Article Abstract
Systolic anterior motion is characterized by the displacement of the anterior mitral leaflet towards the left ventricle outflow tract. Iatrogenic systolic anterior motion occurs after mitral valve repair as a result of mitral annuloplasty. Possible causes include excess height of a redundant posterior mitral leaflet and/or the use of an undersized ring. The condition is usually diagnosed after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass by transoesophageal echocardiography. Apart from conservative measures, the treatment of systolic anterior motion may require the restoration of cardiopulmonary bypass and further surgical valve repair. Strategies for systolic anterior motion correction include an edge-to-edge repair or the use of a larger annuloplasty ring. In this tutorial, we present two ways of reducing posterior leaflet height as a simple option to move the leaflet coaptation more posteriorly.

Aim: To assess the incremental value of real-time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in visualizing tricuspid valve (TV) anatomy for procedural planning and guidance of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in cases of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
Materials And Methods: An observational study was conducted on 54 patients with severe TR. The visualization of the TV leaflets during systole was graded semiquantitatively using predefined criteria: 0 points-no visible leaflet border or tissue; 1.

Background: Stroke volume is an established echocardiographic marker but has not been widely studied in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to evaluate stroke volume in a cohort of uncomplicated anterior STEMI and to assess its prognostic role in those with severe left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction.
Methods And Results: This is a single-centre retrospective analysis of consecutive patients presenting with anterior STEMI who underwent uncomplicated primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Triangular resection is an effective repair technique for isolated segmental posterior leaflet prolapse in mitral valves at low risk for systolic anterior motion. It is applicable in the majority of such cases, is low risk, and has excellent long-term durability. Its simplicity and efficacy make it an essential part of every mitral surgeon's armamentarium.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction poses significant clinical challenges. Although septal reduction therapy (SRT) is the first treatment strategy after medical therapy, mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has been reported in the emerging literature to alleviate the LVOT obstruction related to mitral regurgitation (MR) and systolic anterior motion (SAM).
Aims: In this article, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of M-TEER in managing symptomatic HCM.

A woman in her 70 s presented with fatigue and dyspnoea during exertion. Six years ago, she had been implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker with the lead placement at the high septal site of the right ventricle. Echocardiography demonstrated the presence of the previously detected left ventricular septal bulge along with a newly observed systolic turbulent mosaic at left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and a systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve.
