Aortic Valve Annular Characteristics in Isolated Left Ventricular Non-Compaction-Detailed Analysis from the Three-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiographic MAGYAR-Path Study.

Left ventricular (LV) non-compaction (NC) is a rare ventricular phenotype characterized by a thin compacted epicardial layer and an extensive non-compacted endocardial layer with prominent LV trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. According to the recent literature, no information is available regarding the abnormalities of the aortic valve annulus (AVA) in LVNC. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to perform a detailed analysis of the AVA by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in LVNC patients and to compare the findings with matched healthy controls.

A prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous Optison for CE-echo in pediatric patients and determine the optimal dose of Optison. Subjects ≥ 9 and < 18 years with suboptimal echocardiograms (defined as ≥ 2 contiguous segments that could not be adequately visualized) were enrolled.

Objectives: Subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR) is an effective indicator for evaluating the balance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. This study aims to explore the association between SEVR and cardiovascular events and mortality in a Chinese community-based population.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Infective aortitis caused by Corynebacterium striatum in a patient with twice orthotopic heart transplantation.

Valvular hemangiomas are uncommon vascular anomalies that appear on the surface of heart valves. They can cause an array of non-specific symptoms and are consequently rarely diagnosed, with only 31 such cases (including the present one) reported to date in the literature; the present case is the first report of an arteriovenous hemangioma with a tricuspid localization. During the preoperative echocardiographic examination for a ventricular septal defect, a mass was incidentally discovered on the tricuspid valve of a 9-month-old infant.
