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...

BACKGROUND: Recently, peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) has emerged as a possible predictor of Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in cancer patients (CP), in addition to left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS). Thus, considering the link between left atrium and left ventricle, the aim of this study was to assess the global atrio-ventricular strain (GAVS) in CP, to detect early cardiotoxicity. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out enrolling 131 breast cancer women (mean age 51...

OBJECTIVE: There is growing interest in speckle tracking echocardiography-derived strain as a measure of left ventricular function in neonates. However, knowledge gaps remain regarding the effect of image acquisition and processing parameters on circumferential strain measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using different region of interest (ROI) widths on speckle tracking derived circumferential strain in healthy neonates. METHODS: Thirty healthy-term-born neonates were examined with speckle-tracking echocardiography in the short-axis view...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the ability of left atrial (LA) strain parameters to discriminate patients with elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 142 patients with non-valvular AF who underwent first catheter ablation (CA) between November 2022 and November 2023 were enrolled in the study. Conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) were performed in all patients within 24 h before CA, and LAP was invasively measured during the ablation procedure...

Evaluation of the fetal heart involves two approaches. The first describes a screening protocol in which the heart is imaged in transverse planes that includes the four-chamber view (4CV), left and right outflow tracts, and the 3-vessel-tracheal view. The second approach is a fetal echocardiogram that requires additional cardiac images as well as evaluating ventricular function using diagnostic tools such as M-mode and pulsed Doppler ultrasound. Speckle tracking analysis of the ventricular and atrial endocardium of the fetal heart has focused primarily on computing longitudinal global strain...

PURPOSE: Echocardiography is considered essential during cannulation placement and manipulations. Literature evaluating transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) usage during pediatric VV-ECMO is scant. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of echocardiography during VV-ECMO at a large, quaternary children's hospital. METHODS: A retrospective, single-year cohort study was performed of pediatric patients on VV-ECMO via dual-lumen cannula at our institution from January 2019 through December 2019...

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) varies from mild disease with a normal life expectancy to heart failure and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The identification of patients who are at high risk for SCD remains challenging. AIMS: In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of papillary muscle-free strain in HCM patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients with a diagnosis of HCM were included in this study...

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including hypertensive LVH, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA), is a commonly encountered condition in cardiology practice, presenting challenges in differential diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the importance of echocardiographic evaluation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in distinguishing LVH subtypes including hypertensive LVH, HCM, and CA. METHODS: In this retrospective study, patients with common causes of LVH including hypertensive LVH, HCM, and CA were included...

PURPOSE: Left ventricular longitudinal function can be rapidly evaluated by measuring S' and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) using tissue Doppler imaging. Even when the image quality is poor and the left ventricular endocardium is not visible, S' and MAPSE can be measured if the mitral annulus is visible. However, the utility of S' and MAPSE in diagnosing cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the diagnostic performance of S' and MAPSE and determine appropriate cutoff values...
