Contrast stress echocardiography in hypertensive heart disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-18)Hypertension is associated with atherosclerosis and cardiac and vascular structural and functional changes. Myocardial ischemia may arise in hypertension independent of coronary artery disease through an interaction between ... -
Global left ventricular load in asymptomatic aortic stenosis: covariates and prognostic implication (the SEAS trial)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-05)Introduction: Valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) is a measure of global (combined valvular and arterial) load opposing left ventricular (LV) ejection in aortic stenosis (AS). The present study identified covariates and tested ... -
Is strain by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography dependent on user controlled spatial and temporal smoothing? An experimental porcine study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08-22)Background Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) strain analysis relies on both spatial and temporal smoothing. The user is often allowed to adjust these smoothing parameters during analysis. This experimental study ...
