Ischemic heart disease and regional left ventricular wall motion: a study comparing radial, centerline and a video intensity based slope technique

Abstract

Left ventricular regional wall motion in ischemic heart disease was evaluated and compared using three different methods based on radiographic ventriculograms. Radial method uses an internal reference system, and centerline method employs an external reference system, both methods are based on two frame analysis. The last method, an automated video intensity technique, analyzes on a frame by frame basis utilizing an external reference system. A total of 42 patients were included in the study, of these 12 had a history of myocardial infarction. Significant coronary artery stenosis was defined as 50% measured diameter reduction. Right coronary artery (29/42) was most commonly involved. Single vessel disease was present in 18 patients, two vessel disease in 15 and three vessel disease in eight patients. The radial method detected abnormal wall motion in 16/42 patients, centerline method yielded a detection accuracy of 22/42 and with the new technique, asynchrony was noted in 39/42 patients. All three methods detected regional wall motion abnormalities with a higher sensitivity in patients with prior myocardial infarction. The centerline method had highest sensitivity for the right coronary artery bed (55%). The radial method (45%)...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.
