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.

Improved Markers of Diastolic Function – AVIM-treated patients showed marked improvements in critical Echo measures, ...

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 ...
