To assess soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) serum concentrations and predict mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).We prospectively enrolled 74 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVI and matched them to patients without aortic valve disease (n=74). AS patients underwent comprehensive echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic...
PurposeMyocardial strain and strain rate (SR) can be derived from either tissue Doppler (TDI) information or two‐dimensional speckle tracking. As conventional TDI analysis (TDI‐manual) is time‐consuming with poor reproducibility, we developed a faster semiautomated approach (TDI‐ST). We aimed to study the comparability of TDI‐ST with TDI‐manual, an established method for measuring strain and SR.
