Ventricular remodeling, first described in animal models of left ventricular (LV) stress and
injury, occurs progressively in untreated patients after large myocardial infarction and in …

Objectives: The primary aim of this systematic review is to objectively evaluate the test
performance characteristics of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) in measuring left …

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic (3DE) imaging represents a major innovation in
cardiovascular ultrasound. Advancements in computer and transducer technologies permit …

The authors investigated 3 important areas related to the clinical use of left ventricular mass
(LVM): accuracy of assessments by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to test the feasibility and accuracy of an automated
algorithm that simultaneously quantifies 3-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiography …

Background Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing
may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether …
