Focused cardiac ultrasonography is a point-of-care, qualitative or semiquantitative means of assessing cardiac size, structure, and function that is performed and interpreted by the clinician at the ...

We recently developed novel software to measure phasic strain rate (SR) using automated one-beat real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) with high volume rates. We ...

Degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) has become the most common valvular heart disease and the definitive treatment of symptomatic, severe AS is surgical valve replacement. In the absence of symptoms, ...

A new study published in Frontiers of Medicine focuses on establishing normative values for left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) size and function using three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) ...

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...

The role of assessment of myocardial viability in identifying patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who might benefit from surgical revascularization remains controversial. Furthermore, although ...

A ventricular resection is a type of surgery that removes scar tissue or a tumor from a heart chamber to restore function. Often, a reconstruction or repair procedure follows this. The heart has four ...
