Echocardiography is increasingly recommended for the diagnosis and assessment of
patients with severe cardiac disease, including acute heart failure. Although previously …

For many years, the echocardiographic quantitative assessment of right ventricular (RV)
function has been difficult owing to the complex RV anatomy. Identifying an accurate and …

Echocardiographic quantification is crucial in the diagnosis and management of patients
with acquired and congenital heart disease (CHD). The American Society of …

Echocardiographic strain and strain-rate imaging (deformation imaging) is a new non-
invasive method for assessment of myocardial function. Due to its ability to differentiate …

Echocardiographic strain and strain rate imaging is a new technology enabling more

Aims To quantify right ventricular (RV) function in patients with chronic thromboembolic
pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) before and after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) …

The assessment of right ventricular (RV) structure and function by echocardiography has
been improved by advancements that include Doppler tissue imaging, strain imaging, and …

Although right ventricular (RV) failure is the main cause of death in patients with pulmonary
arterial hypertension (PAH), there is insufficient data about the effects of PAH treatment on …

Background Until now, many investigators have focused on describing right ventricular (RV)
dysfunction in groups of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but very few …
