Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of noninvasive assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in heart-transplanted patients by exercise stress myocardial deformation and coronary flow…
Susan E. Wiegers, MD, FASE, FACC Many of us have so many demands on our time and attention that we don’t often take time to map out our direction. In…
Deborah A. Agler, ACS, RDCS, FASE Spring is on the way, and it will not be long until we are attending the 27 th Annual Scientific Sessions in Seattle, Washington….
Background The aims of this study were to assess the influence of left bundle branch block (LBBB)–like conduction abnormalities on left ventricular (LV) blood flow patterns and to characterize their…
The American Society of Echocardiography is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. ASE recognizes courses as supplements to formal training…
Background Echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular (LV) mass is routinely performed in pediatric patients with elevated cardiovascular risk. The complex relationship between heart growth and body growth in children requires…
Background Fetal echocardiography is now the standard approach for detailed investigations of fetal cardiac anatomy and function. Available studies proposing reference values for pulsed-wave Doppler (PWD) measurements are often focused…
Background There is limited information regarding the role of left ventricular (LV) twist and the effect of exercise in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to…
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been established as a powerful tool for predicting mortality. However, its application is limited by availability and various contraindications. The aim of this…
Background Given the complex morphologic nature of the right ventricle, three-dimensional (3D) approaches would be more appropriate for assessing right ventricular (RV) function than two-dimensional approaches. Thus, the investigators have…
