Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional strain-a novel software for real-time quantitative echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function.
Marina Leitman,P. Lysyansky,Stanislav Sidenko,Vladimir Shir,Eli Peleg,Michal Binenbaum,Edo Kaluski,Ricardo Krakover,Zvi Vered +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the feasibility of 2D strain, a software for real-time quantitative echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function, which is based on the estimation that a discrete set of tissue velocities are present per each of many small elements on the ultrasound image.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circumferential and Longitudinal Strain in 3 Myocardial Layers in Normal Subjects and in Patients with Regional Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Marina Leitman,Michael Lysiansky,Peter Lysyansky,Zvi Friedman,Vladimir Tyomkin,Therese Fuchs,Dan Adam,Ricardo Krakover,Zvi Vered +8 more
TL;DR: Three-layer analysis of circumferential and longitudinal strain using speckle-tracking imaging can be performed on a clinical basis and may become an important method for the assessment of real-time, quantitative global and regional LV function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and Hemodynamic Effects of Bosentan Dose Optimization in Symptomatic Heart Failure Patients with Severe Systolic Dysfunction, Associated with Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension – A Multi-Center Randomized Study
Edo Kaluski,Gad Cotter,Marina Leitman,Olga Milo-Cotter,Ricardo Krakover,Isaac Kobrin,Tina Moriconi,Maurizio Rainisio,Avraham Caspi,Leonardo Reizin,Reuven Zimlichman,Zvi Vered +11 more
TL;DR: In HF patients with left ventricular dysfunction and secondary pulmonary hypertension, bosentan did not provide any measurable hemodynamic benefit, and was associated with more frequent AEs, requiring drug discontinuation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of visual assessment of global and segmental left ventricular function: a multicenter study by the Israeli Echocardiography Research Group.
David S. Blondheim,Ronen Beeri,Micha S. Feinberg,Mordehay Vaturi,Sarah Shimoni,Wolfgang Fehske,Alik Sagie,David Rosenmann,Peter Lysyansky,Lisa Deutsch,Marina Leitman,Rafael Kuperstein,Ilan Hay,Dan Gilon,Zvi Friedman,Yoram Agmon,Yossi Tsadok,Noah Liel-Cohen +17 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation size in patients with infective endocarditis.
TL;DR: In patients with infective endocarditis the strongest predictor of mortality is MRSA infection, followed by staphylococcal infection especially in association with older age or with large vegetations, which indicates that in these groups of patients surgery should be considered early.
