Three and two dimensional cardiac mechanics by speckle tracking are predictors of outcomes in chagas heart disease

ABSTRACT: Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected infectious disease associated with early mortality and substantial disability. Three-dimensional speckle tracking (3D STE) may play a role in the evaluation of CD. We aim to characterize new echocardiographic variables in patients with CD and to assess the hyp...

Left atrial function analysis in patients with functional mitral regurgitation associated with dilated cardiomyopathy

ABC., imagem cardiovasc; 35 (2), 2022
BACKGROUND: Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DC), heart failure (HF), and worsening left atrial function (LAF). Patients with DC and FMR may present left atrial dysfunction resulting from both ventricular dysfunction and valve disease, but it is unknown whe...

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with left bundle branch block and preserved ejection fraction

BACKGROUND: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) has prognostic significance in patients with congestive heart failure. However, its influence is not well established in patients with preserved systolic ventricular function. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the implications of LBBB presence in the cardiovascular perfor...
