Evaluation of diastolic function is a pivotal challenge due to limitations of the conventional
echocardiography, especially when the heart rate is rapid as in rats. Currently, by using …

Simple Summary Traditional echocardiographic imaging mainly identifies cardiac diseases
when symptoms are clear. This makes the innovation of new methods for the prediction and …

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background/
Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF), the main reason for morbidity and mortality, is …

Congestive heart failure (CHF), the leading cause of death, is deemed a grave sequel of
myocardial infarction (MI). The employment of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure …

Background The intraventricular pressure difference (IVPD) and intraventricular pressure
gradients (IVPG), estimated from color M-mode echocardiography (CMME) of the transmitral …

Assessment of intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPG) using color Doppler M-mode
echocardiography has gained increasing interest in the evaluation of cardiac function …

Background Novel non-invasive evaluation of the intraventricular pressure differences and
gradients (IVPD and IVPG) by color M-mode echocardiography (CMME) is a promising …

The rat infarct model is widely used in heart failure research, but few echocardiographic
indexes of left ventricular (LV) function are validated in this model. Accordingly, the objective …

Background—Ejection intraventricular pressure gradients are caused by the systolic force
developed by the left ventricle (LV). By postprocessing color Doppler M-mode (CDMM) …

We describe a method for the noninvasive measurement of left ventricular mass in small
animals using two-dimensionally guided M-mode echocardiography. We compared …
