Importance Most epidemiological studies of heart failure (HF) have been conducted in high-income countries with limited comparable data from middle- or low-income countries. Objective To examine differences HF etiology, treatment, and outcomes between groups at different levels economic development. Design, Setting, Participants Multinational registry 23 341 participants 40 high-income, upper–middle-income, lower–middle-income, countries, followed up for a median period 2.0 years. Main...
Abstract Aims Although impaired left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) with apical sparing is a feature of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), its diagnostic accuracy has varied across studies. We aimed to determine the ability ratio (ASR) and most common echocardiographic parameters differentiate patients confirmed CA from those clinical and/or suspicion but this diagnosis ruled out. Methods results identified 544 200 controls (CTRLs) as defined above (CTRL patients). Measurements...
<h3>Importance</h3> Inflammation promotes cardiovascular disease and anti-inflammatory treatment reduces events in patients with chronic coronary syndrome. Chronic kidney (CKD) is a risk factor for disease. It unclear how inflammation mediated by interleukin 6 (IL-6) CKD linked to <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate associations between IL-6 outcomes syndrome association function. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multicenter cohort study included enrolled at 663 centers 39 countries...
Abstract Annuloplasty is the cornerstone of surgical mitral valve repair. A percutaneous transvenous catheter‐based approach for repair was tested by placing a novel annuloplasty device in coronary sinus sheep with acute ischemic regurgitation. Mitral regurgitation reduced from 3–4+ to 0–1+ all animals ( P < 0.03). The functioned reducing septal‐lateral annular diameter (30 ± 2.1 mm preinsertion vs. 24 1.7 postinsertion; These preliminary experiments demonstrate that feasible. Further...
Abstract Aims Studies have demonstrated the ability of a new automated algorithm for volumetric analysis 3D echocardiographic (3DE) datasets to provide accurate and reproducible measurements left ventricular atrial (LV, LA) volumes at end-systole end-diastole. Recently, this methodology was expanded using machine learning (ML) approach automatically measure chamber throughout cardiac cycle, resulting in LV LA volume–time curves. We aimed validate ejection filling parameters obtained from...
Abstract Background Right-sided infective endocarditis is uncommon, and isolated pulmonic valve (PVIE) rare. Chronic haemodialysis a risk factor for developing endocarditis. but recurrent PVIE in this population not well described. Case summary A 32-year-old male with end-stage renal disease on chronic diagnosed 6 months back due to Staphylococcus epidermidis without identified source of infection presented again methicillin sensitive S. aureus, new septic emboli, peri-graft fluid collection...
Right ventricular (RV) functional assessment is mainly limited to its longitudinal contraction. Dedicated three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) software enabled the separate of non-longitudinal components RV ejection fraction (EF). The aims this study were (i) establish normal values for 3D-derived longitudinal, radial, and anteroposterior EF (LEF, REF, AEF, respectively) their relative contributions global RVEF, (ii) calculate 3D strain values, (iii) determine sex-, age-, race-related...
Introducción: El número creciente de estudios ecocardiográficos y la necesidad cumplir rigurosamente con las recomendaciones guías internacionales cuantificación, ha llevado a que los cardiólogos deban realizar tareas sumamente extensas repetitivas, como parte interpretación análisis cantidades información cada vez más abrumadoras.Novedosas técnicas machine learning (ML), diseñadas para reconocer imágenes mediciones en vistas adecuadas, están siendo utilizadas responder esta evidente...
Abstract Aims Aortic valve area (AVA) used for echocardiographic assessment of aortic stenosis (AS) has been traditionally interpreted independently sex, age and race. As differences in normal values might impact clinical decision-making, we aimed to establish sex-, age- race-specific normative AVA Doppler parameters using data from the World Alliance Societies Echocardiography (WASE) Study. Methods results Two-dimensional transthoracic studies were obtained 1903 healthy adult subjects (48%...
The 2010 Task Force Criteria (TFC) require that both right ventricular (RV) regional wall-motion abnormalities (WMA) and specific RV size cut-offs be met in order to fulfil one of the major criterion for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ARVC) diagnosis. Currently, 2D echocardiography (2DE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) are used determine if these criteria met. Little is known about diagnostic value 3D (3DE) ARVC. aim this study was whether a combination 2DE-3DE non-inferior...
The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, is the pathogen that causes COVID-19. Cardiovascular (CV) involvement during this infection, has been related to adverse outcomes. Interestingly, some patients may remain symptomatic beyond first 14 days of disease diagnosis. Although a particular reduction on left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) in basal segments recently described hospitalized with diagnosis COVID-19, correlation these findings persistence symptoms not...
