Cardiac and ventilatory motions cause artifacts at chest computed tomography (CT). To
determine how short the scan times on third-generation units must be to avoid such artifacts …

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to evaluate coronary artery motion characteristics
and determine optimal electron beam tomography (EBT) scan time during the cardiac cycle …

The left ventricular response to haemodynamic stress was compared in 17 normal young
(mean 29 years) and 11 normal old (mean 68 years) men. Echocardiographic …

To evaluate left ventricular (LV) reserve, we developed a method of dynamic exercise
echocardiography (DEE). Forty-six healthy persons and 47 cardiac patients performed …

The effect of maximum exercise on left ventricular function was assessed in 12 patients with
normally innervated hearts (IH) and six patients with denervated hearts (DH) who had …

In contrast to previous reports from our own laboratory utilizing systolic time intervals (STI)
and by others using ultrasound, no evidence of acute myocardial depression was observed …

M-mode echocardiographic measurement of septal and left ventricular ex cursions and
velocities was attempted in 109 subjects. Seventy subjects had ade quate echocardiograms …

Respiratory and cardiac motion cause artifacts in computed tomography (CT) scans of the
chest. These artifacts appear as streaks, black bands, distortions, doubling, or loss of spatial …

In view of the fact that stable echocardiograms are easily ob- tained during atrial pacing, pacing
echocardiography was Page 1 Pacing Echocardiography Regional Wall Motion, Left …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of two non- invasive techniques (STI
and echocardiography) in Page 1 Non-Invasive Evaluation by Thermistor Plethysmography of …
