Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) is an
advanced imaging technique designed for left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation …

Patients with heart failure and decreased function frequently develop discoordinate
contraction because of electric activation delay. Often termed dyssynchrony, this further …

Two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2 D STE) is a novel technique of
cardiac imaging for quantifying complex cardiac motion based on frame‐to‐frame tracking of …

Aim The aim of this study is to assess if left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) can preserve
physiological cardiac synchrony and deliver favorable hemodynamic effects. Methods …

Heart failure is a major health problem in developed countries and a growing one in
developing countries. Cardiac remodeling in heart failure affects myocardial mechanics …

Abstract Evaluation of myocardial mechanics, although complex, has now entered the
clinical arena, thanks to the introduction of bedside imaging techniques, such as …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional status, induces reverse
left ventricular remodelling, and reduces hospitalization and mortality in patients with …

Clinical presentation, diagnosis and outcomes of cardiac diseases are influenced by the
activity of sex steroid hormones. These hormonal differences explain the later development …

Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony is an important prognostic factor for patients with
symptomatic systolic heart failure and has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardiac …

Aims To characterize the effect of multipoint pacing (MPP) compared to biventricular pacing
(BiV) on left ventricle (LV) mechanics and intraventricular fluid dynamics by three …
