Abstract

It has been shown previously that in normal subjects the interventricular septum imaged in the long-axis view (LAX) and the left ventricular posterior wall imaged in both the LAX and the short-axis view (SAX) exhibit cyclic variation of integrated backscatter (IB) throughout the cardiac cycle, with maximum values occurring at end diastole (ED) and minimum at end systole (ES). The ability to demonstrate this cyclic variation within these myocardial regions in only two ultrasonic views has limited the potential clinical utility of an IB imaging system. To determine whether clinically useful information on the variation of IB is available from different myocardial regions in different ultrasonic views, we measured ED to ES variation of IB from the parasternal and apical views in normal subjects with a radiofrequency acquisition technique. Two independent clinical observers analyzed ED to ES variation of IB from 14 normal volunteers (mean age 32 +/- 6 years; range 21 to 45 years) in reconstructed two-dimensional ultrasonic images obtained from the parasternal LAX and SAX and apical two-chamber (2C) and four-chamber (4C) views. ED to ES variation of IB was measured from manually traced regions of interest (ROI) within the myocardium...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
