Mashup Score: 1
Atrial fibrillation (AF) constitutes a significant clinical and economic burden, and its prediction in asymptomatic subjects from the general population represents a challenge. While both linear and volumetric echocardiographic measurements of the left atrium (LA) can effectively identify hypertensive patients at risk of AF,1 left atrial (LA) function may be a more sensitive indicator of the risk…

Current noninvasive estimation of right atrial pressure (RAP) by either bedside jugular venous pressure exam or inferior vena cava measurement during a comprehensive echocardiogram offers imprecise estimates of actual RAP.

Mashup Score: 2Recommendations for Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Children: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography ∗ - 2 year(s) ago
Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound has the potential to improve patient care, but its application to children requires consideration of anatomic and physiologic differences from adult populations, and corresponding technical aspects of performance. This document is the product of an American Society of Echocardiography task force composed of representatives from pediatric cardiology, pediatric…

Mashup Score: 5
A comprehensive understanding of the normal and abnormal aortic root is paramount if we are to improve not only our assessment of the aortic root and its components but also the surgical approach to reconstructing this complex structure when congenitally malformed. Most anatomic and imaging-based classifications of the normal root recognize and describe the basic components, which include the…

Mashup Score: 0Role of Right Ventricular Strain Measured by Two-Dimensional Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis - 2 year(s) ago
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) causes restrictive cardiomyopathy usually associated with a poor prognosis. Two subtypes predominate: systemic light-chain CA (ALCA) and transthyretin-derived CA (either wild type transthyretin amyloidosis [TTRwt] or mutant transthyretin amyloidosis [TTRm]). Left ventricular (LV) apical sparing has been extensively studied using speckle-tracking echocardiography for…

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…

Mashup Score: 20Patent Foramen Ovale Channel Morphometric Characteristics Associated with Cryptogenic Stroke: The MorPFO Score - 2 year(s) ago
It is still disputable whether the specific morphologic properties of patent foramen ovale (PFO) may contribute to the occurrence of stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the morphometric and functional features of the PFO channel in patients with cryptogenic stroke and those without stroke.
