Journal ArticleDOI
Strain and strain rate imaging: a new clinical approach to quantifying regional myocardial function.
TL;DR: This review will focus both on the potential clinical applications of these new ultrasound-based deformation parameters and the current limitations inherent in implementing the technique in everyday practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial function defined by strain rate and strain during alterations in inotropic states and heart rate
Frank Weidemann,Fadi Jamal,George R. Sutherland,Piet Claus,Mirosław Kowalski,Liv Hatle,Ivan De Scheerder,Bart Bijnens,Frank Rademakers +8 more
TL;DR: For normal myocardium, SR(sys) reflects regional contractile function (being relatively independent of HR), whereas epsilon( sys) reflects changes in SV, as measured by stroke volume and contractility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Validation of a New Ultrasound Method for the Simultaneous Assessment of Radial and Longitudinal Myocardial Deformation Independent of Insonation Angle
Stian Langeland,Jan D'hooge,Patrick Wouters,H. Alex Leather,Piet Claus,Bart Bijnens,George R. Sutherland +6 more
TL;DR: It was shown that the current problem of angle dependency was solved and that 2 deformation components could be estimated simultaneously and accurately and that the technique was less time-consuming, because anatomic tracking was performed automatically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infective endocarditis: changing epidemiology and predictors of 6-month mortality : a prospective cohort study
Evelyn Hill,Paul Herijgers,Piet Claus,Steven Vanderschueren,Marie-Christine Herregods,Willy Peetermans +5 more
TL;DR: Age, staphylococci, and a contraindication to surgery predicted 6-month mortality, and compared with older series, the authors observed more prosthetic valve IE, nosocomial IE, and surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue Tracking Technology for Assessing Cardiac Mechanics: Principles, Normal Values, and Clinical Applications
TL;DR: An overview of the normal values and reproducibility of the clinically applicable parameters, together with their clinical validation are provided, and the additive value to current imaging diagnostics are discussed.
