It has been postulated that rotation of the left ventricular apex with respect to the base is a
component of normal systolic function in humans, but it has been difficult to measure it …

BACKGROUND Efficient early diastolic filling is essential for normal cardiac function. Diastolic
suction, as evidenced by a decreasing left ventricular pressure during early filling, could …

Objectives: to determine the prevalence of dyspnoea in older people at home, measure its
impact on function and quality of life, and identify associated cardio‐respiratory diseases. …

Objectives. This study examined whether the correlation of systolic wall thickening (%WT)
by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging with wall thickening by sonomicrometry (SM) …

Objective: The aim was to investigate the generation of rotation of the left ventricular apex
with respect to the base by magnetic resonance tagging, a non-invasive method of labelling …

BACKGROUND Measurement of regional left ventricular (LV) function is predicted on the
ability to compare equivalent LV segments at different time points during the cardiac cycle. …

Objectives: to determine the prevalence of diastolic heart failure in older people in the
community, identify associated risk factors and measure its impact on function and quality of life. …

A 28-year-old woman presented in the second trimester of pregnancy with palpitations and
left heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography showed features consistent with isolated …

Several reports exist of the co-occurrence of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
and Marfan syndrome, including a report of ADPKD and “overlap” connective …

Objective—(a) To develop an assay for streptokinase resistance. (b) To determine the
prevalence of streptokinase resistance in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction for …
