Sensitivity of transcranial doppler and transoesophageal echocardiography for the detection of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions TCD with bubble test is sensitive and specific for the detection of right–to–left shunts due to PFO confirmed at right heart catheterisation. In this population, TOE had low sensitivity for RLS. There was no difference in physical PFO size between TOE positive and negative patients.

Risk of stroke in first-ever acute urinary retention: A 10-year population-based study
Conclusion There was significant difference in the risk of stroke between patients with and without AUR. Preventive measures should be taken for patients with AUR, which may be associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke. Large-scale population-based studies in other countries and regions are recommended.

Factors relating to impaired stroke volume during the 6-minute walk test in patients with systemic sclerosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired stroke volume in patients with systemic sclerosis was observed at rest and during exercise, and the factors relating to the cardiac response seemed to be pulmonary function and the extent of pulmonary hypertension. PMID: 27463117 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

RV stroke work in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension: estimation based on invasive haemodynamic assessment and correlation with outcomes
Conclusions RVSW can be estimated in children with PAH, and is significantly associated with abnormal WHO class, the need for septostomy, as well as mortality. Indices accounting for RV performance as well as ventricular-vascular coupling may be useful in the prognosis and, hence, management of children with PAH.

A case of stroke during cardiac catheterisation: It's not common, but it is a double whammy!
We report a case of a 57-year-old lady with acute myocardial infarction who developed stroke on the cardiac catheterisation table. The case illustrates the need for a protocol of care, vigilant cardiologist and staff who can recognise the symptoms and signs as well as good collaborative efforts between the cardiology, neurology and, at times, the interventional radiology teams.

Thrombolysis After Protamine Reversal of Heparin for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Catheterization: Case Report and Literature Review
Conclusions: There are limited reports of protamine reversal of heparin before IV-tPA administration. To our knowledge, there are only 6 AIS cases including ours. Three cases received 0.6 mg/kg of tPA dose. All have favorable outcomes and no intracranial hemorrhage was reported. Protamine reversal of heparin for AIS after CC seems to be safe. Further studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic safety and efficacy of this strategy.

High Right Ventricular Stroke Work Index Is Associated with Worse Kidney Function in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Conclusion: High right ventricular workload indicated by high RVSWI is associated with worse renal function in patients with Cpc-PH. Further prospective studies are needed to better understand this association.Cardiorenal Med 2018;8:123 –129

Right ventricular stroke work in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension: a promising approach
To the Editor, We read with great interest the article by Di Maria et al,1 describing the importance of RV performance, especially RV stroke work (RVSW), in children with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The authors investigated the relation between echocardiographic measurements of RV function and the ‘gold standard’ of right heart catheterisation in children and found that RVSW strongly correlates with non-invasive data of RV function.1 The authors concluded that RVSW correlates with outcome parameters, for example, abnormal WHO class, and mortality, in children with PAH. We completely agree with the fi...

Regional contribution to ventricular stroke volume is affected on the left side, but not on the right in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Abstract To develop more sensitive measures of impaired cardiac function in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), since detection of impaired right ventricular (RV) function is important in these patients. With the hypothesis that a change in septal function in patients with PH is associated with altered longitudinal and lateral function of both ventricles, as a compensatory mechanism, we quantified the contributions of these parameters to stroke volume (SV) in both ventricles using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Seventeen patients (10 females) evaluated for PH underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) a...

Effect of Supervised Training Therapy on Pulmonary Arterial Compliance and Stroke Volume in Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Inoperable or Persistent Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that supervised exercise training may improve right ventricular function and PAC at the same time. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate these findings.Respiration

Echocardiographic pressure –strain loop‐derived stroke work of the right ventricle: validation against the gold standard
ConclusionsIntegrated echo measurement of pressure –strain loop-derived SW correlates with PV loop-based assessment of RV SW. Wasted work correlates with invasive measures of load-independent RV function. Given the methodological and anatomical challenges of RV work assessment, evolution of this approach by incorporating more elaborated echo analy sis data and an RV reference curve might improve its reliability to mirror invasively assessed RV SW.

Long‐term follow‐up after PFO device closure
ConclusionsDevice closure of PFO can be performed safely with very good long‐term resolution of atrial shunting. Recurrent neurologic events after PFO closure may reflect additional comorbid risk factors unrelated to the potential for paradoxical embolism. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Underfilling decreases left ventricular function in pulmonary arterial hypertension
AbstractTo evaluate the association between impaired left ventricular (LV) longitudinal function and LV underfilling in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Thirty-nine patients with PAH and 18 age and sex-matched healthy controls were included. LV volume and left atrial volume (LAV) were delineated in short-axis cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) cine images. LV longitudinal function was assessed from atrio-ventricular plane displacement (AVPD) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) was assessed using feature tracking in three long-axis views. LV filling was assessed by LAV and by pulmonary artery wedge pressu...
