Mashup Score: 17
Conventional echocardiographic parameters such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), fractional area change (FAC), and free-wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) offer limited insights into the complexity of right ventricular (RV) systolic function, while 3D echocardiography-derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF) enables a comprehensive assessment. We investigated the discordance between TAPSE, FAC, FWLS, and RVEF in RV systolic function grading and associated outcomes.

Mashup Score: 11Timing of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Impacts on the Detection Rate of Left Ventricular Thrombus After Myocardial Infarction: - 6 day(s) ago
As part of infrastructure enhancements to ACC-related systems and platforms, the ability to log-in to JACC.org using ACC usernames and passwords will be unavailable from 5 p.m. ET on Friday, May 10 through Tuesday, May 21. During this time, all JACC Journals and clinical guideline content, with the exception of CME activities, will be available to all users. Patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at high risk for left ventricular thrombi (LVT) (1). Independent

Mashup Score: 9
Acute aortic regurgitation results in acute volume overload of a normal sized left ventricle (LV).1 Because of acute onset, LV remodeling has no time to develop, so the combined large aortic regurgitant flow and left atrial inflow result in abruptly increased left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure.2 Left ventricle volume overload can result clinically in an “arterial hyperpulsatility,” also called “cardiac erethism.”3,4 We hypothesized that the arterial hyperpulsatility secondary to acute severe aortic regurgitation could be quantified using transesophageal echocardiography at the level of the aortic isthmus (initial portion of the descending thoracic aorta).

Mashup Score: 1
Morphologic variations of the posterior mitral leaflet have been reported in both autopsy and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic studies, and these variations can have implications for evolving mitral valve repair approaches. A recent study assessing mitral leaflet morphologic variants showed no association of scallop variation with mitral regurgitation (MR).1 However, the impact of…

Mashup Score: 0Spectrum of Pericardial Tamponade: A New Look at an Old Problem - 2 year(s) ago
IntroductionPericardial tamponade encompasses the symptoms and signs of heart compression most typically caused by pericardial effusion. Hemodynamically, an increase in intrapericardial pressure due to pericardial effusion results in an increase in intracardiac pressures with pressure equilibration. It is a persistent misconception that pericardial tamponade is an all-or-none phenomenon (1). In…

Pericardial effusion is relatively common in high-risk patients in acute care settings, and pericardial tamponade should be a consideration in these patients.1,2 Acute pericardial tamponade typically presents as cardiogenic shock, whereas hypotension is uncommon in subacute (medical) tamponade caused by pericardial fluid accumulation within days to weeks.3 Physical examination findings are…

Answer: close to 50%. Unfortunately, conventional 2D parameters are only modestly associated with RVEF-based assessment, but still may have predictive value, especially when combined. An important study below https://t.co/KyJ1EwrNdA @ASE360 @denisamuraru
