Abstract Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a reliable imaging technique of recognized clinical value in several settings. This method uses the motion ultrasound backscatter speckles within echocardiographic images to derive myocardial velocities and deformation parameters, providing crucial insights on cardiac pathological physiological processes. Its feasibility, reproducibility, accuracy have been widely demonstrated, being strain various chambers inserted diagnostic algorithms...
BACKGROUND: Multimodality imaging is currently suggested for the noninvasive diagnosis of cardiac masses. The identification masses’ malignant nature essential to guide proper treatment. We aimed develop a magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived model including mass localization, morphology, and tissue characterization predict malignancy (with histology as gold standard), compare its accuracy versus diagnostic echocardiographic score, evaluate prognostic ability. METHODS: Observational cohort study...
Background: The value of the association arterial stiffness with left ventricular concentric remodelling/left hypertrophy (LVH) assessed by echocardiography, for prediction masked hypertension defined office and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in general population is largely undefined. We investigated this topic participants to Pressioni Monitorate E Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study. Methods: study included 272 (153 normotensives 119 hypertension) who attended second third...
We examined the reduced blood pressure (BP) nocturnal fall in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a meta-analysis including studies that provided data on prevalence rates of non-dipping (ND) pattern during 24-h ambulatory monitoring (ABPM).The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE, and Cochrane CENTRAL literature databases were searched for appropriate articles without temporal restriction up to April 2019 through focused sensitive search methods. Studies identified crossing terms as follows:...
Myocardial strain assessed with speckle tracking echocardiography is a sensitive marker of cardiac dysfunction. Both left-ventricular global longitudinal (LV-GLS) and right ventricular (RV-LS) were affected by severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, data about involvement in patients asymptomatic/mild Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) still lacking.To evaluate myocardial function using LV-GLS RV-LS previous COVID-19.Forty young adults without previously known comorbidities/cardiovascular risk...
