Physiology of the third heart sound: novel insights from tissue Doppler imaging.

Journal Article J Am Soc Echocardiogr · April 2008 BACKGROUND: The third heart sound (S(3)) is thought to be caused by the abrupt deceleration of left ventricular (LV) inflow during early diastole, increased LV filling pressures, and decreased LV compliance. We sought to determine whether the ratio of earl ... Full text Link to item Cite

Performance of phonoelectrocardiographic left ventricular systolic time intervals and B-type natriuretic peptide levels in the diagnosis of left ventricular dysfunction.

Journal Article Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol · April 2007 BACKGROUND: Systolic time intervals measured by echocardiography and carotid artery tracings are validated methods of assessing left ventricular function. However, the clinical utility of phonoelectrocardiographic systolic time intervals for predicting hea ... Full text Link to item Cite

Diagnostic characteristics of combining phonocardiographic third heart sound and systolic time intervals for the prediction of left ventricular dysfunction.

Journal Article J Card Fail · February 2007 BACKGROUND: The third heart sound (S3) and systolic time intervals (STIs) are validated clinical indicators of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We investigated the test characteristics of a combined score summarizing S3 and STI results for predicting LV ... Full text Link to item Cite
