TLDR
The timing of contraction and the contraction pattern of both septal and posterior wall in patients with W.P.W. syndrome is studied to gain information about the timing of excitation.
Abstract
By echocardiography it is possible to localize both septal and left ventricular posterior wall motion during the cardiac cycle 1)–3). Timing of contraction of any part of the heart is effected by timing of excitation of that particular area. We studied the timing of contraction and the contraction pattern of both septal and posterior wall in patients with W.P.W. syndrome, to gain information about the timing of excitation.

Ultrasonic Cardiac Echography for Determining Stroke Volume and Valvular Regurgitation

TL;DR: Preliminary studies suggest that the severity of valvular regurgitation can be estimated by utilizing ultrasound echocardiography, and it is suggested that these echographic determinations of stroke volume are an atraumatic, safe, and acceptable method in patients withoutValvular Regurgitation.

TL;DR: The changes following procaine amide, quinidine gluconate, and ajmaline were clearly short term; their effects disappeared after one hour in 15 of the 16 patients studied.

Detection of Left Ventricular Asynergy by Echocardiography

TL;DR: Results of this correlative study indicate that M-mode echocardiographic scans can detect left ventricular asynergy and may possibly predict regional myocardial involvement in coronary artery disease.

Clinical applications of echocardiography.

TL;DR: All indications are that the use of ultrasound to examine the cardiovascular system, and especially the heart, should expand markedly in the near future and play an increasingly valuable role in clinical cardiology.
