Methods The study included echocardiograms from men and women aged 40–69 years from two population-based studies, namely the Know Your Heart study (Russia) and the Tromsø Study (Norway). Two-dimensional (2D) global and segmental S/SR of the three myocardial layers were analysed using speckle tracking echocardiography.

Cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD), have become an epidemic in India. And following the valve implantation procedure, doctors assess the valve’s integrity and blood flow control through an echocardiogram. Shockingly, 9 out of every 1000 newborns are diagnosed with CHD annually.

Hospital Course The patient was taken emergently to the cath lab which did not reveal any significant coronary artery disease, but she was noted to have reduced EF consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Here is the cath report: Echocardiogram: There is severe hypokinesis of entire LV apex and apical segment of all the walls.

BackgroundThe acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a prevalent and severe cardiovascular disease, characterized by its sudden onset, high mortality rate, and unfavorable prognosis. Two groups of patients' age, gender, diabetes duration, merge disease, echocardiogram and blood biochemical indexes, had no statistical difference (P>0.05).
