TL;DR: This work describes four patients and their dramatic clinical and hemodynamic response to treatment with prednisone when symptomatic measures failed and a novel approach for symptomatic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) related valvulopathy involves treatment with systemic corticosteroid.

TL;DR: Left ventricular outflow gradient occurs occasionally during dobutamine stress echocardiography examination, but its presence is of no physiological or clinical significance.

TL;DR: Among experienced readers using contemporary echocardiographic equipment, interobserver and intraobserver reliability was reasonable for the visual quantification of normal and akinetic segments but poor for hypokinetic segments.

TL;DR: In this article, an automatic method for quantifying wall motion based on longitudinal strain was proposed to identify and quantification of segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities on echocardiograms.

TL;DR: Surgical repair of atrial septal defect in adults reduces right ventricular and right atrial diameters and volumes, and improves left ventricular filling.
