Article Abstract
Echocardiography allows assessment of cardiac anatomy and function. A tailored approach to echocardiographic assessment is essential in hemodynamic unstable patients. Standard views allow comprehensive examination and also reduce the chances to oversee unexpected findings. TTE should be first choice in emergency and intensive care medicine. TEE is standard of care in intraoperative setting. 3 D echocardiography is valuable in specific situations. Written reporting of examination is mandatory.

Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC Location University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has been established as a safe and effective treatment for anastomotic leakage. While rare, major aortic hemorrhage has been reported as a severe complication potentially associated with EVT. However, significant hemorrhages have also been observed in patients with transmural defects in the upper gastrointestinal tract, without the use of EVT.

Introduction: Endurance athletes are expected to present a cardiac remodeling characterized by eccentric hypertrophy. Differentiation from underlying cardiomyopathy mimicking a similar cardiac remodeling may be challenging. Myocardial work indexes (MWI) have been shown to be useful in distinguishing between physiological adaption and pathological changes in the athletes' heart.

Introduction: The natural course and clinical significance of moderate mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are still debated. This study aimed to determine the course of moderate functional MR after CABG.
Methods: In this registry-based cohort, patients who underwent isolated elective CABG at Tehran Heart Center between 2010 and 2017 were included.

Introduction: Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is an important study in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). There are limited data on acute kidney injury (AKI) after CTPA in APE patients. The aim was to evaluate frequency and predictors of AKI in patients with the first APE episode.
