Objectives: The present study aims to assess correlations and agreements between parameters and classification of the right ventricular (RV) function obtained by 2D echocardiography (2DE) - tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV systolic wave velocity (S'T), fractional area change (FAC) and RV ejection fraction (3D RVEF) obtained by advanced 3D echocardiography (3DE).

Materials And Methods: Patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were enrolled in the study after emergency coronary angiography. Standard 2DE and 3DE acquisitions were carried out in the first 48 hours since admission and later analysed offline by an advanced echocardiographer with five years of training in 2DE and three years of training in 3DE.

Misclassification of recovery in dilated cardiomyopathy by echocardiography as compared to cardiac MRI.

Accurate assessment of cardiac function is the cornerstone of DCM diagnosis and management. Studies have compared CMR and 2D-TTE but the impact of these measurements on HF classification and assessment of EF improvement has not been explored. We aim to compare left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and volumes as measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and two dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients in the initial EF based classification of heart failure (HF) and subsequent follow-up.

Accuracy of cath lab activation decisions for STEMI-equivalent and mimic ECGs: Physicians vs. AI (Queen of Hearts by PMcardio).

Introduction: Accurate ECG interpretation is crucial to identify occlusive myocardial infarction (OMI) to determine the need for immediate catheterization laboratory activation (CLA). STEMI-equivalent and STEMI-mimic ECG patterns deviate from conventional STEMI criteria, risking misclassification of OMI cases. The diagnostic accuracy for these complex ECGs is unknown.

Impact of cardiovascular comorbidities on echocardiographic parameters in aortic stenosis.

Clinical Department of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Interventions, University Hospital, Krakow, Poland.

Introduction: Comorbidities in aortic stenosis (AS) significantly impact treatment outcomes by influencing intervention timing, choice, and prognosis. Diseases affecting cardiac hemodynamics independently of AS progression may distort echocardiographic interpretation, risking misclassification of AS severity. Understanding how comorbidities alter key echocardiographic parameters may facilitate more precise evaluation.
