Comparison of fluoroscopic versus real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic guidance of endomyocardial biopsies
TL;DR: RT3DE-guided EMBx was feasible in the majority of patients and resulted in sheath repositioning in 46% of Patients and bioptome tip reorientation in 35% of cases.
Impact of Pre-Intervention Transaortic Flow Rate Versus Stroke Volume Index on Mortality Across the Hemodynamic Spectrum of Severe Aortic Stenosis: Implications for a New Hemodynamic Classification of Aortic Stenosis.
Anastasia Vamvakidou,Wenying Jin,Oleksandr Danylenko,Jiwan Pradhan,Wei Li,Cathy West,Rajdeep S. Khattar,Roxy Senior +7 more
TL;DR: Stroke volume divided by left ventricular ejection time (FR) is physiologically likely to be a better marker of transvalvular flow in patients with severe aortic stenosis compared with stroke volume index (SVi), a traditional marker.

Contrast Echocardiography in Australian Clinical Practice
Christian Hamilton-Craig,T. Boga,Cathy West,N. Kelly,Russell Anscombe,Darryl J. Burstow,David Platts +6 more
TL;DR: The introduction of a second-generation contrast agent into clinical workflow in a hospital echocardiography department resulted in a statistically significant improvement in endocardial definition, and safely provided diagnostic imaging in cases which were otherwise non-diagnostic.

Sushil Allen Luis,Sushil Allen Luis,Lori A. Blauwet,H. Samardhi,Cathy West,Ramila A. Mehta,Chris R. Luis,Gregory M. Scalia,Fletcher A. Miller,Darryl J. Burstow +9 more
TL;DR: Cut-off values for TTE-derived Doppler parameters of MVP function were specific to prosthesis type and carried high sensitivity and specificity for identifying prosthetic valve dysfunction.
True Bicuspid Aortic Valves are Rare Compared with Functionally Bicuspid Aortic Valves
TL;DR: arrhythmias in cardiomyopathy and may help to better define those at risk of SCD.
