IVC measurement for the noninvasive evaluation of central venous pressure
AbstractCentral venous pressure (CVP) is one of only a handful of variables that can be used to assess a patient ’s volume status to attempt to optimize stroke volume. The gold standard method for assessing CVP is though pulmonary artery catheterization, which is invasive and risks severe complications such as pneumothorax and cardiac conduction abnormalities. Current noninvasive methods for estimating CVP s uch as jugular venous pressure assessment are imperfect with wide inter-examiner variability. The inferior vena cava (IVC) is a highly compliant vessel that uniquely does not constrict in response to hypovolemia, mak...

Novel regional longitudinal strain by speckle tracking to detect significant coronary artery disease in patients admitted to the emergency department for chest pain suggestive of acute coronary syndrome
ConclusionDecreased myocardial function in four adjacent LV segments assessed by strain has the potential to detect significant CAD in patients admitted with chest pain and negative/slightly elevated initial troponin.Trial registration: Current Research information system in Norway (CRISTIN). Id: 555249. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Three-dimensional echocardiography for predicting mitral stenosis after MitraClip for functional mitral regurgitation
ConclusionsIn functional MR patients treated with MitraClip, leaflet area and annulus area evaluated using 3D-TEE had high predictive values for postprocedural MS, and their predictive abilities were higher than those of preprocedural TMPG or MVOA. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Atrial fibrillation and stroke: importance of left atrium as assessed by echocardiography
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, which has been increasing dramatically. AF has unfavorable consequences, such as stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Of these, stroke has been considered to be the serious complication. Recently, direct oral anticoagulation or new technologies, such as the WATCHMAN left atrium (LA) appendage closure device, have emerged to prevent stroke. Therefore, the accurate estimation of thromboembolic risk and appropriate prevention are essential for high-risk patients with AF. Although CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores has been widely used to...

Echocardiographic imaging of temporary percutaneous mechanical circulatory support devices
AbstractCardiogenic shock is a state of end-organ hypoperfusion due to primary cardiac dysfunction and portends a poor prognosis. Shock refractory to inotropic and vasopressor support is often an indication for mechanical circulatory support. When mechanical support device complications or malfunction arise, echocardiography offers rapid assessment of device position and function. Repositioning can be done under echocardiographic guidance. Despite the widespread use of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support, there is a dearth of information regarding echocardiography as it pertains to these devices. In this review, we...
