Prediction of all-cause mortality from global longitudinal speckle strain: comparison with ejection fraction and wall motion scoring.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared global longitudinal speckle strain (GLS), an automated technique for measurement of longaxis function, with ejection fraction (EF) and wall motion score index (WMSI) for the prediction of mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations of Left Ventricular Myocardial Characteristics Associated With Obesity
Chiew Wong,Trisha O'Moore-Sullivan,Rodel Leano,Nuala M. Byrne,Elaine Beller,Thomas H. Marwick +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors sought whether body mass index (BMI) and insulin levels were associated with subclinical myocardial disturbances, evidenced by lower average longaxis strain, sm, cIB, lower CVIB, and reduced em, whereas LV ejection fraction remained normal.

Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial strain measurement with 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography: definition of normal range.
Thomas H. Marwick,Rodel Leano,Joseph Brown,Jing Ping Sun,Rainer Hoffmann,Peter Lysyansky,Michael Becker,James D. Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: This multicenter study of nearly 250 volunteers without evidence of cardiovascular disease showed an average LV peak systolic strain of -18.6 +/- 0.1% and there was significant segmental variation of regional strain to necessitate the use of site-specific normal ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Aldosterone Antagonism on Myocardial Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients With Diastolic Heart Failure
Philip M. Mottram,Brian Haluska,Rodel Leano,Diane Cowley,Michael Stowasser,Thomas H. Marwick +5 more
TL;DR: Aldosterone antagonism improves myocardial function in hypertensive heart disease by using sensitive quantitative echocardiographic techniques in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
