Novel cardiac imaging technologies : implications in clinical decision making Delgado, V.

4, 18 These reports evaluated cardiac function only in the active phase of the disease and demonstrated that patients with CS commonly have abnormal LV geometry (with increased LV

To study the relation between LA size, LA fibrosis and outcome after RFCA, the study population was divided into ‘small LA’ subgroup (n=84) and ‘large LA’ subgroup (n=86) based

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess left atrial (LA) strain during long-term follow-up after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), and find predictors for

The aim of the present study was twofold: first, to seek for clinical, and/or echocardiographic predictors of AF occurrence, including left atrial (LA) volumes, LA function and

Several years of treatment with dopamine agonists for prolactinomas is associated with increased prevalence of aortic valve calcification and mild tricuspid regurgitation, but

The valvular abnormalities that were more frequent in patients than in controls are calcifications of the tricuspid valve and mild regurgitation of the pulmonary valve. However,

Importantly, a high prevalence of valvular heart disease was observed in the present study population, with mitral and aortic valve regurgitation as the most

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
