Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurements of Mitral Annular Displacement in 2D Echocardiography ImagesFaten A. Dawood, Rahmita W. Rahmat, Suhaini B. Kadiman et al.Mitral Annular Displacement (MAD) in echocardiography has been described as a variation in mitral annulus position between the end-diastolic and the end-systolic in a complete cardiac cycle. It could be used as a rapid and reproducible method of determining the LV global systolic function and could be an easily detectable index for wall motion abnormalities. In this study, a computational … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 4 Jul 2015 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Severity of Mitral Valvular Regurgitation with Doppler Echocardiography Using Proximal Flow Convergence MethodPinjari Abdul Khayum, M.N. Giriprasad, P.V. SrideviProblem statement: Valvular regurgitation is recognized as the central cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though the clinician can detect the presence of regurgitation by mere physical examination; diagnostic methods become inevitable while estimating the severity of valvular regurgitation and in the transformation of cardiac chambers as in reaction to the volume overload condition. Lately, a promising new technology, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,220 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Upper Limit of Physiological Cardiac Hypertrophy in Elite Male AthletesMohammad Al Hnidawei, Majed MjallI, Ziad ZayedProblem statement: Establishment of upper normal limits of physiological hypertrophy in response to physical training is important in the differentiation of physiological and pathological left ventricular hypertrophy. The goal of our study was to investigate the normal upper limits of cardiac dimensions in elite athletes in Jordan in different types of sports (8 soccer players, 8 sprinters, 8 long distance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases. Ultrasound image segmentation, in particular echocardiographic image segmentation, is required to identify the regions of interest such as Left Ventricle (LV) and other cardiac cavities. Existing methods do not address the drawbacks of speed and quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy Scope of Cardiographic Diagnosis of Myxomatous Mitral Valvular Disease and Sinus Arrhythmia in Dogs and CatsIntan Permatasari Hermawan, Hana Cipka Pramuda Wardhani, PalestinMyxomatous Mitral Valvular Disease (MMVD) is the most common cardiac problem in dogs, and sinus arrhythmia in cats is important to early diagnosis. This study aimed to diagnose Myxomatous Mitral Valvular Disease (MMVD) using echocardiography and sinus arrhythmia using electrocardiography in dogs and cats. This study evaluates two dogs, a male mix domestic, and two cats, a male mix domestic, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2025 · 5,071 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diagnostic and Etiologic Challenge of Myocarditis in Oncologic Patients: Acute Myocarditis During Induction Treatment with All-Trans Retinoic AcidNúria Coma, Sergio Moral, Rosa Coll et al.Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium characterized by myocardial infiltration with inflammatory cells and non-ischemic myocytic necrosis. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters and also cardiac magnetic resonance or endomyocardial biopsy when possible. It occurs primarily as a result of infections that include viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi. Moreover, there are other causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 7 Jun 2021 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMycobacterium Chimaera. A Lethal Enemy of Cardiac SurgeryAnna Llorens Ferrer, Elisabet Berastegui Garcia, Lourdes Mateu Pruñosa, Christian Muñoz GuijosaMycobacterium chimaera (M. chimaera) can cause disseminated infection and Infective Endocarditis (IE) in patients with previous cardiac surgery. M. chimaera is acquired during cardiopulmonary bypass via bioaerosols emitted from contaminated heater-cooler units water systems. M. chimaera infections can cause pneumonia, especially in patients with underlying chronic pulmonary diseases like cystic fibrosis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cardiovascular manifestations and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2021 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImmunе-Mediated Myocarditis Associated with Leptospirosis in 6 Years Old Labrador RetrieverOleinikov Dmitrii, Letunoskaja AnnaAbout 6 years old, male Labrador retriever was presented for 10 days long weakness and fatigue. After diagnostic examinations, a preliminary diagnosis of Leptospirosis was suggested. Cardiologist consultation was advised. At admission, the dog was depressed, the visible mucosa was pale and capillary refilling time was slowed. Weak systolic murmur and rhythm disturbances were auscultated. Thoracic radiography revealed the accented … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
