Abstract

Assessment of the systolic function of the right ventricle (RV) in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is important. The asymmetric shape and heavy trabeculations make accurate assessment of RV systolic function challenging. Novel measures of RV function could be helpful in distinguishing reduced versus preserved function in HLHS and may also be worse in HLHS with preserved function compared to normal controls. These novel methods offer promise, but research and clinical applicability is hindered as no cut-off values for normal function have been established. We performed a retrospective comparison of functional assessments from echocardiograms of HLHS patients with preserved and reduced RV function along with a control group of normal patients. Measures of function included fractional area change (FAC), tissue motion annular displacement of the tricuspid (TMAD-TV) and pulmonary valves (TMAD-PV), myocardial performance index (MPI), tricuspid tissue Doppler S' velocity, and RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS). Comparisons were made between three groups: normal patients, HLHS with preserved function, and HLHS with reduced function defined as FAC < 35%. FAC was chosen as the reference as it is a historical stand...Continue Reading

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.
