- A Comparison of Perinatal Circulatory Transition in Critical Right and Left Heart Obstructive Lesionsby Proscovia M. Mugaba, Lisa K. Hornberger, Angela McBrien, Lindsay Mills, Luke G. Eckersley on July 14, 2024 at 12:00 am
During perinatal transition in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) reduced systemic (Qs) and cerebral blood flow and increased pulmonary flow (Qp) is observed, contributing to hemodynamic instability. In the current study, we explored whether similar or discordant perinatal changes occur in critical pulmonary outflow obstruction (POFO), when compared to HLHS and healthy controls.
- Evolution of natural myocardial shear wave behavior in young hearts: determinant factors and reproducibility analysisby Ahmed S. Youssef, Aniela Petrescu, Thomas Salaets, Stéphanie Bézy, Laurine Wouters, Marta Orlowska, Annette Caenen, Jürgen Duchenne, Alexis Puvrez, Bjorn Cools, Ruth Heying, Jan D’hooge, Marc Gewillig, Jens-Uwe Voigt on July 11, 2024 at 12:00 am
Myocardial diastolic function assessment in children by conventional echocardiography is challenging. Recent high frame rate (HFR) echocardiography facilitates the assessment of myocardial stiffness (MS) -a key factor of diastolic function- by measuring the propagation velocities of myocardial shear waves (SWs). However, normal values of natural SWs in children are currently lacking.
- PERINATAL CARDIAC FUNCTIONAL ADAPTATION IN HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSISby Olga Patey, Lisa K. Hornberger, Angela McBrien, Lily Lin, Nee S. Khoo, Luke Eckersley on July 10, 2024 at 12:00 am
The perinatal transition is characterized by acute changes in cardiac loading. Compared to normal newborn combined cardiac output (CCO), single right ventricular (RV) output of neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is markedly greater. We sought to examine the mechanisms of cardiac adaptation which facilitate this perinatal transition from late fetal to early neonatal life in HLHS.

- Sonothrombolysis before and after percutaneous coronary intervention provides the largest myocardial salvage in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarctionby Prajith Jeyaprakash, Faraz Pathan, Shanthosh Sivapathan, Kristy P. Robledo, Kedar Madan, Lynn Khor, Christopher Yu, Christine Madronio, Hisham Hallani, Gary Low, Nishant Nundlall, Sonya Burgess, Clyne Fernandes, Devang Parikh, Han Loh, Robert Mansberg, Diep Nguyen, Koya Ozawa, Thomas R.

Sonothrombolysis is a therapeutic application of ultrasound with ultrasound contrast for patients with ST elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Recent trials demonstrated that sonothrombolysis, delivered before and after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), increase infarct vessel patency, improve microvascular flow, reduce infarct size, and improve ejection fraction. However, it […]
- Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography in Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosisby Nils Sofus Borg Mogensen, Mulham Ali, Rasmus Carter-Storch, Mohamed-Salah Annabi, Jasmine Grenier-Delaney, Jacob Eifer Møller, Kristian Altern Øvrehus, Patricia A. Pellikka, Philippe Pibarot, Marie-Annick Clavel, Jordi Sanchez Dahl on July 5, 2024 at 12:00 am
Guidelines recommend the use of Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis (AS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. However, a paucity exists in DSE data when LVEF>35%.
