AimsAvailability of normative reference values for cardiac chamber quantitation is a prerequisite accurate clinical application echocardiography. In this study, we report normal ranges chambers size obtained in large group healthy volunteers accounting gender and age. Echocardiographic data were acquired using state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment following protocols approved by the European Association Cardiovascular Imaging.
To obtain the normal ranges for 2D echocardiographic (2DE) measurements of left ventricular (LV) strain from a large group healthy volunteers accounting age and gender. A total 549 (mean age: 45.6 ± 13.3 years) subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study. 2DE data sets have been analysed with vendor-independent software package allowing homogeneous irrespective equipment used to acquire sets. The lowest expected values LV...
To obtain the normal ranges for 2D echocardiographic (2DE) indices of myocardial work (MW) from a large group healthy volunteers over wide range ages and gender. A total 226 (85 men, mean age: 45 ± 13 years) subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study. Global index (GWI), global constructive (GCW), waste (GWW), efficiency (GWE) estimated left ventricle (LV) pressure–strain loops. Peak LV systolic pressure was non-invasively...
AimsReference values for Doppler parameters according to age and gender are recommended the assessment of heart physiology, specifically left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. In this study, we report normal reference ranges obtained in a large group healthy volunteers. Echocardiographic data were acquired using state-of-the-art cardiac ultrasound equipment following acquisition measurement protocols approved by European Association Cardiovascular Imaging.
To obtain the normal ranges for echocardiographic measurements of left atrial (LA) function from a large group healthy volunteers accounting age and gender. A total 371 (median 45 years) subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions in Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study European Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). Left data sets analysed with vendor-independent software (VIS) package allowing homogeneous irrespective equipment used to acquire sets. The...
Availability of normative reference values for cardiac chamber dimensions, volumes, mass, and function is a prerequisite the accurate application echocardiography both clinical research purposes. However, due to lack consistency in current echocardiographic 'reference values', their use decision-making remains questionable. The aim 'Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography Study (NORRE Study)' obtain set 'normal values' geometry large cohort healthy Caucasian individuals aged over wide range...
To report normal reference ranges for echocardiographic dimensions of the proximal aorta obtained in a large group healthy volunteers recruited using state-of-the-art cardiac ultrasound equipment, considering different measurement conventions, and taking into account gender, age, body size individuals. A total 704 (mean age: 46.0 ± 13.5 years) (310 men 394 women) were prospectively from collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study. comprehensive...
To obtain the normal ranges for 3D echocardiography (3DE) measurement of left ventricular (LV) volumes, function, and strain from a large group healthy volunteers.A total 440 (mean age: 45 ± 13 years) out 734 subjects enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study had good-quality 3DE data sets that have been analysed with vendor-independent software package allowing homogeneous measurements regardless echocardiographic machine used to...
The present study sought to evaluate the correlation between indices of non-invasive myocardial work (MW) and left ventricle (LV) size, traditional advanced parameters LV systolic diastolic function by 2D echocardiography (2DE).A total 226 (85 men, mean age: 45 ± 13 years) healthy subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges for Echocardiography (NORRE) study. Global index (GWI), global constructive (GCW), waste (GWW), efficiency (GWE) estimated from...
To obtain the normal range for 2D echocardiographic (2DE) measurements of left ventricular (LV) layer-specific strain from a large group healthy volunteers both genders over wide ages.A total 287 (109 men, mean age: 46 ± 14 years) subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions EACVI Normal Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study. Layer-specific was analysed apical two-, three-, and four-chamber views using 2DE software. The lowest values calculated as ±1.96 standard...
Abstract We report a 43 year-old female with past TTE echocardiography of rheumatic valve disease performed in her district hospital , ( No clear symptomatology fever the past). She was transferred to our tertiary for elective cardiac surgery. Preoperative echocardiogram showed non-dilated left ventricle preserved contractility, mild-moderate atrium enlargement severe mitral regurgitation and basal displacement papillary muscles tricuspid regurgitation.All it resembling hammock instead...
