RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Shutian Wu, Biaohu Liu, Haiyun Fan, Yuxin Zhong, You Yang, Aling Yao
OBJECTIVE: Exploring the performance of ultrasound-based radiomics in forecasting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 1 year following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. METHODS: In this research, 161 ACS patients who underwent PCI were included (114 patients were randomly assigned to the training set and 47 patients to the validation set). Every patient received echocardiography 3-7 days after PCI and followed up for 1 year...

Cardiac compartmental size depends on sex, with smaller values found in (healthy) women compared to a matched group of men. Various types of heart disease may cause dilation of the affected chamber. For example, atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with enlarged left atrial (LA) size, often also implying increased left ventricular (LV) size. Sex-specific differences appear to persist during disease states. Thus, chamber volumes depend on both sex and the severity of the underlying disorder, and require quantification to evaluate the effect of interventions...

Marantic endocarditis is defined as a sterile endocarditis that is rarely encountered in clinical practice. This case series illustrates five cases of marantic endocarditis. All cases were diagnosed on trans thoracic echocardiography and verified on transesophageal echocardiography. The first three cases occur in the setting of antiphospholipid syndrome; the last two occur in the setting of advanced malignancy. Two cases were treated successfully with anticoagulation, while two others required valvular surgery...

Assessing aortic flow with doppler echocardiography in cardiogenic shock: A crucial diagnostic tool.
Mauro Riccardi, Dario S Cani, Matteo Pagnesi, Carlo M Lombardi, Marco Metra, Riccardo M Inciardi
PURPOSE: Cardiogenic shock still has a high mortality. In order to correctly manage these patients, it is useful to have available haemodynamic parameters, invasive and non-invasive. The aim of this review is to show the current evidence on the use of echocardiographic aortic flow assessment by left ventricular outflow tract - velocity time integral. METHODS: Publications relevant to the discussion of echocardiographic aortic flow assessment by left ventricular outflow tract - velocity time integral and cardiogenic shock, were retrieved from PubMed®...

BACKGROUND/AIM: Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction related to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve is a common complication of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). However, the mechanisms underlying SAM have not been fully characterized. The objective of the present study was to use three-dimensional echocardiography to identify anatomic features of the mitral valve that predispose to SAM during DSE. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients included prospectively in our database and who had undergone 3D echocardiography (including an assessment of the mitral valve) before DSE...

Mitral valve prolapse is a common valve disorder that usually has a benign prognosis unless there is significant regurgitation or LV impairment. However, a subset of patients are at an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, which has led to the recognition of "arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse" as a clinical entity. Emerging risk factors include mitral annular disjunction and myocardial fibrosis. While echocardiography remains the primary method of evaluation, cardiac magnetic resonance has become crucial in managing this condition...

Malignant melanoma (MM) is notorious for its high metastatic potential, with cardiac metastasis being particularly severe as it involves cardiac structures and can lead to significant cardiac functional issues. While there is no standardized treatment approach, early detection and intervention can improve prognosis.

Congenitally correct transposition of the great arteries (cc-TGA) is an extremely rare congenital cardiac malposition. It can be detected antenatally by echocardiography. This case report describes a 58-year-old female patient who presented with tachycardia. The combination of cc-TGA and isolated levocardia is incidentally diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

COMPARATIVE STUDY

PURPOSE: Left atrium to aortic root ratio (LA/Ao) is an echocardiographic marker of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Since 2-dimensional measurement of the ratio is geometrically limited, left atrial volume (LAV) which has 3-dimensional characteristics was investigated. The aim of this study was to determine a correlation between LA/Ao ratio and LAV as well as holodiastolic flow reversal in preterm neonates with and without a PDA. METHODS: A retrospective evaluation of neonates with and without PDA was performed...

BACKGROUND: Device-related thrombosis (DRT) is a common finding after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and is associated with worse outcomes. As women are underrepresented in clinical studies, further understanding of sex differences in DRT patients is warranted. METHODS AND RESULTS: This sub-analysis from the EUROC-DRT-registry compromises 176 patients with diagnosis of DRT after LAAC. Women, who accounted for 34.7% (61/176) of patients, were older (78.0 ± 6...

PURPOSE: The extraaortic-valvular cardiac damage (EVCD) Stage has shown potential for risk stratification for patients with aortic stenosis (AS). This study aimed to examine the usefulness of the EVCD Stage in risk stratification of patients with moderate AS and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS: Clinical data from patients with moderate AS (aortic valve area, .60-.85 cm2 /m2 ; peak aortic valve velocity, 2.0-4.0 m/s) and reduced LVEF (LVEF 20%-50%) were analyzed during 2010-2019...

ARCAPA echocardiographic diagnosis. A network of small multiple coronary vessels, a systo-diastolic jet of flow into the pulmonary artery and a retrograde inverted «blue» flow into the RCA are the key signs. CT-scan confirms the diagnosis .

BACKGROUND: Due to insufficient near-field resolution and artifacts, it is challenging to evaluate the left ventricular apical perfusion with phased-array probes. By combining high-frequency linear probe and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), imaging of apical myocardial perfusion could be improved. The study aims to evaluate the preliminary application of CEUS by high-frequency linear probes to assess the apical perfusion. METHODS: The study enrolled retrospectively 91 patients to test the feasibility of the novel method...
