Results: Thirty out of 189 infants had prolonged exposure to a PDA. The left heart remodeled to a larger and more spherical shape and thus significantly increased in volume. Most changes occurred in the first 4 weeks, plateaued, and then returned to control values. Systolic function and estimates of filling pressure increased and effective arterial elastance reduced with a PDA, however contractility was unchanged. Wall thickness increased after 4 weeks of increased volume exposure. Conclusion: The preterm PDA induces early and significant remodeling of the left heart. A compensated cardiac physiology was seen with preserved systolic function, suggesting adaptive rather than pathological remodeling changes with prolonged exposure to a PDA.]]> Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:14:02 AEDT ]]> Echocardiographic determination of pulmonary arterial capacitance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38110 Wed 04 Aug 2021 09:52:29 AEST ]]> Superior vena cava flow: role, assessment and controversies in the management of perinatal perfusion https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40860 Tue 19 Jul 2022 13:56:28 AEST ]]> Cardiac remodeling during the neonatal intensive care period; a window of opportunity for early prevention of heart failure? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38193 Thu 26 Aug 2021 09:23:08 AEST ]]> Left atrium function and deformation in very preterm infants with and without volume load https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43241 Thu 15 Sep 2022 10:10:25 AEST ]]> Functional echocardiography; from physiology to treatment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9679 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:14 AEDT ]]> Transitional hemodynamics in preterm infants with a respiratory management strategy directed at avoidance of mechanical ventilation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18870 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:14 AEDT ]]> Weight corrected percentiles for blood vessel diameters used in flow measurements in preterm infants https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18369 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:38 AEDT ]]> Left ventricular vortex formation in preterm infants assessed by blood speckle imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46963 R +0.42, +0.50, +0.47, +0.50, all P < 0.01), and transmitral Vti (R +0.37, P < 0.01). PVFT correlated negatively with E, EA, and Ee' (R -0.42, -0.47, -0.47, all P < 0.01). Conclusion: Left ventricle vortex formation can be analyzed with two-dimensional BSI and has the potential to complement existing parameters of cardiac health.]]> Mon 12 Dec 2022 15:23:31 AEDT ]]> A comparison between Philips and Tomtec for left ventricular deformation and volume measurements in neonatal intensive care patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42822 Mon 05 Sep 2022 11:49:26 AEST ]]> Galectin-3 is associated with Stage B metabolic heart disease and pulmonary hypertension in young obese patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42185 P<0.001). GAL3 levels were higher in MHD‐POS versus MHD‐NEG patients (7.7±2.3 versus 6.3±1.9 ng/mL, respectively; P<0.001). Both GAL3 and FSTL3 levels correlated with diastolic dysfunction and increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure but not with left ventricular mass. In multivariate models including all 3 biomarkers, only GAL3 remained associated with MHD (odds ratio: 1.30; 95% CI, 1.01–1.68; P=0.04). Conclusions: In young obese individuals without known cardiovascular disease, GAL3 is associated with the presence of preclinical MHD. GAL3 may be useful in screening for preclinical MHD and identifying individuals with increased risk of progression to obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 08:26:42 AEST ]]> Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure in preterm infants https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46160 Fri 11 Nov 2022 19:20:09 AEDT ]]> Outcomes of echocardiography-detected rheumatic heart disease: Validating a simplified score in cohorts from different countries https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49806 Fri 02 Jun 2023 17:00:09 AEST ]]>
