Abstract Background Abnormalities in right ventricular function are known to occur patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Objective Test the hypothesis that chronic elevation artery systolic pressure delays mechanical activation of ventricle, termed dyssynchrony, and is associated both symptoms dysfunction. Methods Fifty-two (mean age 46 ± 15 years, 24 hypertension) were prospectively evaluated using several echocardiographic parameters assess size function. In addition, tissue...
Abstract Background Right ventricular (RV) fractional area change and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) are recognised methods for assessing RV function. However, the way in which these variables affected by varying degrees of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been well characterised. Methods end-systolic (RVESA), end-diastolic (RVEDA), artery pressure (PASP) TAPSE were collected from a database 190 patients who had referred to PH clinic evaluation. Results The mean (SD)...
Background: Determination of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with suspected or known hypertension (PH) requires right heart catheterization. Our purpose was to use Doppler echocardiography estimate PVR PH. Methods: Patient population consisted 52 (53 ± 12 years; 35 females) who underwent and catheterization within 24 hours each other. The ratio peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) ventricular outflow time‐velocity integral (VTI RVOT ) measured via transthoracic...
Despite recent advances in clinical imaging, echocardiography remains as the most accessible and reliable noninvasive. Since knowledge of left ventricular systolic function so critically important determining prognosis; every effort should be made to prevent subjective estimations. The advent strain imaging now offers a readily available portable tool that not only an objective characterization myocardial dynamics; but also allows for early detection subclinical dysfunction. This review...
Purpose: Mouthwash is used by a large population. Short-term clinical trials have shown that antibacterial mouthwash deplete oral nitrate-reducing bacteria, and decrease systemic nitric oxide bioavailability. Our previous publication from the San Juan Overweight Adults Longitudinal Study (SOALS) was first to show frequent over-the-counter use independently associated with increased risk of prediabetes/diabetes. This manuscript evaluates whether hypertension.Materials methods: SOALS recruited...
Extensive data exist regarding annular descent and ventricular function. We have already demonstrated significant differences in amplitude timing of events between maximal mitral (MAPSE) tricuspid (TAPSE) plane systolic excursion as well described quantitative temporal ascent (AA) the right left sides heart. However, whether any relationship exists components remains uninvestigated.Left ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional area change (RVFAC), MAPSE, TAPSE, MV, TV AA pulsed tissue Doppler...
The McConnell sign has been regarded as a highly specific echo finding in acute pulmonary embolism (aPE). However, completely satisfying explanation to account for this observation aPE remains elusive. We used longitudinal velocity vector imaging (VVI) using dedicated software program (Research Arena, Siemens, California) assess regional right ventricular global and apical (RVa) mechanics between chronic hypertension (cPH) patients.Standard parameters of RV performance well base apex strain...
Background: Annular motion (AM) has been shown to occur during all dynamic phases of the cardiac cycle; but little is known regarding comparisons between mitral and tricuspid AM. We elected use M‐mode examine extent timing AM events. Methods: A complete echocardiogram was obtained in 50 patients [mean age 53 ± 16 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 57 19%, right fractional area change (RVFAC) 49 20%]. Timing intervals corrected for heart rate. Results: strong linear...
