Does pulsed tissue Doppler identify subclinical myocardial biventricular dysfunction in active acromegaly?
In active acromegaly, pulsed TD confirms LV and RV diastolic abnormalities detectable by standard Doppler, additionally identifying subclinical biventricular impairment of systolic function.
These preliminary results suggest that specific behavioral measures of impulsivity may be associated with the ability to initiate and/or maintain abstinence from smoking among adolescent smokers.
