Additional Notes

Popescu et al. 2010 Case–control Level 3 D&B = 19 2D-STE**

No

Time to peak apical untwisting rate was longer in those with aortic stenosis.

Tzemos et al. 2008 Case–control Level 3 D&B = 19 2D-VVI *

Yes

  

    

Sample comprised of women.

Stuber et al. 1999 Case–control Level 3 D&B = 17 MRI Tagging

No

 

  

Time to peak apical untwisting velocity was increased in those with aortic stenosis.

Van Dalen et al. 2011

  1. D & B; Downs and Black score, MRI; magnetic resonance imaging, 2D-STE; two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, 2D-VVI; two dimensional velocity vector imaging, ***indicates that mitral leaflets and luminal obliteration were used for identifying the basal and apical images respectively, **indicates that mitral leaflets and location inferior to papillary muscle were used for identifying the basal and apical images respectively, * indicates that land marking for short axis images was poorly described, ; significant increase in heart disease group as compared to healthy controls, significant decrease in heart disease group as compared to healthy controls, ; no significant difference between heart disease group as compared to healthy controls.
