Mashup Score: 46Novel uses for implanted haemodynamic monitoring in adults with subaortic right ventricles - 1 day(s) ago
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication in patients with complete dextro-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after atrial switch (D-TGA/AS) and congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA). In this population with subaortic right ventricles (sRVs), echocardiography is a poor screening tool for PH; implantable invasive haemodynamic monitoring (IHM) could be used for this purpose, but data are limited. The aim of this study is to report on novel uses of IHM in patients with sRV. Methods This retrospective study describes the uses of IHM, impact of IHM on heart failure hospitalisation (HFH) and device-related complications in adults with sRV from a single centre (2015–2022). Results IHM was placed in 18 patients with sRV (median age 43 (range 30–54) years, 8 female, 16 with D-TGA/AS, 2 with ccTGA); 16 had moderate or severe sRV systolic dysfunction, 13 had PH on catheterisation. IHM was used for (1) Medical therapy titration, (2) Medical management after ventricular as

Mashup Score: 78Right atrial function, a mostly ignored but very valuable parameter in patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation - 3 day(s) ago
Significant secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) has increasing prevalence with age, it is associated with impaired quality of life, and it is an independent predictor of patients’ morbidity and mortality. Although the association of right ventricular (RV) function with outcome has been reported in patients with STR,1 2 the role of the right atrial (RA) geometry and function remains to be elucidated. In the past, RA has been considered as an innocent bystander that passively dilates due to the chronic volume overload imposed by STR. Recently, the role of RA enlargement in determining the dilation of the tricuspid annulus, as the main mechanism in the pathophysiology of atrial-STR, has been postulated.3 4 However, the association of RA function with outcomes in patients with STR received less attention. , Galloo and co-authors5 reported that RA function (measured as RA longitudinal reservoir strain, RAsR) was independently associated with all-cause mortality at 10 years in a retrospe

Mashup Score: 38Long-term cardiac follow-up of athletes infected with SARS-CoV-2 after resumption of elite-level sports - 4 day(s) ago
Objective Longitudinal consequences and potential interactions of COVID-19 and elite-level sports and exercise are unclear. Therefore, we determined the long-term detrimental cardiac effects of the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the highest level of sports and exercise. Methods This prospective controlled study included elite athletes from the Evaluation of Lifetime participation in Intensive Top-level sports and Exercise cohort. Athletes infected with SARS-CoV-2were offered structured, additional cardiovascular screenings, including cardiovascular MRI (CMR). We compared ventricular volumes and function, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 relaxation times, between infected and non-infected elite athletes, and collected follow-up data on cardiac adverse events, ventricular arrhythmia burden and the cessation of sports careers. Results We included 259 elite athletes (mean age 26±5 years; 40% women), of whom 123 were infected (9% cardiovascular symptoms) and 136 were c
