OBJECTIVE: Moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are present in approximately 20-60% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aims to evaluate the impact of TAVI on MR and TR, pulmonary hypertension, and reverse cardiac remodeling in these patients.  Methods: Out of 240 patients who underwent TAVI, 79 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed. RESULTS: In our study, 46...

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare but fatal complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that is possibly reversible if treated early. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing PH. We attempted to determine if DECT can detect early signs of PH in children with SCD. METHODS: This prospective observational pilot study was conducted at the Geneva University Hospitals and was approved by the local human ethics committee (CCER 2019-01975)...

BACKGROUND: Possible cardiac impairment after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination is a common driver of parental vaccine hesitancy. We performed a comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation of biventricular function in vaccinated children with or without previous COVID-19 compared to healthy controls. METHODS: We conducted a single-center, prospective, case-control study enrolling children and adolescents aged 5-18 years attending the pediatric clinic of the University Hospital of Padua from April to June 2022...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common but overlooked valvular disease, and its association with the etiologic subtypes of ischemic stroke is unclear. We explored the relationship between TR and atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE: Whether exercise-induced venous-to-systemic shunt (EIS) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has different manifestations or characteristics in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients remains unknown. We explored the differences in hemodynamics, echocardiography, and prognosis between IPAH and CTEPH patients with and without EIS. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional cohort study and included 161 PH patients at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), documented in a significant portion of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, has been shown to adversely impact prognosis. In most HCM patients congestive symptoms are consistently elicited by exercise, thus suggesting the need for a provocative test to assess cardiac hemodynamics during effort. Combining cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with echocardiography, we aimed to evaluate the presence of exercise induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (EiPAH), its role in functional limitation and its prognostic significance in a cohort of patients with obstructive and non-obstructive HCM...

Introduction: It is known that there is a complex interaction between asthma and cardiovascular physiology. Some investigations on echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) in asthmatic patients have revealed many findings such as pulmonary hypertension (PHT) and arrhythmia. In this study, we aimed to perform tissue Doppler imaging (TDIE) and conventional echocardiographic (CEI) assessment with many indexes of arrhythmia on electrocardiography (ECG) in asthmatic patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 89 patients, 63 females (70...

AIMS: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, and exercise intolerance have prognostic values, but their interrelation is not fully understood. We investigated how RV function alone and its coupling with pulmonary circulation (RV-PA) predict cardio-respiratory fitness in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). METHODS AND RESULTS: The Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (EARTH) study included 205 HFrEF patients with narrow (n = 85) and prolonged (n = 120) QRS duration undergoing implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation...

INTRODUCTION: In Doppler flow diagnosis of a large placental chorioangioma with vascularization, there may be fetal consequences as cardiac output failure and polyhydramnios. Prenatal percutaneous fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of chorioangioma is a therapeutic option. First, we present 2 cases of chorioangioma treated by fetoscopic laser photocoagulation. Second, we conducted a narrative review to identify all reported cases of chorioangioma treated by fetoscopic laser photocoagulation...

Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is becoming a key examination to assess physical capacity and disease severity in pediatric cardiology. The V̇e/V̇co2 slope has been increasingly used as a surrogate marker for morbidity and mortality in adult heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and for adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, the use of the V̇e/V̇co2 slope in children remains limited in the absence of reference values and clearly identified clinical determinants...

BACKGROUND: HF patients typically show effort intolerance due to a reduction in peak exercise oxygen (peak VO2) consumption, which is related to inability to adapt systolic function to increased demand. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a surrogate marker of cardiac contractility and a powerful predictor of adverse prognosis in chronic heart failure (HF). The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between EF and other echocardiographic findings with peak VO2 in a population of HF individuals undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX)...

OBJECTIVE: The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) provides functional prognostic parameters for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), such as peak volume of oxygen (VO2 ) and minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2 ) slope. Sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) has been recently approved for CHF patients as it reduces cardiovascular (CV) deaths and hospitalization for heart failure (HF). However, the potential beneficial effects of this therapy on exercise performance have been poorly investigated to date...
