A surrogate of right ventricular–pulmonary arterial coupling, the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) has been associated with outcomes across a wide range of cardiac pathologies and interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of baseline TAPSE/PASP ratio in patients undergoing mitral…

Mashup Score: 1Key Echocardiographic Considerations for Tricuspid Valve Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair - 2 year(s) ago
Chronic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results in progressive right ventricular (RV) volume overload, followed by right-sided chamber dilatation, RV systolic dysfunction, and eventual low-output cardiac failure. Severe TR is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and yet until recently, patients in the late stage of their disease course had limited treatment options. Cognizant of the…

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an increasingly utilized treatment for aortic valve stenosis. One of the known complications of TAVI is an aortic root to right ventricle (Ao Root-RV) fistula.1-3 This is thought to be a rare complication of TAVI, with only 30 cases of Ao Root-RV fistula reported in the literature. However, the incidence of Ao Root-RV fistula may be higher than…

Mashup Score: 45Systolic Anterior Motion of the Mitral Valve in the Presence of Annular Calcification - 2 year(s) ago
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been reported as a possible cause of systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve and dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. While morphologic features predisposing to SAM in other clinical settings have been described, patients with MAC+SAM have not been systematically investigated. We hypothesized that bulky calcium deposits in…

Tricuspid regurgitation is often clinically silent until late in the disease process, leading to a more advanced disease phenotype and higher rates of RV dysfunction at time of referral. Read our @JournalASEcho article here: https://t.co/c4uQhyTxFA https://t.co/H7DdBsTzy3

Assessment of cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) is essential to understand cardiac function and hemodynamics. These parameters can be examined using three echocardiographic techniques (pulsed-wave Doppler, two-dimensional [2D], and three-dimensional [3D]). Whether these methods can be used interchangeably is unclear. The influence of age, sex, and ethnicity on CO and SV has also not been…

Gradually, with a series of incremental steps, a new medical specialty has emerged. Combining the professional elements of direct patient care, diagnostic ability, and procedural expertise – Interventional Echocardiography (IE) is now widely regarded, but not yet formally recognized, as a sub-specialty of medicine. Typical training pathways include a background in cardiology or cardiovascular…

Mashup Score: 8A Thousand Words - 2 year(s) ago
There are multiple versions of the quotation “A picture is worth a thousand words,” an expression that has evolved over time and a concept that has been used extensively in advertising. It has been attributed to Arthur Brisbane, a New York newspaper editor who lived from 1864 to 1936, in reference to the effectiveness of the use of pictures. There is evidence to support this claim. A study was…

Transcatheter therapies for structural heart disease continue to grow at a rapid pace, and echocardiography is the primary imaging modality used to support such procedures. Transesophageal echocardiographic guidance of structural heart disease procedures must be performed by highly skilled echocardiographers who can provide rapid, accurate, and high-quality image acquisition and interpretation in…
