- Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain to Assess Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Chronically Treated Cardiac Asymptomatic Hereditary Hemochromatosis With HFE C282Y HomozygosityPosted by Yukitaka Shizukuda, Stanislav Sidenko, My-Le Nguyen, Douglas R. Rosing on March 26, 2024 at 12:00 am
We have reported normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function (LVSF) at rest1 and during exercise2 with two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in our cohort of subjects with cardiac asymptomatic hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) with HFE C282Y homozygosity.1-4 Recently, subclinical LV systolic dysfunction (LVSDF) using LV global strain in newly diagnosed HH populations has been reported using […]

- Quantification of Mitral Regurgitation in Mitral Valve Prolapse by 3D Vena Contracta Area: Derived Cut-off Values and Comparison with 2D Multiparametric Approach.Posted by Giorgio Fiore, Giacomo Ingallina, Francesco Ancona, Carlo Gaspardone, Federico Biondi, Davide Margonato, Michele Morosato, Martina Belli, Annamaria Tavernese, Stefano Stella, Eustachio Agricola on March 22, 2024 at 12:00 am
Echocardiographic grading of mitral regurgitation (MR) in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is challenging. 3D vena contracta area (3D VCA) has been proposed as valuable method. However, data defining the cut-off values of severity and validation in the subset of patients with MVP are scarce. The aim of this study was to validate the 3D VCA by 3D transesophageal color-Doppler echocardiography (3D-TEE) […]
- Prognostic Value of Follow-up Measures of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with ST-segment elevation Myocardial InfarctionPosted by Laima Caunite, Rinchyenkhand Myagmardorj, Xavier Galloo, Dorien Laenens, Jan Stassen, Takeru Nabeta, Idit Yedidya, Maria C.

Bax, Nina Ajmone Marsan on March 19, 2024 at 12:00 am
After ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), follow-up imaging is currently recommended only in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) showed to improve risk stratification over LVEF in these patients, but has not been thoroughly studied during follow-up. Aim of this study was to explore the changes in LVGLS after STEMI […]

- Progression of Mild Mitral Annulus Calcification to Mitral Valve Dysfunction and Impact on MortalityPosted by Muhannad Abbasi, Abdullah Al-Abcha, Alex T. Lee, Christopher G. Scott, Mayra Guerrero, Patricia A. Pellikka on March 15, 2024 at 12:00 am
Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) represents a degenerative process resulting in calcium deposition in the mitral valve apparatus. MAC is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. We sought to examine the long-term significance of mild MAC and its relationship to subsequent mitral valve dysfunction (MVD) and mortality in patients without MVD on the initial echocardiogram. […]
