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 ...

The study covered in this summary was published in medRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been peer-reviewed. Impaired left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain observed in patients with obstructive ...

Cardiovascular medicine is changing. It is progressively becoming more and more disease-based for diagnosis and therapy with the development of multidisciplinary meetings, often image guided. Some of ...

Worsening LV global longitudinal strain may be a harbinger of the need for intervention in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) and normal ejection fraction, new research hints. In a ...

Decreased strain and rotation were hypothesized to be associated with the presence and extent of left ventricular myocardial fibrosis in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Investigators recently ...

The parameter could potentially help clinicians zero in on the cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left atrial (LA) strain, as part of a complete echocardiographic workup, may help physicians ...

Background: Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. The presence of left ventricule hypertrophy (LVH) due to arterial hypertension may impair atrial function.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Epsilon Imaging, Inc., an advanced visualization and analysis technologies provider for cardiology, today announced the debut of EchoInsight, a suite of applications for ...

Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are sometimes used by power athletes to improve performance by increasing muscle mass and strength. Recent bioptical data have shown that in athletes ...
