To assess whether quantification of pulmonary perfusion defects on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) relates to adverse events beyond clinical parameters and traditional embolus detection in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). We included consecutive patients who underwent DECT to rule out acute PE in 2018-2020 and recorded incident adverse events, defined as a composite of short-term (< 30 days) in-hospital all-cause mortality or admission to intensive care unit. Relative perfusion defect volume (PDV) was measured on DECT and indexed by total lung volume...

BACKGROUND: Accurate detection of significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is critical in management of patients after right ventricular (RV) outflow reconstruction in Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients, because of its influence on adverse outcomes. Although pressure half time (PHT) of PR velocity is one of the widely used echocardiographic markers of the severity, shortened PHT is suggested to be seen in conditions with increased RV stiffness with mild PR. However, little has been reported about the exact characteristics of patients showing discrepancy between PHT and PR volume in this population...

Besides LV ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global myocardial work index (GWI) are increasingly important for the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in athletes. Since exercise testing is frequently performed on a treadmill, we investigated the impact of upright posture on GLS and GWI. In 50 male athletes (mean age 25.7 ± 7.3 years) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and simultaneous blood pressure measurements were performed in upright and left lateral position...

Although frequently unrecognized, left atrium (LA) function plays a key role in global cardiac performance as it modulates left ventricle (LV) filling through three main functions: the LA reservoir, conduit and booster pump. Given the interdependence between the LA and the LV, it is known that LA dimension and/or LA function can be used as a surrogate for LV diastolic function.Recently, LA deformation analysis using 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) strain emerged as a promising non-invasive technique that can help to estimate LV filling pressures (LVFP) and diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), as recently proposed in the recent 2022 European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) consensus which included LA reservoir strain as an additive parameter to estimate LVFP...

LETTER
Siamak Sabour, Azin Torabi
Reliability (repeatability or agreement) is assessed by different statistical tests including Pearson r or Spearman rho which is one of the common mistakes in reliability analysis. Pearson r or Spearman rho correlation coefficient only assesses the linearity between two continuous variables. Any shift in the regression line's location or scale, which leads to non-reliability, cannot be detected by these correlation coefficients. In reliability analysis, the individual approach should be considered instead of the global average...

It has been shown that there is an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart failure and death in nephrotic syndrome. Left ventricle global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is a more sensitive measure of assessing myocardial dysfunction and is more reproducible than left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF%). LVGLS can detectsubclinical deterioration in the left ventricle early. In this study, we aimed to investigate LVGLS in Primary Nephrotic Syndrome (PNS) patients with normal LVEF%. Patients with histopathologically confirmed PNS were evaluated for this prospective single-center study...

Changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics are closely related to the development of aortic regurgitation (AR), a type of valvular heart disease. Metrics derived from blood flows are used to indicate AR onset and evaluate its severity. These metrics can be non-invasively obtained using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), where accuracy is primarily dependent on spatial resolution. However, insufficient resolution often results from limitations in 4D flow MRI and complex aortic regurgitation hemodynamics...

PURPOSE: Aortic dilation and valvar regurgitation can develop in transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after the arterial switch operation (ASO). Variation in aortic root rotational position affects flow dynamics in patients without congenital heart disease. The aim of this study was to assess neo-aortic root (neo-AoR) rotational position and its association with neo-AoR dilation, ascending aorta (AAo) dilation, and neo-aortic valvar regurgitation in TGA following ASO. METHODS: Patients with TGA repaired by ASO who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were reviewed...

The Simpson's method is the standard technique to determine left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) on echocardiography. The large inter-observer variability of measuring LVEF is well documented but not fully understood. A graphical analysis was used to elaborate what contributes to the inter-observer difference. Forty-two cardiologists (32 male, 39 ± 7 years) evaluated the LVEF using the Simpson's method on 15 different echocardiograms (2 and 4 chamber view (2CH/4CH)); the program did not show the result of EF to prevent a bias...
