Contribution of the left atrial remodeling to the elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with WHO Group...

Published in Journal of Echocardiography

BackgroundThe contribution of progressive left atrial (LA) enlargement to elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in patients with WHO Group II pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been well studied. We hypothesized that progressive LA enlargement is associated with increased PCWP.MethodsA cross-sectional retrospective cohort consisted of...

Noninvasive assessment of left-ventricular diastolic electromechanical coupling in hypertensive heart disease

Published in Journal of Echocardiography

BackgroundThere is a need to stratify patients who may develop heart failure because of the current “heart failure pandemic”. We hypothesized that noninvasive assessment of diastolic electromechanical coupling by electrocardiography and Doppler echocardiography may be clinically useful for risk stratification of hypertensive patients who may develo...

Prognostic significance of residual functional mitral regurgitation in hospitalized heart failure patients with chronic ...

Published in Journal of Echocardiography

BackgroundFunctional mitral regurgitation (MR) can be seen in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), even without left-ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, as a result of left atrial enlargement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of residual functional MR in hospitalized heart failure patients with chronic AF ...

Heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: assessment with echocardiography and effects of antihyperglycem...

Published in Journal of Echocardiography

Heart failure is one of the major cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Although active management for heart failure is needed in patients with T2DM, traditional treatment and some new class of antihyperglycemic drugs, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor...
