Acute physical activity leads to several changes in metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune
pathways. Although studies have examined selected changes in these pathways, the system-…

In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in the study of the right ventricle. It is now
well established that right ventricular function is a strong predictor of mortality, not only in …

Background There is currently controversy over whether echocardiography provides reliable
estimations of pulmonary pressures. The objective of this study was to determine the factors …

Background— Right ventricular (RV) end-systolic dimensions provide information on both
size and function. We investigated whether an internally scaled index of end-systolic …

Despite progressive improvements over the decades, the rich temporally resolved data in an
