Objective: Ankylosing spondylitis is a part of diseases called “seronegative spondyloarthropathy”. Affects the vertebral column, sacroiliac joint and peripheral joints. This chronic rheumatic disorder involved extra -articular parts like Heart, lungs, central nervous system eyes. lead to multiple cardiac complication such as systolic diastolic dysfunction left ventricle, valvular involvement , ...

BACKGROUND To examine the subclinical myocardial injury shortly after epirubicin exposure in asymptomatic patients with large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma using 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography. METHODS Sixty-seven patients aged 52.58 ± 13.86 years with large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with epirubicin were studied. Echocardiography was performed at baseline and 1 d...

The assessment of left ventricular shape changes during cardiac revolution may be a new step in clinical cardiology to ease early diagnosis and treatment. To quantify these changes, only point registration was adopted and neither Generalized Procrustes Analysis nor Principal Component Analysis were applied as we did previously to study a group of healthy subjects. Here, we extend to patients af...

Objective: The aim of this study was to use two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography to evaluate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on the left ventricular systolic function of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had been revascularized by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Material and Methods: Forty-two patients with AMI and successful revascularization ...

Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking (2D-STE) were used to detect left ventricular myocardial microcirculation perfusion systolic function in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) explore the relationship between two.

RATIONALE High-sensitivity in vivo phenotyping of cardiac function is essential for evaluating genes of interest and novel therapies in small animal models of cardiovascular disease. Transthoracic echocardiography is the principal method currently used for assessing cardiac structure and function; however, standard echocardiographic techniques are relatively insensitive to early or subtle chang...

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) poses some restriction on coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis with noninvasive diagnostic modalities. Objectives: Evaluating the role of 2-D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in CAD patients LBBB.

Mechnikov Complete improvement left ventricle systolic function is an essential feature takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Speckle -tracking echocardiography (STE) provides quantitative information about myocardial deformation, more accurately than conven...

Left ventricular (LV) function is normally improved after renal transplant; however, cardiovascular mortality remains elevated. Moderate physical activity has a positive impact on myocardial function; however, few data are available about the role of 2D echocardiography (2DE) and 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) on renal transplant recipients (RTR). From a large cohort of RTR submit...

We analyzed the correlation between Left Ventricular (LV) contraction and right ventricular pacing position via longitudinal strain on 2 dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in a patient underwent permanent pacemaker implantation developed induced cardiomyopathy
