Left ventricular strain and strain rate in a general population (2008)

Kuznetsova, Tatiana, Herbots, Lieven, Richart, Tom, D'hooge, Jan, Thijs, Lutgarde, Fagard, Robert H., ...

Aims Strain and strain rate (SR) are measures of deformation that reflect left ventricular (LV) function. To our knowledge, no previous study described these indexes in a general population. We...

The potential clinical role of ultrasonic strain and strain rate imaging in diagnosing acute rejection after heart transplantation (2007)

Eroglu, Elif, Marciniak, Maciej, Sirbu, Cristina, Herbots, Lieven, Droogne, Walter, ...

BACKGROUND: There has been a continued search for a more sensitive noninvasive technique for detecting sub-clinical acute rejection in heart transplant recipients. Ultrasonic deformation imaging...

Autologous bone marrow-derived stem-cell transfer in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: double-blind, randomised controlled trial (2006)

Dubois, Christophe, ...

BACKGROUND: The benefit of reperfusion therapies for ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is limited by post-infarction left-ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Our aim was to investigate the...

Transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (2005)

Janssens, S, Dubois, CL, Bogaert, Jan; U0008711, Theunissen, Koen; U0032192, Derooze, C, Kalantzis, M, ...

Quantifying myocardial deformation throughout the cardiac cycle: a comparison of ultrasound strain rate, grey-scale M-mode and magnetic resonance imaging (2004)

Herbots, Lieven; U0041335, Maes, Frederik; U0007203, Claus, Piet; U0015250, Dymarkowski, Steven; U0016915, Mertens, P, ...

Strain rate imaging (SRI) is a new ultrasound (US) approach to the quantification of regional myocardial deformation. It previously has been validated in vitro and in vivo against other imaging...

Strain rate imaging in CRT candidates (2004)

Breithardt, Ole A., Herbots, Lieven, D'Hooge, Jan, Claus, Piet, Bijnens, Bart, Stellbrink, Christoph, ...

The recent introduction of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) revived the interest how to evaluate asynchrony. Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI) allows quantification of both regional myocardial...
