… Both CCT and RT3DE measurements resulted in high correlation (r 2 >0.85) compared with
CMR. However, CCT significantly overestimated end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (26 …

Objectives : We sought to study: 1) the accuracy and reproducibility of real-time 3-dimensional
echocardiographic (RT3DE) analysis of left ventricular (LV) volumes in a multicenter …

… While 2D-STE correlated well with CMR (r: 0.72–0.88), it underestimated LV volumes with
relatively large biases (10–30 mL) and wide limits of agreement (SD: 36–51 mL), with A2C-…

Objectives : We undertook volumetric analysis of the right ventricle (RV) by real-time 3-dimensional
echocardiography (RT3DE), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and cardiac …

… 3DE-derived LAV values showed higher correlation with CMR than 2DE measurements (r
= 0.93 vs. r = 0.74 for maximal LAV; r = 0.88 vs. r = 0.82 for minimal LAV). Although 2DE …

… Drs Steringer-Mascherbauer and Bojic and Ms Tufaro have reported that no potential
conflicts of interest exist with any companies/organizations whose products or services may be …

Although 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography has been shown to be
useful in the assessment of regional left ventricular function, it is limited by the assumption that …

Background Treprostinil, a prostacyclin analogue, is effective for the treatment of pulmonary
arterial hypertension. However, information is scarce regarding treprostinil for treatment of …

Background In this multi-centre, randomised, placebo-controlled pilot trial, we investigated the
clinical and haemodynamic effects of the endothelin-receptor blocker Bosentan in patients …

Aims The presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) severely aggravates the clinical course
of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). To date, neither established heart …
