Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) systolic global function can be assessed by peak annular systolic velocity S'. Global longitudinal strain rate (GLSR) is relative LV shortening rate, equivalent to normalizing S' for LV length (S'n ). It has previously been shown that mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) have similar biological variability, but GLS normalizes for one dimension only, inducing a systematic error, increasing body size dependence. The objective of this study was to compare S' with GLSR in the same way, comparing biological variability and body size dependence. A total of 1266 subjects from the third wave of Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT), without evidence of heart disease, were examined. Strain rate, S' and wall lengths were measured in the four walls of the two- and four-chamber views. Mean S' was 8.4 (1.4) cm/s, (S'n ) was 0.7 (0.14)s-1 and GLSR 1.02 (0.14)s-1 . All measures declined with age. Normalization of mitral annular velocities for LV length, or the use of GLSR, did not reduce overall biological variability compared with S'. S' did show a weak, positive correlation to BSA, while S'n and GLSR a slightly stronger, negative correlation to BSA. S', S'n , and GLSR have s...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
