Article Abstract

Right ventricular (RV) function is an important determinant of prognosis in pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease. The accurate assessment of RV function is however limited by the presence of concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Implantation of a novel transcatheter tricuspid valve device in this case highlights the importance of recognizing these limitations, and the need to define alternative ways to measure RV systolic function, contextualized to pulmonary pressure in patients with severe TR. It also demonstrates the clinical potential of perforation of the pop-off zone in this prosthesis, to create mild residual TR, thereby reducing the increase in RV afterload of this intervention, and its impact on RV systolic function.

Objectives: The Charlson comorbidity index reflects overall comorbidity burden and has been applied in cardiovascular medicine. However, its role in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Charlson comorbidity index in this setting and to construct a nomogram model for early risk identification and individualized management to improve outcomes.

Aims: Skeletal muscle energetic augmentation might be a mechanism via which intravenous iron improves symptoms in heart failure, but no direct measurement of intrinsic mitochondrial function has been performed to support this notion. This molecular substudy of the FERRIC-HF II trial tested the hypothesis that ferric derisomaltose (FDI) would improve electron transport chain activity, given its high dependence on iron-sulfur clusters which facilitate electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation.

Methods And Results: Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle biopsies were taken before and 2 weeks after randomization.

Background: Automated cardiac MR segmentation enables accurate and reproducible ventricular function assessment in Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), whereas manual segmentation remains time-consuming and variable.

Purpose: To evaluate the deep learning (DL)-based models for automatic left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), and LV myocardium segmentation in ToF, compared with manual reference standard annotations.

Study Type: Retrospective.

Background: Morbid obesity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diastolic dysfunction, particularly in non-cardiac surgeries, has been associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify associated clinical risk factors using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Introduction: Repaired total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) patients with preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) have reductions in echocardiographic metrics, such as left atrial reservoir function and pulmonary venous variability index (PVVI). We hypothesized reduced preoperative left atrial strain mechanics in isolated TAPVC patients serve as risk factors for postoperative PVO. We also evaluated echocardiographic metrics and clinical characteristics associated with preoperative and postoperative PVO, as well as compared these to healthy controls.
