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…
Background Because of the unique geometry of the right ventricle, assessment of right ventricular (RV) volume and function is clinically challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the…
Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography is the most widely used noninvasive imaging modality for the evaluation and diagnosis of cardiac pathology. However, because of the physical properties of ultrasound waves and specifics…
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recently published appropriate use criteria (AUC) directed at patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain,…
