The athlete's heart is a well-known phenomenon in adults practising competitive sports. Unfortunately, to date, most of the studies on training-induced cardiac remodelling have been conducted in adults and the current recommendations refer mainly to adult individuals. However, an appropriate interpretation of resting ECG and imaging in children pra...

The efficacy of a therapy for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) has not been proven, but tafamidis has been associated with favorable outcomes. However, echocardiographic details of the association of tafamidis with cardiac morphology remain undetermined. Moreover, whether the efficacy of tafamidis varies with the degree ...

We aimed to assess the usefulness of using the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) velocity-time integral (VTI) for echocardiographic monitoring of cardiac output compared to the gold standard, the VTI along the left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT). Prospective observational study. A tertiary intensive care unit. 100 consecutive patients. echocardi...

Patients treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab are at increased risk of developing heart failure. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent irreversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This study investigates whether subclinical deterioration of global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a more reliable early predictor for LV dysfunction than thr...

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) after COVID-19 is commonly associated with cardiac involvement. Studies found myocardial dysfunction, as measured by decreased ejection fraction and abnormal strain, to be common early in illness. However, there is limited data on longitudinal cardiac outcomes. We aim to describe the evolution o...

The echocardiographic parameter E/e' has been associated with cardiovascular (CV) events. However, few studies have analyzed multiple associated CV outcomes using E/e' in a diverse population of both inpatients and outpatients with and without cardiac diseases and risk factors. Medical records of 75,393 patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) wit...

There is lack of validated methods for quantifying the size of pleural effusion from standard transthoracic (TTE) windows. The purpose of this study is to determine whether pleural effusion (Peff) measured from routine two-dimensional (2D) TTE views correlate with chest radiograph (CXR). We retrospectively identified all inpatients who underwent a ...

To investigate the effect of successful RFCA in patients with idiopathic outflow tract PVCs (OT-PVC) on left heart functions, neurohormonal activation, functional status, and heart failure-related quality of life (HFQoL), with an integrated approach. Patients with frequent OT-PVCs, determined by 12-lead surface ECG who underwent radiofrequency cath...

Appropriate use criteria (AUC) for the performance of outpatient transthoracic echocardiography are based on history, physical examination and electrocardiograms. Telehealth provides access to clinical care in the absence of a physical examination. We assessed application of AUC for performance of echocardiography following a telehealth visit. In t...

Elderly patients are undergoing surgery more frequently than ever. In this population, spinal anesthesia, which is known to cause sympathetic blockade associated with arterial vasodilation, is proposed as an excellent option. However, its effects on left ventricular systolic function have not been studied. To evaluate left ventricular systolic func...
