Echocardiogram (echo). This noninvasive test uses sound waves to evaluate the heart's chambers and valves. The echo sound waves create an image on a monitor as an ultrasound transducer is passed over ...

We aimed to describe the incidence of new CMBs after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR ... an axial diffusion-weighted imaging sequence (repetition time, 4600 ms; echo time, 100 ms; slice ...

Follow-up was commenced on the day of the index echocardiography. All patients underwent a ... younger patients with less comorbidities and higher prevalence of bicuspid valve than those patients ...

Background The diagnosis and quantification of right-to-left shunt (RLS) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as well as transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) have not been well established.

Congenitally bicuspid aortic valves are less efficient than tricuspid valves at ... Progression of the valvar stenosis is principally monitored with Doppler echocardiography, although complementary ...

Simulations using post-TAVR CT imaging show that redo-TAV is more feasible in patients with bicuspid aortic valves compared to tricuspid aortic valves, according to new research published in JACC: ...

Bicuspid aortic valve, whereby the aortic valve forms with two instead of three cusps, is the most common cause of AS in younger patients due to primary anatomic narrowing of the valve. In addition, ...

comparable to that of most clinically used echocardiography-based measurements. A recent catheterisation study reported that a significant transmitral valve gradient is commonly seen in patients with ...

But what do the ECHO's writers think? Here are our line-ups for Everton's trip to Craven Cottage. David Moyes brought Dominic Calvert-Lewin on with reluctance last week. The striker is still ...
