Ultrasound imaging versus morphopathology in cardiovascular diseases: the heart failure.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Accidental hypothermia is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Hypothermia has been reported to affect left ventricular systolic and diastolic function. However, most of the data come from animal experimental studies. AIM OF THE STUDY:The purpose of the present study was to ass...
