Ventricular remodeling, first described in animal models of left ventricular (LV) stress and
injury, occurs progressively in untreated patients after large myocardial infarction and in …

–—For 10 years, it was thought that ultrasound (US) contrast agents could be sufficiently
detected and imaged with the conventional imaging techniques, now referred to as …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the best echocardiographic method for
sequential quantification of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and volumes in patients …

In the early days, it was believed that ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) could be sufficiently
detected and imaged with the conventional imaging methods nowadays referred to as …

Current intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) probes are not optimized for contrast detection
because of their design for high-frequency fundamental-mode imaging. However, data from …

Echocardiographic assessment of cardiac function can be quite difficult in the intensive care
unit and may require transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We therefore compared …

Objectives The aim of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence tool to assess
echocardiographic image quality objectively. Background Left ventricular global longitudinal …

Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS)
play important roles in diagnosis and management of cardiac diseases. However, the issue …

Background The assessment of diastolic heart function has been hampered by multiple
difficulties. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a new, noninvasive technique to …

Short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) imaging is a novel beamforming technique that reduces
acoustic clutter in ultrasound images. A clinical study was conducted to investigate clutter …
