Introduction: Non-invasive cardiac imaging for assessing cardiovascular risk is challenging in obese patients. Intrathoracic adipose tissue, encompassing mediastinal tissue (MAT) and pericardial (PAT), has emerged as a promising marker risk. However, standard measurement methods MAT PAT their diagnostic utility the severe population remain unknown. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed stress magnetic resonance (CMR) of 790 consecutive patients between 2018-2021, including 199 with obesity...
To the Editor, Myocarditis as a rare complication after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination in adolescents and young adults has been recently reported;1,2 however, follow-up data is lacking. Methods This an observational case series of patients who were diagnosed with myocarditis COVID-19 vaccination. The clinical characteristics, short term (4–6 months) cardiac imaging outcomes are described. Results A total 6 male median age 16 years (interquartile range, [IQR] 14–18) at...
Background Echocardiographic atrioventricular (AV) optimization after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is uncommon due to time constraints and the use of vendor‐specific device algorithms. It remains unclear whether mitral inflow velocities can still be useful. We aimed investigate post implantation left ventricular (LV) patterns determine incidence AV dyssynchrony from empirically set devices. Methods This was a retrospective study patients undergoing CRT using empiric settings....
Introduction Current guidelines recommend at least 3 months of guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) for patients with a new onset non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) prior to cardiac resynchronization (CRT). For who do not receive optimal GDMT, response CRT is unknown. Methods Patients NICM LBBB QRS ≥ 120 ms were identified among all underwent CRT. received GDMT before compared those did not. Among 38 met inclusion criteria, 24 implantation (Group 1)...
•IVDA contributes to an increasing number of endocarditis cases annually.•Echocardiography remains first-line for diagnosing and complications.•PVEI can result in aortoatrial fistula formation.•Severe AR from valvular destruction lead ECMV diastolic MR.
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, social distancing guidelines have negatively affected care-seeking behavior of patients with chronic medical conditions, including those cardiovascular disease. We report case a 60-year-old man vague gastrointestinal symptoms who waited more than 1 week to seek treatment for fear COVID-19 infection. On presentation at another hospital, he was found had an anterior myocardial infarction, and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention...
