Article Abstract
• TI is a 3D rendering tool that applies a movable virtual light. • TI may improve anatomic definition and diagnostic yield of transthoracic imaging. • TI is particularly useful for optimal valve anatomy visualization. • New 3D techniques may help achieve TTE images with similar diagnostic yield to TEE.

Timely diagnosing and monitoring of primary graft dysfunction is pivotal for heart transplant patient surveillance. Transthoracic echocardiography is the primary noninvasive method for follow-up of heart transplant recipients, which provides comprehensive information on cardiac morphology and function. It is a sensitive tool in diagnosing rejection, helping to improve therapeutic approaches for this condition, and monitoring cardiac function during therapy.

Background: The causal relationship between migraines and patent foramen ovale (PFO) remains controversial, and a major unresolved question is how to define migraines attributable to PFO. Thus, this study aimed to determine if brain lesions could be a potential indicator of PFO-related migraines.
Methods: Consecutive migraine patients from 2017 to 2019 who underwent transthoracic echocardiography or transcranial Doppler examination with an agitated saline contrast injection were assessed for right-to-left shunts.

Background: Regular imaging surveillance is guideline-recommended for the management of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) but has not been well described in clinical practice. Here we evaluated the frequency of imaging procedures and associated outcomes, procedures, and healthcare costs in patients with TAA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of inpatient and professional claims for 28,459 Medicare beneficiaries age ≥65 years with a diagnosis of TAA between 2017 and 2019 was performed.

Background: Acute myocarditis is a potentially life-threatening cardiac condition and immediate assessment of this disease is imminent. While laboratory tests, electrocardiography or transthoracic echocardiography can provide indirect signs for the presence of acute myocarditis, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables direct visualisation of myocardial inflammation and confirms the diagnosis.Since there is limited accessibility to CMR, the goal of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of an elevation of established biomarkers for the diagnosis of myocarditis and to define a specific rule-out threshold for deferring CMR.
