Division of Cardiology, University of California Irvine School of Medicine, Irvine, California, USA
J Am Coll Cardiol 49:1334-9. 2007..The purpose of this study was to investigate the cause of abnormal left ventricular (LV) Doppler diastolic filling characteristics in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)...
Left ventricular strain and strain rate by 2D speckle tracking in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after pulmonary thromboendarterectomyNicholas Olson
Division of Cardiology, University of California San Diego Medical Center, 200 W Arbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92103, USA
Cardiovasc Ultrasound 8:43. 2010....
Does lowering pulmonary arterial pressure eliminate severe functional tricuspid regurgitation? Insights from pulmonary thromboendarterectomyH Mehrdad Sadeghi
Division of Cardiology, University of California San Diego Medical Center, San Diego, California, USA
J Am Coll Cardiol 44:126-32. 2004..Because pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) can result in an immediate reduction in pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, we sought to evaluate the effect of PTE on severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) without tricuspid annuloplasty...
Correlation of left ventricular diastolic filling characteristics with right ventricular overload and pulmonary artery pressure in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensionEhtisham Mahmud
Division of Cardiology, School of Medicine, University of California-San Diego, 200 West Arbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92103-8411, USA
J Am Coll Cardiol 40:318-24. 2002..Moreover, E/A varies inversely with mPAP and directly with CO. Following PTE, E/A >1.5 correlates with the absence of severe pulmonary hypertension (mPAP >35 mm Hg) and the presence of normal cardiac output (> 5.0 l/m)...
Usefulness of compensatory hyperkinesis in the noninfarcted left ventricular wall in separating single from multivessel coronary artery disease in patients with initial ST-elevation acute myocardial infarctionSwaminatha V Gurudevan
Division of Cardiology, University of California San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego, California 92103-8411, USA
Am J Cardiol 93:201-3. 2004..Compensatory hyperkinesis, which we defined as a fractional thickening of >/=60% in the contralateral wall, was a strong predictor of single-vessel coronary artery disease, with a positive predictive value of 85%...
Assessment of diastolic function with Doppler tissue imaging after cardiac surgery: effect of the "postoperative septum" in on-pump and off-pump proceduresPhilip J Malouf
Division of Cardiology, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego Medical Center, San Diego, California 92103-8411, USA
J Am Soc Echocardiogr 19:464-7. 2006..Measuring lateral segment velocity is recommended for diastolic DTI after cardiopulmonary bypass, as septal DTI may incorrectly suggest diastolic dysfunction...

Am Fam Physician 83:61-8. 2011..Referral to a cardiologist is warranted in patients who have complex cardiac disease; who are symptomatic on or unable to tolerate pharmacologic rate control; or who may be candidates for ablation or surgical interventions...
Elongated eustachian valve dividing the right atriumDylan E Wessman
Department of Cardiology, Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA 92134 3303, USA
Echocardiography 28:E53-5. 2011..The contrast material also crossed the interatrial septum within two cardiac cycles. This constellation of findings is consistent with an elongated eustachian valve and a patent foramen ovale...
