To investigate the relationship between diastolic abnormalities and left ventricular hypertrophy, 52 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) 22 normal subjects were studied digitized M mode echocardiography two-dimensional echocardiography. Echocardiographic indexes of function compared in different extent hypertrophy. Time interval from minimum internal dimension to mitral valve opening time peak rate increase significantly prolonged (80 +/- 31 100 37 msec, respectively) HCM most...
Aims This study was designed to identify potential specialty-related differences in the epidemiology, clinical profile, management and outcome of patients hospitalized for congestive heart failure departments cardiology or internal medicine.
Fifty-eight patients with transmural anterior myocardial infarction were prospectively studied serial two-dimensional echocardiography to determine the clinical implications and prognostic significance of detection left ventricular thrombus during acute infarction, incidence systemic embolization, possible occurrence spontaneous regression thrombi. Patients not treated anticoagulants or platelet inhibitors phase follow-up. Two-dimensional echocardiograms obtained within 24 hr every until day...
Previous retrospective echocardiographic studies have reported a higher embolic potential of left ventricular thrombi with protruding configuration and patterns mobility. The present study was performed to prospectively assess the shape mobility their spontaneous changes time. Two-dimensional echocardiograms were obtained in 109 consecutive patients acute anterior myocardial infarction within 24 hr onset symptoms, every until day 5, 48 15, then month for follow-up 1 29 (mean 14 +/- 8) months...

Patients syndrome and without ST segment elevation 78 centres Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden. 7213 planned percutaneous intervention: 4010 3203 elevation. The primary study results overall population have been reported previously. were randomly assigned, an open label fashion, to one of two regimens: bivalirudin glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors restricted procedural...
BACKGROUND Streptokinase reduces the incidence of left ventricular thrombosis after acute myocardial infarction. However, it is unknown whether a similar effect can be obtained with different thrombolytic agents and subcutaneous calcium heparin have an additional efficacy. METHODS AND RESULTS To compare effects two combined or not on features thrombi their related embolic events, we performed GISSI-2 ancillary echocardiographic study (the first echocardiogram within 48 hours symptoms onset...
Spreading resistance to front-line treatments necessitate the search for new classes of antimalarials. Limitations standard screening conditions lead us develop an assay using culture media that more closely reflects nutrient levels in human serum reveal therapeutically relevant parasite pathways. Our approach was validated by testing 22k compounds followed a full 750k compound screen and identified 29 chemotypes with higher activity restricted were further characterized. Through combination...
Patients with beta-thalassemia major present severe anemia and need continuous transfusion therapy. The consequent iron overload leads to hemochromatosis. Initial cardiac dysfunction has been documented even in thalassemics without clinical manifestations of heart failure as well by conventional echocardiographic-Doppler techniques. purpose this study was assess the acoustic quantitative properties myocardium patients overload.Thirty-eight major, signs failure, 20 age- sex-matched young...
Left ventricular thrombus may develop both early and late after acute anterior myocardial infarction. To assess the possible prognostic implication of time appearance, 125 patients (87 males; age ranging from 35 to 92 years, mean: 65 +/- 10 years) consecutively admitted our coronary care unit within 24 h a first infarction, untreated with antithrombotic drugs, underwent serial two-dimensional echocardiographic studies during hospitalization, then monthly for follow-up 1-48 (mean: 23 16)...
Abstract Real-time three-dimensional (RT-3D) echocardiography has entered the clinical practice but true incremental value over standard two-dimensional (2D) remains uncertain when applied to stress echo. The aim of present study is establish additional RT-3D echo 2D echocardiography. We evaluated 23 consecutive patients (age = 65 ± 10 years, 16 men) referred for dipyridamole with Sonos 7500 (Philips Medical Systems, Palo, Alto, CA) equipped a phased – array 1.6–2.5 MHz probe second harmonic...
The objective of this study is to investigate and address the question surrounding determination optimal endograft length coverage during TEVAR for type B aortic dissection (TBAD), with a particular emphasis on distal landing zone (DLZ). MEDLINE, Scopus, Web Science databases were used. PRISMA-ScR statement was followed. Several variables can contribute in TBAD patient. Baseline patient's characteristics, TBAD-related features, endoprosthesis, postoperative graft behaviour may choice...
To assess the reproducibility of dobutamine‐atropine echocardiography testing, two studies (1 to 20 days apart [mean 3.3 days]) were performed in 23 patients with stable effort angina pectoris or chest pain. During study, (87%) receiving beta blockers alone combined nitrates calcium antagonists. Dobutamine was infused at doses 10 μg/kg per minute every 3 minutes up a maximum 40 and this maximal dose continued for 6 minutes. In not achieving 85% predicted heart rate myocardial ischemia,...
In 2020, the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic is causing a huge and dramatic impact on healthcare systems worldwide. During this emergency, fragile patients suffering from other comorbidities, especially susceptible to or affected by cardiovascular disease, are ones most exposed poorer outcomes. Therefore, it still mandatory continue strictly adhere rules of prevention. This document aims provide all doctors with simple clear recommendations in order spread useful messages widest number subjects battle...
In recent years, increasing evidence has pointed to the potential of dipyridamole stress echocardiography as a fast, effective, inexpensive method risk stratification after an acute myocardial infarction. A very early by this test could improve patient's management and reduce duration in-hospital stay, and, thus, costs. Two-hundred fifty-one consecutive patients (208 male, age 58 +/- 11) with two-dimensional echocardiogram good technical quality underwent echocardiographic (DET) 70 6 h...
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (McKusick 18550) is a rare hereditary condition with autosomal dominant transmission. However, the available data have been limited to small family groups which do not allow definition of degree penetrance disease. The present study describes large high frequency supravalvular including five generations and 80 subjects, largest group this disease studied so far. was carried out prospectively in 66 subjects (clinical examination, ECG, M mode two dimensional...
Cardiac and systemic hemodynamics have been historically in the domain of invasive cardiology, but recent advances real-time 3-Dimensional echocardiography (RT3D echo) provide a reliable measurement ventricular volumes, allowing to measure set hemodynamic parameters previously difficult or impossible obtain with standard 2D echo.To assess feasibility comprehensive study RT-3D echo.We enrolled 136 patients referred for routine echocardiography: 44 normal (N), 57 hypertensive (HYP), 35...
