Background Because left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is impaired before systolic
function in patients with ischemic heart disease and because ischemic heart disease is …

The echo patterns on ultrasono-cardiotomogram were evaluated in relation to the histological
changes of the myocardium. Page 1 Ultrasono-Cardiotomographic Evaluation of Histological …

In 61 patients (77 studies) who had a transmural myocardial infarction, we compared the left
ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography with the ejection fraction determined by a …

Twenty patients with coronary artery disease were studied with two-dimensional
echocardiography the day before saphenous vein bypass graft surgery. Serial studies were …

The relationship between regional and global left ventricular (LV) function in acute
myocardial infarction (MI) was determined from the contrast ventriculograms of 84 patients …

Right anterior oblique cineangiograms from 19 subjects without evidence of heart disease
were analysed to assess regional non-uniformity in the time of onset of systolic inward …

To test the feasibility of detecting transient left ventricular regional wall motion abnormalities
during exercise-induced myocardial ischemia, 55 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary …

Previous 2DE studies have suggested that left ventricular wall thickening determinants of
regional left ventricular function may be more precise than left ventricular wall motion …

The effects of experimental infarction of the posterior left ventricular wall on the
echocardiographic configuration and motion of the posterior left ventricular endocardium …

A range-gated, pulsed ultrasonic Doppler method for continuous measurement of the
instantaneous velocity of the posterior heart wall (PHW) is described. The reflection from the …
