidelines recommend that exposed survivors undergo echocardiography every 1-5 years. However, it is unclear whether survivors should undergo echocardiographic screening indefinitely, or if a period of echocardiographic stability indicates that screening is n...

Background and Objective: Obesity is one of the problems associated with cardiovascular complications. Patients' heart function improves after sleeve gastrectomy. Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) is one of the methods used to monitor heart function before and after sleeve gastrectomy.  In this study, we evaluated the echocardiographic parameters pre and post sleeve gastrectomy. Materials and M...

background: the p ulsatility index (pi) shows continuous blood flow to the end organs and is a significant factor believed to decrease in aortic coarctation. correction of this factor is of great importance in the treatment of stenotic lesions of the aorta. however, there are minimal data regarding the trend of changes in the pi after stent implantation. furthermore, the association between the...

echocardiography plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of patients with an intracardiac mass. the ability to distinguish tissue characteristics, location, attachment, shape, size, and mobility non-invasively, quickly, and without the use of ionizing radiation makes echocardiography the ideal diagnostic modality. with careful attention to mass location and morphology, and appropriate applic...
