Speckle-tracking echocardiography: A new technique for assessing myocardial function
Sergio Mondillo,Maurizio Galderisi,Donato Mele,Matteo Cameli,Vincenzo Schiano Lomoriello,Valerio Zacà,Piercarlo Ballo,Antonello D'Andrea,Denisa Muraru,Mariangela Losi,Eustachio Agricola,Arcangelo D'Errico,Simona Buralli,Susanna Sciomer,Stefano Nistri,Luigi P. Badano +15 more
TL;DR: The fundamental concepts of speckle‐tracking echocardiography are described, how to obtain strain measurements using this technique is illustrated, and their recognized and developing clinical applications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute heart failure
Marco Metra,G. Michael Felker,Valerio Zacà,Silvia Bugatti,Carlo Lombardi,Luca Bettari,Adriaan A. Voors,Mihai Gheorghiade,Livio Dei Cas +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the public health burden of acute heart failure (AHF) continues to grow, with an increasing prevalence worldwide, and neither traditional therapies nor attempts at novel therapies definitively improve outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and Functional Adaptation of Left and Right Atria Induced by Training in Highly Trained Female Athletes
Flavio D'Ascenzi,Antonio Pelliccia,Benedetta Maria Natali,Valerio Zacà,Matteo Cameli,Federico Alvino,Angela Malandrino,Paola Palmitesta,Alessandro Zorzi,Domenico Corrado,Marco Bonifazi,Sergio Mondillo +11 more
TL;DR: Neither biventricular E/e′ ratio nor bi atrial stiffness changed after training, suggesting that biatrial remodeling occurs in a model of volume rather than pressure overload.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute heart failure: Multiple clinical profiles and mechanisms require tailored therapy
Marco Metra,G. Michael Felker,Valerio Zacà,Silvia Bugatti,Carlo Lombardi,Luca Bettari,A. A. Voors,Mihai Gheorghiade,Livio Dei Cas +8 more
TL;DR: Some of the main clinical presentations of acute HF are described, which will consider de novo HF versus acutely decompensated chronic HF, HF caused, and/or worsened, by myocardial ischemia, acute HF with low, normal, or high systolic blood pressure.
Supernormal diastolic function and role of left atrial myocardialdeformation analysis by 2d speckle tracking echocardiography in elite soccer players
Flavio D'Ascenzi,Matteo Cameli,Monica Lisi,Valerio Zacà,Antonio Santoro,A. Causarano,Sergio Mondillo +6 more
TL;DR: DTI is a useful tool to analyze the improved myocardial diastolic properties of athletes and STE may elucidate the role of LA in the context of athlete's heart remodeling.
