Myocardial strain is an established parameter for the assessment of cardiac function and routinely derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Novel post-processing tools allow deformation imaging also by 4D computed tomography angiography (CCT). This retrospective study aims to analyze reproducibility CCT compare it that STE.Left (LV) right ventricular (RV), left atrial (LA) ejection fraction (EF), dimensions, global longitudinal (GLS), circumferential (GCS) radial (GRS) were...
Background Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) often coexists with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Although strain analysis from cardiac MRI and echocardiography was demonstrated to predict coexisting ATTR-CM, comparable data four-dimensional (4D) CT are lacking despite wide availability. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 4D CT-derived parameters in identifying ATTR-CM older adults considered for transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). Materials Methods This...
Preprocedural planning and postprocedural evaluation after transcatheter treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation remain challenging require further research standardization. We illustrate the use multimodality imaging techniques in 3 patients undergoing implantation a novel custom-made bicaval valved stent for symptomatic regurgitation. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.)

Background Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) may coexist in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) considered for transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). The diagnosis ATTR-CM by 99mTechnetium-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic-acid (DPD)-scintigraphy is costly, whereas endomyocardial biopsy associated relevant procedural risks and...
