Heart masses, including tumors (primary and secondary) and pseudotumor (cysts and thrombus), are rare entities, but of increasing interest in cardiac imaging areas. The clinical manifestations are related to the intracardiac effect of mass, embolization, and systemic symptoms in the case of tumors; however, some of them are detected incidentally. Nowadays, imaging techniques and the advancement of their tools perform the morphological, functional, and tissue characterization of the masses, and additionally know the anatomical relationships, which are crucial factors for the treatment and surgical planning...

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the left atrial (LA) strain parameters of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients before and after dialysis by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI), and to explore the effect of volume load change on LA function. METHODS: Seventy-six patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) were enrolled in the study protocol. The median duration of dialysis was 24.0 (7.5, 59.5) months. In addition, 30 healthy subjects were selected as control group...

BACKGROUND: Elevated filling pressure is a hallmark of heart failure (HF) and portends poor prognosis. Accurate diagnosis is challenging, given that patients with normal filling pressure at rest develop disproportionate elevation with sudden preload increase. We aimed to test the accuracy of the ratio between mitral inflow velocity (E) and left ventricular stroke volume (SV) to identify patients with elevated filling pressure with passive leg lifting (PLL) and compare this with other echocardiographic surrogates of filling pressure...

BACKGROUND: High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) has a prevalence of approximately 10%. Changes in cardiac morphology and function at high altitude, compared to a population that does not develop HAPH are scarce. METHODS: Four hundred twenty-one subjects were screened in a hypoxic chamber inspiring a FiO2  = 12% for 2 h. In 33 subjects an exaggerated increase in systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) could be confirmed in two independent measurements...

Myocardial dysfunction is common in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Septic disease frequently results in cardiac dysfunction, and sepsis represents the most common cause of admission and death in the ICU. The association between left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and mortality is not clear for critically ill patients. Conversely, LV diastolic dysfunction (DD) seems increasingly recognized as a factor associated with poor outcomes, not only in sepsis but also more generally in critically ill patients...

PURPOSE: There is a need for better understanding the factors that modulate left atrial (LA) dysfunction. Therefore, we determined associations of clinical and biochemical biomarkers with serial changes in echocardiographic indexes of LA function in the general population. METHODS: We measured LA maximal and minimal volume indexes (LAVImax and LAVImin) by echocardiography and LA reservoir strain (LARS) by two-dimensional speckle-tracking in 627 participants (mean age 50...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric heart transplant (HT) has become the standard of care for end-stage heart failure in children worldwide. Serial echocardiographic evaluations of graft anatomy and function during follow-up are crucial for post-HT management. However, evolution of cardiac structure and function after pediatric HT has not been well described, especially during first year post-HT. This study aimed to characterize the evolution of cardiac structure and function after pediatric HT and investigate the correlation between biventricular function with adverse clinical outcomes...

PURPOSE: Layer-specific global longitudinal strain (GLS) may provide important insights in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to investigate the association between layer-specific GLS and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in patients suspected of CAD. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of patients suspected of CAD who underwent both an echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography (median 42 days between). Layer-specific (endocardial-, whole-layer-, and epicardial-) GLS was measured using speckle tracking echocardiography...

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to use three dimensional (3D) strain analysis to evaluate myocardial function and ascending aorta elasticity changes in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS: Between 2019 and 2021, 23 JDM patients and 20 healthy volunteers participated. Both groups underwent 2D and 3D strain analysis, assessing aortic stiffness using aortic distensibility, stiffness index, strain, and elastic modulus. RESULTS: JDM patients had a median age of 13...

BACKGROUND: Previous case studies have reported reversal of acute renal failure after pericardiocentesis in pericardial effusion. This study examines the effects of pericardiocentesis on preprocedural low cardiac output and acute renal dysfunction in patients with pericardial effusion. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 95 patients undergoing pericardiocentesis between 2015 and 2020. Pre- and post-procedure transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) were reviewed for evidence of cardiac tamponade, resolution of pericardial effusion, and for estimation of right atrial (RA) pressure and cardiac output...

BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a key role in the initial work-up of myocarditis where the identification of pathologic structural and functional changes may assist in its diagnosis and management. The aim of this systematic review was to appraise the evidence for the utility of echocardiographic parameters of cardiac structure and function in the diagnosis of myocarditis in adult populations. METHODS: A systematic literature search of medical databases was performed using PRISMA principles to identify all relevant studies assessing TTE parameters in adult patients with myocarditis (1995-2020; English only; PROSPERO registration CRD42021243598)...

BACKGROUND: Mixed pulmonary disease with pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and stenosis (PS) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) can negatively impact ventricular health. Myocardial strain has been shown to be more sensitive at detecting occult ventricular dysfunction compared to right ventricular ejection fraction (RV EF). We hypothesize that rTOF patients with predominant PS will have lower RV global longitudinal strain (RV GLS) prior to and post-transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR)...

BACKGROUND: A previous multicenter study showed that longitudinal changes in standard cardiac functional parameters were associated with the development of cardiomyopathy in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Evaluation of the relationship between global longitudinal strain (GLS) changes and cardiomyopathy risk was limited, largely due to lack of quality apical 2- and 3-chamber views in addition to 4-chamber view. We sought to determine whether apical 4-chamber longitudinal strain (A4LS) alone can serve as a suitable surrogate for GLS in this population...
