The classical echocardiographic signs of assessment of LV filling pressures all appeared in this study to be able to discriminate the cardiogenic from the non-cardiogenic origin of a severe dyspnea.

To assess left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, M-mode echocardiography, pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging were performed at baseline, 2 and 4 weeks ...

In adults being evaluated for cardiac function by echocardiography, an initial assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction by artificial intelligence was superior to an assessment by a ...

The objective evidence of normal LV systolic function is more frequently established in clinical practice by determining the ejection fraction, by echocardiography or radionuclide ventriculography.

A new study published in Frontiers of Medicine focuses on establishing normative values for left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) size and function using three-dimensional echocardiography ...

DENVER, CO—For patients receiving optimal medical therapy, stenting a chronic total occlusion (CTO) does not provide a boost in either regional or global LV function, the REVASC trial shows. The ...

In patients with preserved LV function post-ACS who used beta-blockers, the study found an unexpected increase in all-cause mortality after adjusting for important baseline covariates.
