Abstract Introduction Assessing left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is essential, because it can lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), significantly impacting morbidity and mortality rates. Echocardiography the primary imaging tool for detecting LV dysfunction, however its assessment time consuming requires experienced clinicians interpret multiple echocardiographic parameters. Recent advancements in deep learning might offer potential reduce analysis...
This study sought to examine the feasibility, accuracy and reproducibility of a novel, fully automated 2D transthoracic echocardiography (2D TTE) parasternal long axis (PLAX) view aortic measurements quantification software compared board-certified cardiologists in controlled clinical setting.Aortic Annulus (AoA), Aortic Sinus (AoS), Sinotubular Junction (STJ) Proximal Ascending Aorta (AAo) diameter were performed retrospectively on each 58 subjects two different ways: twice using (Ligence...
The main goal of this manuscript was to evaluate the diagnostic value global and regional postsystolic shortening (PSS) parameters, assessed by two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking echocardiography, at rest during dobutamine stress for detection functionally significant coronary artery stenoses in patients with moderate pretest probability stable disease (CAD).Dobutamine echocardiography (DSE) adenosine myocardial perfusion imaging cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR-MPI) were performed on 83...
Left ventricle (LV) geometry and dyssynchrony are associated with LV remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this prospective study was to assess the diagnostic value new three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) parameters [sphericity (SI) systolic indexes (SDI)] for prediction AMI compare them two-dimensional (2DE) parameters.2DE 3DE were performed in 75 patients within 3 days from onset MI 6 months later. defined as a ≥15% increase end-diastolic volume (EDV) at...
Abstract Introduction There is growing concern about the recurrence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after annuloplasty (TA) in individuals with functional (FTR). While TA effective treating FTR, a comprehensive understanding echocardiographic factors influencing TR crucial. Aim This study aims to employ multivariate regression analysis investigate prognostic significance valve (TV) geometry and parameters associated both RV function. The focus on comprehending these relationships context...
Abstract Introduction The increasing worry revolves around the reappearance of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following annuloplasty (TA) among individuals dealing with functional (FTR). Despite TA's efficacy as a treatment, complete understanding echocardiographic elements influencing recurrence TR is pivotal. This knowledge holds potential to guide development more robust preventive strategies, aiming ease incidence recurrent after TA. Aim aim this study was examine prognostic value valve...
While tricuspid annuloplasty (TAP) is an effective treatment option for regurgitation (TR), understanding the echocardiographic factors contributing to recurrent TR can help in developing more preventive measures reduce rate of after TAP.
Abstract Introduction The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) use in echocardiography over the past years has been exponential, proposing new paths to overcome inter-operator variability and experience operator. Even though applications AI are still their infancy within field echocardiography, potential implies future directions is eager assist for accuracy efficiency manual tracings. Deep learning, a subset machine learning algorithms, gaining popularity as state art visual data...
Aim: To assess the diagnostic value of left atrial deformation parameters during dobutamine stress echocardiography to predict significant coronary artery stenosis in patients with moderate pretest probability disease (CAD). Materials & methods: Rest and were performed on 61 a high CAD. Based presence CAD divided into pathological nonpathological groups. Results: Early diastolic strain rate (LAe SR) was significantly lower among group at doses. LAe SR evaluated receiver operating...
Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of global and regional myocardial deformation parameters derived from two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography detect functionally significant coronary artery stenosis. Methods: Dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging (CMR-MPI) were performed on 145 patients with a moderate high probability disease (CAD) LVEF≥55%. Significant CAD was defined as>50% stenosis left main stem,>70% in major...
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the tricuspid valve (TV) right ventricular (RV) geometry function characteristics using 3D echocardiography-based analysis identify echocardiographic predictors for severe regurgitation (TR) in different etiologies functional TR (fTR). Methods Results: prospective included 128 patients (median age 64 years, 57% females): 109 with moderate or fTR (69-caused by dominant left-sided valvular pathology (LSVP), 40 due precapillary...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Deep learning (DL) has been of increasing use in the field echocardiographic cardiology. The importance segmentation and recognition different heart chambers was already presented studies. However, there are no studies made regarding functional measurements. Even though, measurements right ventricle (RV) remains "dark side moon", doubtfully severity RV dysfunction influences worse outcomes. PURPOSE To evaluate DL for geometrical features measurement fractional area...
Abstract Introduction There is a growing concern regarding the recurrence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after annuloplasty (TA) in patients with functional (FTR). While TA an effective treatment option, understanding echocardiographic factors contributing to recurrent TR can help developing more preventive measures reduce rate TA. Aim The aim investigate relationship between valve (TV) and right ventricular geometry function parameters Methods This study was designed as prospective...
Objective: We aimed to investigate whether blood biomarker profile varies in patients with different baseline pressure at admission for acute heart failure. Design and method: A prospective, multi-centric, observational cohort study enrolled consecutive dyspnea from March, 2015 till December, 2017. The exclusion criterion was a suspected coronary syndrome. Data of 697 adjudicated diagnosis failure (AHF) were included the analysis. Blood biomarkers tested included: cardiac kidney markers,...
