Multilayer global longitudinal strain in patients with cancer: A comparison of two vendors.

Background: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) has several sources of variation. Strain multilayer tracking is a new tool that has not yet been validated in clinical practice.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate intervendor variability when measuring multilayer strain in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.

Relationship between cognitive impairment and echocardiographic parameters: a review.

With >24 million people affected worldwide, dementia is one of the main public health challenges modern medicine has to face. The path leading to dementia is often long, with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, and preceded by a long preclinical phase. Previous studies have demonstrated that clinical strokes and covert vascular lesions of the brain contribute to the risk for developing dementia.

Periodontal disease: a new factor associated with the presence of multiple complex coronary lesions.

Background And Aim: Periodontal disease, including bone loss, is thought to be involved in coronary artery disease. Multiple complex coronary lesions relate to multifocal destabilization of coronary plaques. We investigated whether bone loss could be associated with the presence of multiple complex coronary lesions.
