The Pixel Variation Score: an Echocardiographic Index to Assess Temporal Variation of Mitral Regurgitant Flow
In this study, we investigated whether assessing MR flow variation using a dimensionless index with echocardiography is feasible, clinically meaningful, and related to patient outcomes. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Low-Dose Application of Ultrasound-Enhancing Agents Without Flush in Echocardiography: Prospective Experience From the Edmonton Cancer Registry
Ultrasound-enhancing agents (UEAs) are an integral aspect of echocardiography and allow for enhanced visualization of endocardial borders and improved diagnostic accuracy.1,2 While the risk for anaphylactoid reactions is rare (1:10,000), more common mild adverse reactions from UEAs have been reported.3 In clinical trials with perflutren lipid microbubbles (Definity), back pain or flank pain was reported in 0.6% to 6.2% of cases.4,5 The back/flank pain can be bothersome and was thought to be caused by a complement activation related pseudo allergy (CARPA).

Incidence of Severe Adverse Drug Reactions to Ultrasound Enhancement Agents in a Contemporary Echocardiography Practice
Prior data indicate very rare risk of serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) to ultrasound enhancement agents (UEA). We sought to evaluate the frequency of ADR to UEA administration in contemporary practice. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Use of Three-Dimensional Intracardiac Echocardiography Catheter in the Evaluation of Prosthetic Pulmonary Valves after Transcatheter Replacement
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is commonly performed in patients with congenital heart disease as a safe alternative to replacement via open heart surgery. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a useful technique for evaluating multiple structures that are difficult to assess by other echocardiographic techniques, particularly the pulmonary valve. To our knowledge, the use of three-dimensional (3D) ICE catheters to evaluate prosthetic valves after TPVR has not been reported. Three-dimensional ICE catheters offer a comprehensive evaluation of transcatheter-deployed pulmonary valves through 3D, 3D color, x...

Can We Use an Algorithm as an “Ariadne's Thread” to Escape the Maze of Mitral Regurgitation Phenotype?
We read with great interest the study by Asch et al.1 on the use of a natural language processing–based algorithm for exploring the accuracy of the description of the mechanism of mitral regurgitation (MR) in echocardiographic reports. Although the results are sound and interesting, several methodological questions are raised. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Doppler Echocardiographic Phenotypes in Suspected ‘Severe’ Aortic Stenosis: Matrix-Based Approach to Diagnosis and Management
In this study, an automated matrix-based approach was applied to an echocardiographic database of patients with AS that identified 5 discrete echocardiographic data patterns, 1 concordant and 4 discordant, each reflecting a particular pathophysiology/measurement error that guides further workup and management.

Strain assessment in aortic stenosis: pathophysiology and clinical utility
Contemporary echocardiographic criteria for grading aortic stenosis severity have remained relatively unchanged despite significant advances in non-invasive imaging techniques over the last two decades. More recently, attention has shifted to the ventricular response to aortic stenosis and how this might be quantified. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), semi-automatically calculated from standard 2D echocardiographic images, has been the focus of extensive research. GLS is a sensitive marker of subtle hypertrophy-related impairment in left ventricular function and has shown promise as a relatively robust prognostic marker, ...
