Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular function in ischemic heart disease Mollema, S.A.

of the patients revealed improvement at 6-month follow-up and 7% at 12-month follow-up; (3) No significant differences in baseline characteristics were observed between early

Accordingly, the present study compares myocardial strain assessed using 2D speckle- tracking with the transmural extent of scar tissue on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance

Logistic regression analysis (improvement in LVEF ≥5% as a binary value) showed that AFI global LV strain, peak level of troponin T, peak level of creatine phosphokinase, WMSI and

Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to relate clinical parameters (age, current smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia,

The main findings of the present study can be summarized as follows: 1) after 6 months of CRT 68% of patients were classified as clinical responders and 60% as

The main findings of the current study can be summarized as follows: 1) LV resynchronization following CRT occurs acutely and is sustained at 6-month follow-up, without

The results of the present study can be summarized as follows: 1) considerable improvement in LVEF with reduction in LV volumes is demonstrated at 3-month follow-up in heart failure

Peripheral blood cells were stained with HLA-A2.1 tetramers containing the tyrosinase368–376 peptide followed by staining with a panel of lineage antibodies, as described in
