Focused cardiac ultrasonography is a point-of-care, qualitative or semiquantitative means of assessing cardiac size, structure, and function that is performed and interpreted by the clinician at the ...

Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...
