Mitral and tricuspid are increasingly prevalent. Doppler echocardiography not only detects the presence of regurgitation but also permits to understand mechanisms regurgitation, quantification its severity repercussions. The present document aims provide standards for assessment mitral regurgitation.
administration.We recognize that in the setting of a variety predisposing factors, varying cumulative dosages recognized cardiotoxic agents, and use other agents are known to increase oxidative stress compromise myocyte stability, algorithm proposed this document cannot be based on strong clinical data.Since approval trastuzumab, numerous have entered therapeutic armamentarium, including small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors.It is difficult make broad generalizations about these because...
Guidelines for pre-operative cardiac risk assessment and perioperative management in non-cardiac surgery.
Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of aortic diseases. Evaluation aorta is a routine part standard echocardiographic examination. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) permits adequate assessment several segments, particularly root proximal ascending aorta. Transoesophageal (TOE) overcomes limitations TTE thoracic assessment. TOE should be used complementary manner. useful for assessing size, biophysical properties, atherosclerotic involvement Although...

Valvular regurgitation represents an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography has become the primary non-invasive imaging method for evaluation valvular regurgitation. The echocardiographic assessment should integrate quantification regurgitation, valve anatomy, function as well consequences disease on cardiac chambers. In clinical practice, management patients with thus largely integrates results echocardiography. It is crucial to provide standards that...
Background— The choice of imaging techniques in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) varies between countries, regions, and hospitals. This prospective, multicenter, comparative effectiveness study was designed to assess the relative accuracy commonly used for identifying significant CAD. Methods Results— A total 475 stable chest pain intermediate likelihood CAD underwent computed tomographic angiography stress myocardial perfusion by single photon emission tomography or...
Pulmonary congestion is highly prevalent and often asymptomatic among patients with ESRD treated hemodialysis, but whether its presence predicts clinical outcomes unknown. Here, we tested the prognostic value of extravascular lung water measured by a simple, well validated ultrasound B-lines score (BL-US) in multicenter study that enrolled 392 hemodialysis patients. We detected moderate-to-severe 45% very severe 14% Among those congestion, 71% were or presented slight symptoms heart failure....
The term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach athlete's aims differentiate physiological changes due intensive training in from serious cardiac diseases with similar morphological features. Imaging assessment should begin thorough echocardiographic examination.Left ventricular (LV) wall thickness echocardiography can contribute distinction between LV hypertrophy hypertrophic...
The main mission statement of the European Association Echocardiography (EAE) is 'to promote excellence in clinical diagnosis, research, technical development, and education cardiovascular ultrasound Europe'. As competence quality control issues are increasingly recognized by patients, physicians, payers, EAE has established recommendations for training, competence, improvement echocardiography. purpose this document to provide requirements training echocardiography, outline principles...
Pocket-size imaging devices are a completely new type of echo machines which have recently reached the market. They very cheap, smartphone-size hand-held with limited technical capabilities. The aim this European Association Echocardiography (EAE) position paper is to provide recommendations on use pocket-size in clinical arena by profiling educational needs potential users other than cardiologists experts echo. EAE about can be summarized in: (1) do not complete diagnostic echocardiographic...
The concept of point-of-care, problem-oriented focus cardiac ultrasound examination (FoCUS) is increasingly applied in the settings medical emergencies, including diseases. European Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) recognizes that cardiologists are not only professionals dealing with cardiovascular emergencies. In reality, emergency diagnostics and treatment also carried out by a wide range specialists. For benefit patients, EACVI encourages any professional, sufficiently trained...
Background and objectives Accumulation of fluid in the lung is most concerning sequela volume expansion patients with ESRD. Lung auscultation recommended to detect monitor pulmonary congestion, but its reliability ESRD unknown. Design, setting, participants, & measurements In a subproject ongoing Water by Ultra-Sound Guided Treatment Prevent Death Cardiovascular Complications High Risk Patients Cardiomyopathy Trial, we compared ultrasound–guided ultrafiltration prescription policy versus...
Aims Coronary flow-reserve (CFR) can be impaired in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), unmasking a coronary microcirculatory dysfunction of potential prognostic impact. The aim the present study is to evaluate value Doppler echocardiographic-derived CFR patients with DCM. Methods and results We evaluated 129 DCM (85 male; age 62±11) by transthoracic dipyridamole (0.84 mg/kg 10 min) stress echocardiography. All had an ejection fraction <40% (mean 32±7) angiographically normal...
