Cardiac geometry, function and mechanics in left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy with preserved ejection fraction
ConclusionsImpaired LV geometry and longitudinal mechanics, as well as increased myocardial stiffness as expressed by rigid body rotation, characterize LVNC with preserved EF when compared with controls. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular volume in repaired tetralogy of Fallot: a novel approach to an older technique
ConclusionsThis novel technique correlates strongly with CMR, better than traditional parameters. While echocardiogram will not replace CMR, this method would be useful in predicting the RV volume, progression of dilation, and timing of CMR. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Left atrial reverse remodeling predicts long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy
ConclusionAn increase in LASr is associated with favorable long-term outcome after CRT. The observed clinical importance of LA reverse remodeling after CRT asks for further validation in larger prospective cohorts. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Cardiac involvement in patients recovered from COVID-19 identified using left ventricular longitudinal strain
ConclusionThe present study suggests that COVID-19-induced cardiac involvement could persist after recovery of the disease and may be detected by deformation abnormalities using STE. COVID-19-induced myocardial involvement often shows specific LV deformation patterns due to pronounced edema and/or myocardial damage in basal LV segments. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

The association of presystolic wave with subclinical left-ventricular dysfunction in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism
ConclusionPSW prevalence was 66% in SCH patients. PSW velocity was significantly correlated with MPI and LVGLS. The presence of PSW was independently associated with subclinical LVD in SCH patients. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Right atrial volume index to left atrial volume index ratio is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in cardiogenic shock
ConclusionRAVI/LAVI is an easily assessed novel echocardiographic parameter strongly associated with the survival and or the need for mechanical circulatory support in patients with CS. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)

Assessment of atria function after percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography
Conclusions2D-STE can be considered a feasible and simple technique for assessment of atrial deformation in ASD patients, and it useful to assess the effect of percutaneous ASD closure on atrial reservoir function by measuring peak atrial longitudinal strain. (Source: Journal of Echocardiography)
