This study aims to evaluate the torsional dynamics and 2D speckle tracking in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction on patients taking angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) and none.?ARNI has been s...
Background and Objective: Wilson’s disease is a genetic disorder of copper metabolism that affects liver and other organs including heart. In early stages of myocardial affection, the left ventricle (LV) appears appa...
Objectives: Hypertension is a major risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Remodeling of the aortic root may be expected to occur in hypertensive...
Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is a well-established method for detecting myocardial ischemia. The classic echocardiographic findings of ischemia are new or worsening abnormalities of radial wall...
Background: Pentraxin 3 is an inflammatory biomarker whose serum level is increased during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to measure the serum pentraxin-3 level in anterior ST-segment ele...
Background: Hypertension has important effects on left ventricle and its early detection helps to avoid the cardiac complications. LV Twist in systole helps in storing potential energy during diastole;LV untwist relea...
Background: LAA is the major site of thrombus formation in mitral stenosis;active LAA blood flow and contractile function may be disturbed in MS. TEE?is the modality of choice for evaluating LAA and Speckle-tracking?e...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy for selected heart failure (HF) patients to improve symptoms, ventricular function, and survival. Although increasingly used, left ventricular (LV) dys...
