BACKGROUND Identification and quantification of segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities on echocardiograms is of paramount clinical importance but is still performed by a subjective visual method. We constructed an automatic tool for assessment of wall motion based on longitudinal strain. METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiograms of 105 patients (3 apical views) were blindly analyzed b...
BACKGROUND Supine bicycle exercise echocardiography (SBEE) has never been used before and early after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for assessing the functional outcome of the procedure and predicting late restenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We selected 76 subjects with stable angina, normal wall motion at rest, and exercise-induced wall-motion abnormalities before PTCA. S...
BACKGROUND Two-dimensional speckle tracking provides valuable information for regional wall motion abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of left ventricular longitudinal strain and torsion to diagnose coronary artery disease during dobutamine stress echocardiography. METHODS We studied 100 patients (mean age 60.8 ± 10.7 years, 72 male) with known or su...
fixed myocardial defects in both stress and rest images, could be artifactual as a result of soft tissue attenuation. to increase specificity and identify the false positive results, we used gated technique to evaluate the wall motion and wall thickening as an index to differentiate real ischemic lesions from artifactual defects. 93 patients were studied. in 46 patients (48.8%) fixed perfusion ...
quantification of arterial elasticity and its dependency to age is considered in this paper. we use radiofrequency (rf) signals fromcarotid artery ultasonography to evaluate this dependency. blood pressure, blood flow, and tethering to surrounding tissue are the maincauses of the motion of the carotid wall. tracking carotid artery wall motion from a series of ultrasound b‑mode images is challen...
The echocardiographic motion of the aortic root reflects, in part, left atrial filling and emptying. Patients with mitral valve obstruction were studied to determine whether clinically important alterations in patterns of left atrial emptying would alter motion of the posterior aortic wall. Patients with mitral stenosis had a characteristic pattern of slowing of left atrial emptying in early di...
Methods 36 children (5.8 ± 2.4 yrs) with HLHS after completion of Fontan-circulation were investigated. 17 patients (pts) had mitral and aortic atresia (MA/AA) without a visible left ventricular cavity. In 19 pts representing the anatomical subgroups mitral stenosis/aortic atresia (MS/AA) and mitral stenosis/aortic stenosis (MS/AS) a left ventricular cavity was present. We used CMR cine-imaging...
Background: For the purpose of ascertaining myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia, the sensitivity of the initial 12-lead ECG is inadequate. It is risky to diagnose posterior MI using only precordial reciprocal changes, since the other leads may be more optimally positioned for the identification of electrocardiographic changes. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between electrocard...
abstract background: heat is one of the most important of harmful agents in many working environments such as bakeries that can cause prevalence of diseases related to heat and falling of efficiency. aim of this study was exposure evaluation of isfahan bakers to heat stresses in their working environment through evaluation of relationship among wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) , oral tem...
Real-time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging has been proposed as an alternative for two-dimensional stress echocardiography for assessing myocardial dysfunction and underlying coronary artery disease. Analysis of 3D stress echocardiography is no simple task and requires considerable expertise. In this paper, we propose methods for automated analysis, which may provide a more objective a...
