Echocardiographic derived pulmonary artery wedge pressure is associated with mortality, heart hospitalizations, and functional capacity in chronic systolic heart failure: insights from the HF-ACTION trial
ConclusionsAmong HFrEF patients, echocardiographic-derived PAWP was associated with increased mortality, reduced functional capacity and heart failure hospitalization. ePAWP may be a viable noninvasive marker to risk stratify HFrEF patients. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Myocardial mechanics and cardiac biomarkers in adults with severe anorexia nervosa
ConclusionsWhile LVEF and GLS did not differ, regional strain variation was noted among patients with AN. Elevated NT-proBNP may reflect increased wall tension from LV atrophy. Whether strain heterogeneity can identify patients with AN, at risk for sudden death, requires further study. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Reliable measurement methods for the isovolumic relaxation time: comparisons of dual gate Doppler and seven other methods
ConclusionsAmong the conventional methods, the PW method was the simplest and most practical method for measuring the IVRT in any conditions as arrhythmias. It is important to recognize the characteristics of IVRTs based on the measurement method. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Role of echocardiography in patients treated with immune checkpoints inhibitors
AbstractImmune-related adverse events occurring in the heart (cardiac immune-related adverse events; irAEs) by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) include myocarditis, arrhythmia, conduction disturbance, pericardial diseases, and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Cardiac irAEs are rare but life-threatening. In cardio-oncology, the study of cardiac disorders caused by cancer treatment has recently attracted attention, and such studies may elucidate the pathophysiology of cardiac irAEs and contribute to management strategies. This review discusses the pathogenic mechanisms underlying cardiac irAEs and the role of echocardiography in...
