Left ventricular structural abnormalities in the assessment of diastolic function in the elderly: source of discrepancies between the 2009 and 2016 criteria
Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is routinely evaluated in echocardiography to support diagnosis, prognostication, and management of heart failure, a condition highly prevalent in elderly patients. Clinical guidelin...

Reproducibility of right ventricular function by longitudinal strain and other echocardiographic parameters in the ELSA-Brasil study
Right ventricular (RV) free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS), and four-chamber longitudinal strain (RV4CLS) using speckle tracking echocardiography have demonstrated increased accuracy and discrimination to m...

Prognostic value of right ventricular strain and peak oxygen consumption in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Our purpose is to evaluate the combined predictive value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) strain in predicting morta...

Right ventricular function during trastuzumab therapy for breast cancer
Cardiotoxicity (CDT) is the main adverse effect related to trastuzumab (TTZ). The role of the right ventricle (RV) in this context is not clear. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal changes in RV function dur...

Epicardial fat thickness: distribution and association with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and the metabolic syndrome in the ELSA-Brasil study
Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) has emerged as a marker of cardiometabolic risk, but its clinical use warrants proper knowledge of its distribution and associations in populations. We aimed to describe the dist...

Open AccessEchocardiography-based left ventricular mass estimation. How should we define hypertrophy?
Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease and echocardiography has been widely used for diagnosis. Although an adequate methodologic standardization exists currently, d...
