Posterior wall velocity determined by use of echocardiography has been proposed as an
index of total left ventricular performance in patients with ischemic heart disease …

A novel 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiographic tracking method enables the automated
tracking of displacement between 2 points of interest in echocardiographic images. The …

In 92 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated with tissue plasminogen activator
2.3±1.2 hours after the onset of chest pain, echocardiography was performed at 11±14 …

The quantification of regional ventricular function by M-mode echocardiography was
compared to that by sonomicrometry in 10 closed-chest, sedated swine during temporary …

Estimates of peak systolic and diastolic rates of left ventricular wall movement were made in
23 patients by echocardiography and angiocardiography. Echocardiographic …

Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal shortening plays an important role in cardiac contraction
and is invariably affected by the presence of coronary artery disease. Third-generation …

This study was designed to evaluate whether the effects of coronary reperfusion with or
without a pharmacologic agent could be detected in the early hours after infarction by 2 …

Abstract A two-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram was recorded shortly after admission in 46
patients with nondiagnostic chest pain. Eighteen patients were studied during chest pain …

Relations have been demonstrated between the preejection period (PEP) and indexes of left
ventricular (LV) systolic function. Doppler tissue M-mode imaging has the capability to …

Echocardiographic estimates of left ventricular ejection fraction (ECHO-LVEF) in acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) were obtained by a new approach, using visual analysis of left …
