This study demonstrates that right ventricular strain and strain rate were lower in patients with left ventricular inferior wall myocardial infarction with, compared to without, right ventricular infarction.

S and Sr imaging can be considered a robust technique for the assessment of the LAA systolic deformation.

Our findings suggest that LMWH might be a better option in the management of the patients with massive PTE. Multi-center larger randomized controlled trials are required to confirm our results.

New, reliable, rapid, and easy-to-use methods that display high specificity and sensitivity are required for an effective struggle against tuberculosis. According to these results, we suggest that GeneXpert MTB/RIF is a rapid and reliable system, and when used in company with conventional tests, it would make significant contributions to the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

PW tissue Doppler echocardiographic approach during TEE may be suitable for assessment of the left ventricular function.
