There is a need for simple, noninvasive solutions to remotely monitor and predict worsening heart failure (HF) events. SCALE-HF 1 (Surveillance Alert-Based Multiparameter Monitoring Reduce Worsening Heart Failure Events) prospective, multicenter study that will develop assess the accuracy of function index-a composite algorithm hemodynamic biomarkers from cardiac scale-in predicting HF events.Approximately 300 patients with chronic recent decompensation be enrolled in this observational...
There is a need for better noninvasive remote monitoring solutions that prevent hospitalizations through the early prediction and management of heart failure (HF). SCALE-HF 1 evaluated performance novel Congestion Index alerts to fluid accumulation preceding HF events.
A 22-year-old woman with hypertension and end-stage renal disease was referred for a transthoracic echocardiogram to evaluate cardiac function. The study revealed normal chamber sizes left ventricular systolic function; however, an unusual turbulence noted on color-flow Doppler in the atrium, originating adjacent anterior mitral valve leaflet base. transesophageal echocardiogram, obtained better characterization of this jet, showed linear echogenic structure extending across orifice atrial...
Background Data on left ventricular (LV) strain profiles in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) comparison obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are limited. We sought to investigate regional and global LV longitudinal a cohort of known TC using two‐dimensional imaging (2DS) acute (ACM) due severe anterior descending arterial or triple‐vessel healthy controls. Methods Transthoracic echocardiography was performed 34 established TC, 24 ACM, 30 subjects. measured the segmental...
•Mitral annular disjunction is an underrecognized finding on echocardiography.•Mitral valve prolapse strongly associated with mitral disjunction.•Patients Marfan syndrome are potentially high risk for disjunction.•Paradoxical unsaddling occurs in disjunction.•Mitral valvular apparatus tension during systole contributes to arrhythmic syndrome.
Background: Radiation-induced valvulopathy (RIV) is a common complication of mediastinal radiotherapy and usually occurs at least 10 years after exposure to radiotherapy. Case Report: We report the case 37-year-old female with history stage IIIB Hodgkin lymphoma who was diagnosed RIV all other potential causes shortness breath valvular dysfunction were excluded. The patient's presentation, 6 receiving chemotherapy for lymphoma, earlier than expected patient started on regimen lisinopril,...
Among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have high risk of bleeding secondary to haematologic disorders, left appendage (LAA) occlusion therapy has been shown be an excellent alternative long-term use oral anticoagulation for thromboembolic stroke prevention. However, there remains a major concern device-associated thrombosis post-procedure, that can lead life-threatening embolic events. To this date, is no systematic guideline the selection and management haematological disorders...
