Cross sectional echocardiographic assessment of cardiac chamber size and ejection fraction in children

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology
N H Silverman, N B Schiller

Abstract

Cross sectional echocardiography can be used to determine left ventricular size and ejection fraction in children. We used two orthogonal planes from the apical four and two chamber planes to calculate the left ventricular volume in 20 children with a variety of congenital heart lesions and compared these volumes with those calculated using angiography. Better correlations were achieved at end diastole than at end systole. Comparisons between ejection fraction calculated by angiography and echocardiography showed the correlation was closer for two-dimensional than M-mode techniques. Studies using newer two-dimensional methods suggest that an even closer correlation for volume and ejection fraction can be achieved than those reported in our initial studies. Most studies which have determined right ventricular volume have used biplane methods combining short axis and four chamber images. We used single plane area-length methods from parasternal short axis and apical four chamber planes to calculate right ventricular volume in 20 children undergoing angiocardiography for a variety of congenital heart diseases. The single plane volume method underestimated the volume calculated from angiography uniformly so that a good estimate of ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
