Right ventricular function in infants, children and adolescents: reference values of the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) in 640 healthy patients and calculation of z score values.

5 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is an echocardiographic measurement to assess right ventricular systolic function in adults. The aim of this study was to determine growth-related changes in TAPSE to establish ... Read more...

Differences in collagen cross-linking between the four valves of the bovine heart: a possible role in adaptation to mechanical fatigue.

25 Mar 2009 Hydrothermal isometric tension (HIT) testing and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to assess the molecular stability and cross-link population of collagen in the four valves of the adult bovine heart. Untreated and NaBH(4)-treated ... Read more...

The impact of ageing on right ventricular longitudinal function in healthy subjects: a pulsed tissue Doppler study.

8 Dec 2008 AIMS: To evaluate the influence of age on pulsed Tissue Doppler-derived measurements of right ventricular (RV) tricuspid annulus in a population of healthy subjects and to propose reference values according to age decades. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two ... Read more...
