Agitated saline contrast echocardiography reveals a systemic ‐to‐pulmonary venous shunt
We report a case of a 26‐year‐old woman, with a “port‐a‐cath” central venous line, who had an unusual finding in agitated saline contrast echocardiography. Multimodality imaging revealed occlusion of superior vena cava and a systemic‐to‐pulmonary venous shunt. (Source: Echocardiography)

Early modifications of cardiac function in preterm neonates using speckle tracking echocardiography
ConclusionsEchocardiographic assessment of myocardial deformation parameters is feasible in preterm infants. Our data suggest that the maturational process of the myocardium is due to the development of the epicardial layer after birth, which allows the acquisition of the twist. (Source: Echocardiography)
