      Rosner, Assami; Diab, Simone Goa; McElhinney, Doff B.; Friedberg, Mark K.; Lui, George K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)
      Background - Morbidity and mortality increase as Fontan patients age into adulthood. Limited studies have examined cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiographic parameters to predict death and transplantation in children after the Fontan operation. The aim of this study was to investigate echocardiographic parameters in adolescents and adults after Fontan operation, including myocardial mechanics ...
    • Novel approach to artefact detection and the definition of normal ranges of segmental strain and strain-rate values

      Aims - Strain artefacts are known to hamper the correct interpretation of segmental strain and strain-rate (S/SR). Defining the normal ranges of myocardial segmental deformation is important in clinical studies and routine echocardiographic practice. In order to define artefact-free normal ranges for segmental longitudinal S/SR parameters, we investigated the extent to which different types of ...
