Aims: The purpose of the present study was to assess the evolution of left ventricular (LV) function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) during 1 year follow-up. In addition, patients were divided in groups with early, late, or no improvement of LV function and predictors of recovery of LV function were established. Methods and results: A total of 341 patients with AMI were evaluated. Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed at bas... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 106, Issue 2, 9 2 2010, Pages 198-203 Predictive value of total atrial conduction time estimated with tissue Doppler imaging for the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation after acute myocardial infarction. Antoni ML, Bertini M, Atary JZ, Delgado V, ten Brinke EA, Boersma E, Holman ER, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, van de Veire NR
Patients who develop new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) show an increased risk for adverse events and mortality during follow-up. Recently, a novel noninvasive echocardiographic method has been validated for the estimation of total atrial activation time using tissue Doppler imaging of the atria (PA-TDI duration). PA-TDI duration has shown to be independently predictive of new-onset AF. However, whether PA-TDI duration provides predictive value for new-ons... Abstract

Aims: Recently, strain and strain rate have been introduced as novel parameters reflecting left ventricular (LV) function. The purpose of the current study was to assess the prognostic importance of strain and strain rate after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and results: A total of 659 patients after AMI were evaluated. Baseline echocardiography was performed to assess LV function with traditional parameters and strain and strain rate. During follow-up, 51 patients (8%) reached the p... Abstract

Antoni ML, Scherptong RW, Atary JZ, Boersma E, Holman ER, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Background: Data on the association between right ventricular (RV) function and adverse events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are scarce. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relation between RV function and adverse events in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for AMI. Methods and results: Consecutive patients admitted with AMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention underwent echocardiography within 48 hours of admission to... Abstract

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Volume 140, Issue 4, 1 1 2010, Pages 807-815 Noninvasive estimation of left ventricular filling pressures in patients with heart failure after surgical ventricular restoration and restrictive mitral annuloplasty. ten Brinke EA, Bertini M, Klautz RJ, Antoni ML, Holman ER, van de Veire NR, Bax JJ, Steendijk P
Objective: Doppler echocardiography, including tissue Doppler imaging, is widely applied to assess diastolic left ventricular function using early transmitral flow velocity combined with mitral annular velocity as a noninvasive estimate of left ventricular filling pressures. However, the accuracy of early transmitral flow velocity/mitral annular velocity in patients with heart failure, particularly after extensive cardiac surgery, is debated. Global diastolic strain rate during isovolumic relaxa... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 105, Issue 5, 22 4 2010, Pages 592-597 Incremental prognostic value of novel left ventricular diastolic indexes for prediction of clinical outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Shanks M, Ng AC, van de Veire NR, Antoni ML, Bertini M, Delgado V, Nucifora G, Holman ER, Choy JB, Leung DY, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
This study examined the prognostic value of novel diastolic indexes in ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI), derived from strain and strain rate analysis using 2-dimensional speckle tracking imaging. Echocardiograms were obtained within 48 hours of admission in 371 consecutive patients with first ST-elevation AMI (59.7 +/- 11.6 years old). Indexes of diastolic function including mean strain rate during isovolumic relaxation (SR(IVR)), mean early diastolic strain rate (SR(E)) and mean d... Abstract

Mollema SA, Delgado V, Bertini M, Antoni ML, Boersma E, Holman ER, Stokkel MP, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Background: The extent of viable myocardial tissue is recognized as a major determinant of recovery of left ventricular (LV) function after myocardial infarction. In the current study, the role of global LV strain assessed with novel automated function imaging (AFI) to predict functional recovery after acute infarction was evaluated. Methods and results: A total of 147 patients (mean age, 61+/-11 years) admitted for acute myocardial infarction were included. All patients underwent 2D echocardiog... Abstract

The relation between cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and regional strain in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was investigated. Furthermore, the effect of symptoms-to-balloon time on impairment in regional strain after AMI was evaluated. A total of 157 consecutive patients with AMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were included.

Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, Volume 16, Issue 10, 1 1 2005, Pages 1097-1103 Validation of ECG indices of ventricular repolarization heterogeneity: a computer simulation study. Van Huysduynen BH, Swenne CA, Draisma HH, Antoni ML, Van De Vooren H, Van Der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Introduction: Repolarization heterogeneity (RH) is functionally linked to dispersion in refractoriness and to arrhythmogenicity. In the current study, we validate several proposed electrocardiogram (ECG) indices for RH: T-wave amplitude, -area, -complexity, and -symmetry ratio, QT dispersion, and the Tapex-end interval (the latter being an index of transmural dispersion of the repolarization (TDR)). Methods and results: We used ECGSIM, a mathematical simulation model of ECG genesis in a human th... Abstract
