Aim Determining left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF) is clinically important for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure and also its follow up. Determination of LVEF by using Simpson method…
Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by hormonal and metabolic abnormalities, and is thought to increase cardiovascular disease risk. This study used speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) to evaluate left…
Objective Myocardial involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has a great importantance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the rotation and twisting mechanics of the left ventricle…
Purpose Although sleep deprivation (SD) affects cardiovascular system in many ways, physio-pathological changes in cardiac chamber volume and function have not been well described. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has major advantages…
Objectives Cardiac output (CO) is an important hemodynamic parameter in the treatment of the heart failure. Conventionally, this is obtained at bedside by the thermodilution technique with an invasive procedure…
Aim Cardiovascular mortality is high in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD). In addition, HD per se can stress cardiac function because of the acute hemodynamic…
Purpose Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a little known technique for management of patients with excessive vagal activation, based on radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of autonomic connections in the three main ganglia…
Objective The myocardial bridge (MB) is an anomaly characterized by a typical intramyocardial route of a segment of one of the major coronary arteries. Pupillometry is a simple, non-invasive technique…
Objective Aortic diseases are an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder if not diagnosed before the development of the dissection…
Objective Pupillometry is a simple, non-invasive technique that provides valuable data concerning the balance of both branches of autonomous nervous system. Heart rate recovery (HRR) after graded exercise is one…
