Echocardiography is a sensitive tool to detect early subclinical changes in LV function. Community-based studies revealed a higher than hitherto expected prevalence of LV systolic and diastolic ...

Echocardiography is the gold standard to ... presence of grade II diastolic dysfunction as compared to normal diastolic function is the presence of structural heart disease such as left atrial ...

The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic function, is an independent predictor of brain natriuretic peptide levels in the elderly without systolic ventricular dysfunction.

We have a state-of-the-art VEVO 3100 ECHO machine, an MX400 variable frequency (20-46MHz) probe, a temperature-controlled platform with EKG monitoring, and an anesthesia machine. We can measure ...

as well as echocardiography to assess stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), systolic blood pressure/end systolic volume ratio (sBP/ESV), and global diastolic filling (E:A) as well as to ...
