Mashup Score: 20Rate of Ascending Aortic Enlargement in a Large Echocardiographic Cohort: Associated Risk Factors and Adverse Aortic Events - 10 hour(s) ago
Understanding ascending aortic aneurysm growth and associated risk factors is critical to advising appropriate echocardiographic follow-up intervals for patients. The aim of this study was to identify aortic aneurysm growth rate on serial echocardiography as well as the clinical and demographic variables that contribute to baseline aortic size and subsequent aortic growth.

Mashup Score: 103Prognostic Value of Echocardiographic Coupling Metrics in Systemic Sclerosis–Associated Pulmonary Vascular Disease - 7 day(s) ago
Ineffective right ventricular (RV) adaptation to increasing pulmonary arterial (PA) afterload in pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary vascular disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc) arises through various mechanisms, yet detecting abnormal contractile response remains challenging. Here we examine whether echocardiographic RV-PA coupling metrics correlate with invasive pressure-volume (PV) loops, enhancing the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes in SSc-PVD patients.

Mashup Score: 8Association with Outcome of the Regurgitant-Volume Adjusted Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation - 23 day(s) ago
In patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) may not accurately reflect the actual RV systolic performance since a considerable amount of the RV stroke volume (SV) is regurgitated back into the right atrium. To overcome this limitation, we explored the association with the outcome of the effective RVEF (eRVEF), which accounts for the tricuspid regurgitant volume (RegVol).

Mashup Score: 12Prevalence of Diastolic and Systolic Mitral Annular Disjunction in Patients With Mitral Valve Prolapse - 23 day(s) ago
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is commonly evaluated at end systole. However, a systolic-only disjunction is merely apparent, and 2 distinct phenotypes have been identified: True-MAD (atrial displacement of the posterior leaflet in diastole and systole) and Pseudo-MAD (apparent displacement in systole only). The prevalence of True-MAD and Pseudo-MAD in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is not known. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of True-MAD and Pseudo-MAD in myxomatous MVP patients by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and to validate TTE compared to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR; reference standards).

Mashup Score: 41A Novel Echocardiography Feature-Tracking Algorithm for Stabilized Frame-to-Frame Extraction of Aortic Root Diameters in the Parasternal Long Axis - 1 month(s) ago
Measurements of proximal aortic diameters are routinely acquired in parasternal long axis (PSLAX) views using transthoracic echocardiography. Aortic translation and pulsation complicate manual diameter measurements, which are critical for clinical decision-making in aortopathy. We aimed to create a tracking algorithm that extracts comprehensive aortic root properties from PSLAX data, hypothesizing that algorithm-extracted metrics are abnormal in pediatric Marfan syndrome (MFS) aortopathy.

Mashup Score: 57Right Ventricular to Pulmonary Artery Coupling and Prognosis in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis - 2 month(s) ago
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is caused by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins, mostly transthyretin (ATTR-CA) or immunoglobulin light-chains (AL-CA), and results in an infiltrative cardiomyopathy with restrictive physiology1,2; RV-PA coupling refers to the ability of right ventricular (RV) systolic function to face a given pulmonary afterload and can be noninvasively estimated by calculating the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) on echocardiography.

Mashup Score: 18Improving Prenatal Detection of Congenital Heart Disease With a Scalable Composite Analysis of 6 Fetal Cardiac Ultrasound Biometrics - 2 month(s) ago
Although screening of prenatal congenital heart disease (CHD) has improved over the last decade, the diagnosis rate can still be as low as 40%.1 The axial 4-chamber (A4C) is the most reliably obtained cardiac view in the fetal screening ultrasound but alone only has a maximum clinical sensitivity of 50% to 60%, particularly in large multicenter studies in low-risk populations.2 Standard biometrics, like cardiac axis (CA), cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), and cardiac chamber fractional area change (FAC), have individually been shown to be useful for CHD screening and can all be obtained from A4C alone.

Mashup Score: 85
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can have a significant impact on the health and mortality of a patient. Unfortunately, many patients with advanced right-sided heart failure are not referred for isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery in a timely manner. This delayed referral has resulted in a high in-hospital mortality rate and significant undertreatment. Fortunately, transcatheter TV intervention (TTVI) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to surgery, successfully reducing TR severity and improving patients’ quality of life.

Mashup Score: 12Congenital and Structural Heart Disease Interventions Using Echocardiography-Fluoroscopy Fusion Imaging - 4 month(s) ago
With the increasing frequency of catheter-based interventions in congenital heart disease and structural heart disease, the use of fusion imaging has become a major enhancement for understanding complex anatomy and facilitating key steps in interventional procedures. Because transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy are displayed in different visual perspectives, the interventional cardiologist must mentally reregister the images from the two modalities during the procedure. Echocardiography-fluoroscopy fusion (EFF) imaging displays the x-ray and ultrasound overlay images in the same visual perspective.
