- Multimodal imaging in young male with bicuspid aortic valve, right-sided aorto-atrial fistula and single coronary arteryby Marco Fabio Costantino, Gianpaolo D’Addeo, Stefano Mancino, Luisiana Stolfi and Teresa Mannarino on August 27, 2025 at 12:00 am
A 35-year-old male, without significant cardiovascular history, presented with recurrent palpitations. Initial echocardiographic evaluation demonstrated eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, mild systolic dy...
- Mini 3D transesophageal probe: technical advances and clinical applicationsby Monica Barki and Rebecca T. Hahn on August 4, 2025 at 12:00 am
With the growing complexity of structural heart disease procedures, the need for advanced intraprocedural imaging has become increasingly critical. Transesophageal echocardiography remains the gold standard fo...
- Left atrium phasic function decreases in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot: a case–control studyby Keiya Sato, Ken Takahashi, Yusuke Akatsuka, Hiroyuki Sato, Hirohisa Kago, Azusa Akiya, Satoshi Akimoto, Mayumi Ifuku, Yu Hosono, Sachie Shigemitsu, Kotoko Matsui, Keisuke Nakanishi, Shiori Kawasaki and Toshiaki Shimizu on July 24, 2025 at 12:00 am
Although the left atrium (LA) plays a key role in diastolic function, LA dysfunction in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remains unclear. Recently, LA strains assessed using a speckle tracking...
- Validation of noninvasive indices of right ventricular diastolic function. Simultaneous echocardiography and pressure-volume catheterization studiesby Candelas Pérez del Villar, Raquel Prieto-Arévalo, Jorge García-Carreño, Pablo Martínez-Legazpi, Daniel Rodríguez-Pérez, Yolanda Benito, Antonia Delgado-Montero, J. Carlos Antoranz, M. Mar Desco, Cristian Herrera Flores, Rafael Corisco Beltrán, Francisco Fernández-Avilés and Javier Bermejo on July 9, 2025 at 12:00 am
The reliability of the recommended echocardiographic methods for assessing RV diastolic function has been questioned. We aimed to validate noninvasive indices of RV diastolic function, derived from tricuspid D...
- Left ventricular flow dynamics by cardiac imaging techniques in heart failure patients: state of the artby Donato Mele, Lorenzo Serio, Riccardo Beccari, Antonella Cecchetto, Stefano Nistri and Gianni Pedrizzetti on May 19, 2025 at 12:00 am
The evaluation of left ventricular (LV) flow dynamics is a novel approach to assessing LV function that goes beyond traditional metrics. This approach has been applied to patients with heart failure (HF), prov...
