Accurate Modeling of Ejection Fraction and Stroke Volume With Mobile Phone Auscultation: Prospective Case-Control Study

Accurate Modeling of Ejection Fraction and Stroke Volume With Mobile Phone Auscultation: Prospective Case-Control Study

LVEF, the percentage of blood in the left ventricle that exits into the aorta during a cardiac cycle, is determined using various imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear cardiology, or cardiac catheterization [1,4,5]. Thus, the classification of HF depends on the accurate determination of LVEF using expensive diagnostic methods obtained in outpatient or inpatient settings [6,7].

Simultaneous Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Echocardiography for Investigation of Cardiopulmonary Dysfunction in Outpatients: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Simultaneous Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and Echocardiography for Investigation of Cardiopulmonary Dysfunction in Outpatients: Protocol for a Scoping Review

In the outpatient setting, the investigation of cardiopulmonary dysfunction often involves a series of single-organ assessment tools such as computed tomography imaging of the lung, complex lung function testing, and transthoracic echocardiography. These single-organ, static investigations provide little insight into cardiopulmonary performance when under physiological (eg, exercise) or pathological (eg, sepsis) stress [18,19].

A Patient Similarity Network (CHDmap) to Predict Outcomes After Congenital Heart Surgery: Development and Validation Study

A Patient Similarity Network (CHDmap) to Predict Outcomes After Congenital Heart Surgery: Development and Validation Study

In addition to preoperative echocardiography reports that described the CHD conditions, the following patient and surgical characteristics were also collected: age, sex, height, weight, preoperative oxygen saturation of the right-upper limb, surgery time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, mechanical ventilation time, duration of postoperative hospital stay, duration of ICU stay, and postoperative complications (the detailed definitions of postoperative complications are shown in Table

Effects of a 20-Week High-Intensity Strength Training Program on Muscle Strength Gain and Cardiac Adaptation in Untrained Men: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Study

Effects of a 20-Week High-Intensity Strength Training Program on Muscle Strength Gain and Cardiac Adaptation in Untrained Men: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Study

One possible reason for this is the technical challenge of accurately imaging the complex RV structure using conventional echocardiography [9], which is the preferred imaging modality for studying an athlete’s heart. Cross-sectional studies using novel techniques such as 3 D echocardiography have demonstrated that RV enlargement is more prevalent in endurance athletes compared to strength athletes.

Clinical Validation of an Artificial Intelligence–Based Tool for Automatic Estimation of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Strain in Echocardiography: Protocol for a Two-Phase Prospective Cohort Study

Clinical Validation of an Artificial Intelligence–Based Tool for Automatic Estimation of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Strain in Echocardiography: Protocol for a Two-Phase Prospective Cohort Study

Echocardiography (ECHO) is a type of ultrasonographic scan used for examining the cardiac function and morphology [1]. Due to the practicality of image acquisition, relatively low cost, and little-to-no-risks for the patient, ECHO remains the most widely used cardiac imaging examination [2].

Diagnosing Preclinical Cardiac Dysfunction in Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivors: Protocol for a Single-Center Cohort Study

Diagnosing Preclinical Cardiac Dysfunction in Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivors: Protocol for a Single-Center Cohort Study

The North American study also found that a further 32% of survivors with otherwise normal conventional echocardiography showed evidence of cardiac dysfunction with abnormal strain measurements by speckle tracking echocardiography, a novel echocardiographic technique [7]. Additional studies have also suggested that speckle tracking echocardiography might be more sensitive to preclinical cardiac dysfunction than conventional echocardiography in CCS [11,12].
