AbstractBackgroundMyocardial deformation by speckle tracking echocardiography provides additional information on left ventricular function. Values of myocardial deformation (strain and strain rate) depend on the type of ultrasound machine and software that is used. Normative values for QLAB (Philips) are scarce, especially for children. It is important to evaluate the influence of age and body size on myocardial deformation parameters, since anthropometrics strongly influence many standard echocardiographic parameters.

Background. Currently, echocardiography has become an essential technology for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Accurate classification of apical two-chamber (A2C), apical three-chamber (A3C), and apical four-chamber (A4C) views and the precise detection of the left ventricle can significantly reduce the workload of clinicians and improve the reproducibility of left ventricle segmentation. In addition, left ventricle detection is significant for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the heart chambers. Method. RetinaNet is a one-stage object detection algorithm that can achieve high

Abstract:
Parasternal and apical echocardiography images captured from different cross-sectional planes (short-axis and four chambers) convey significant information about the structure and function of infarcted Left Ventricular (LV) myocardium. Thus, features from these cross-sectional views of echocardiograms extracted using computer-aided techniques may aid in characterizing Myocardial Infarction (MI). Therefore, this paper proposes a new algorithm for automated MI characterization using features extracted from parasternal short axis and apical four chambers cross-sectional views of 160 subjects (80

Abstract:
The standard views in echocardiography capture distinct slices of the heart which can be used to assess cardiac function. Determining the view of a given echocardiogram is the first step for analysis. To automate this step, a deep network of the ResNet-18 architecture was used to classify between six standard views. The network parameters were pre-trained with the ImageNet database and prediction quality was assessed with a visualization tool known as gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM).

Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a novel, angle-independent imaging technique useful to assess myocardial function by strain and strain rate analysis in human and veterinary medicine.

Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension is a condition with high morbidity and mortality. Resting transthoracic echocardiography is a pivotal diagnostic and screening test for pulmonary hypertension. The role of exercise stress echocardiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is not well-established. We studied right ventricular size changes during exercise using exercise stress echocardiography to assess differences between normal and pulmonary hypertension patients and evaluate test safety, feasibility, and reproducibility. Healthy control and pulmonary hypertension patients performed recumbent ex

AbstractFocused echocardiography is increasingly used by clinicians to guide fluid resuscitation. The UK Defence Medical Services (DMS) have adopted focused echocardiography as a tool to guide flow assessment and resuscitation in deployed critical care. We aimed to explore whether two focused echo techniques, namely Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Velocity Time integer (LVOT VTi) respiratory variability could be taught to a group of critical care nurses without previous exposure to ultrasound imaging. After a five-week program of training, validation was carried out

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is an important application of emergency department bedside ultrasound. Given limited curricular hours and economic constraints, training using ultrasound simulators represents an attractive alternative to using live-human models. Despite increased uptake of ultrasound simulator technology, educators lack evidence informing how best to use this technology. Three educational paradigms will be explored in this study: self-guided theory (learners are able to determine when they have had “enough practice”), desirable diff

The patients, with a median age of 6.8 (3.5–13.4) years, had a Qp/Qs ratio of 3.5:1 (1.2:1–8:1).

It also stimulates whole body calcium uptake in sea bream ( Sparus auratus) larvae with an estimated 60% coming from intestinal uptake in seawater. The present study investigated the role of PTHrP in the intestinal calcium transport in the sea bream in vitro.

Abstract Background Left atrial (LA) size is frequently assessed by posterior-anterior linear measurement of LA (LAD P-A) in the parasternal long axis to expedite examination. Aging, changes in body surface area, and several cardiovascular pathologies can affect aortic root (AoR) size, thereby affecting LA anatomical shape. We hypothesized that AoR dilatation influences LAD P-A and consequently correct assessment of LA size. Results We tested our hypothesis in a study of 70 patients with AoR diameter ranging from 2.7 to 4.8 cm. LA size assessed in parasternal long axis view as LAD P-A was comp
