Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical application of pulsed Doppler tissue imaging for assessing abnormal left ventricular relaxation.
Takashi Oki,Tomotsugu Tabata,Hirotsugu Yamada,Tetsuzo Wakatsuki,Hisanori Shinohara,Akiyoshi Nishikado,Arata Iuchi,Nobuo Fukuda,Susumu Ito +8 more
TL;DR: Early diastolic parameters derived from the motion velocity of the LV posterior wall by pulsed Doppler tissue imaging were closely related to the time constant, which may allow noninvasive evaluation of abnormal LV relaxation in patients with various heart diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of left atrial pressure on left atrial appendage flow velocity patterns in patients in sinus rhythm
Tomotsugu Tabata,Takashi Oki,Nobuo Fukuda,Arata Iuchi,Kazuyo Manabe,Yoshimi Kageji,Miwa Sasaki,Hirotsugu Yamada,Susumu Ito +8 more
TL;DR: Even in patients in sinus rhythm, a marked elevation in the left atrial pressure is likely to reduce the leftAtrial appendage peak early and late emptying velocities, which may be accompanied by an increased incidence of thrombus formation in theleft atrial appendages compared with individuals with normal or only slightly elevated left atrium pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial Changes in Serum VEGF and HGF in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the serum V EGF level is associated with preinfarction ischemia and the increase in VEGF and HGF on day 7 of AMI may represent a response to acute inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated concentration of soluble vascular endothelial cadherin is associated with coronary atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: Increased secretion of VE-cadherin from the epicardial arteries is associated with the degree of coronary Atherosclerosis, indicating the presence of atherosclerosis rather than disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of aging on left atrial appendage flow velocity patterns in normal subjects.
Tomotsugu Tabata,Takashi Oki,Nobuo Fukuda,Arata Iuchi,Kazuyo Manabe,Yoshimi Kageji,Miwa Sasaki,Hirotsugu Yamada,Susumu Ito +8 more
TL;DR: A decrease in the peak atrial systolic flow velocity appeared to be an important sign of left atrial appendage thrombus formation even in normal elderly subjects in sinus rhythm.
