This study showed that a higher plasma BNP was associated with a lower LAA flow velocity in patients with NV-AF and normal LV systolic function. The plasma BNP may complement the role of the CHADS score in predicting lower LAA flow velocity.
We conclude that the analysis of diastolic CK by using ICK software is a useful technique that can be applied to quantitative evaluation of LV global diastolic function.
The analysis of diastolic CK with ICK software is a useful method for detecting delayed early diastolic relaxation. We concluded that diastolic CK images may be applied to differentiating between normal and pseudonormalized patterns of LV inflow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
