Quantification of Mitral Regurgitation in Mitral Valve Prolapse by 3D Vena Contracta Area: Derived Cut-off Values and Comparison with 2D Multiparametric Approach.
Echocardiographic grading of mitral regurgitation (MR) in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is challenging. 3D vena contracta area (3D VCA) has been proposed as valuable method. However, data defining the cut-off values of severity and validation in the subset of patients with MVP are scarce. The aim of this study was to validate the 3D VCA by 3D transesophageal color-Doppler echocardiography (3D-TEE) in patients with MVP and to define the cut-off values of severity grading. The secondary aim was to compare 3D VCA to the EROA-PISA method. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography)

Progression of Mild Mitral Annulus Calcification to Mitral Valve Dysfunction and Impact on Mortality
Mitral annulus calcification (MAC) represents a degenerative process resulting in calcium deposition in the mitral valve apparatus. MAC is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. We sought to examine the long-term significance of mild MAC and its relationship to subsequent mitral valve dysfunction (MVD) and mortality in patients without MVD on the initial echocardiogram.

Radiation Exposure to the Interventional Echocardiographers and Sonographers: A  Call to Action
Interventional echocardiography is a rapidly growing field within the disciplines of cardiology and anesthesiology, with the rise of advanced transcatheter procedures making skilled imagers more important than ever. However, these procedures also involve frequent manipulation of the transesophageal echocardiography probe, which means interventional echocardiographers (IEs) are at risk of long-term occupational radiation exposure. Studies have shown that radiation exposure is linked to various health issues, including cancer, cataracts, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, vascular aging, and early atheros...

Evolving Role of Three-Dimensional Echocardiography for Right Ventricular Volume Analysis in Pediatric Heart Disease: Literature Review and Clinical Applications
Accurate knowledge of right ventricular (RV) volumes and ejection fraction is fundamental to providing optimal care for pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart disease, as well as pulmonary hypertension. Traditionally, these volumes have been measured using cardiac magnetic resonance because of its accuracy, reproducibility, and freedom from geometric assumptions. More recently, an increasing number of studies have described the measurement of RV volumes using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography.
