Each year, the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies, brings together in a single document the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and the cardiovascular risk factors listed in the AHA’s My Life Check - Life’s Simple 7 (Figure1), which include core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure [BP], and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update represents …

Recommendations for the Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by Echocardiography: An Update from the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging

A 45-year-old woman presented with increasing dyspnoea and right-sided pleuritic chest pain 3 months post-catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A CT scan suggested that the right inferior pulmonary vein was completely occluded at the ostium. Transoesophageal echocardiography assessment of the right inferior pulmonary vein (RIPV on Panels A and B ) identified a narrow turbulent colour flow jet confirming …

3-D Transoesophageal echocardiography for guiding percutaneous stenting of pulmonary vein stenosis

Background: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a key role in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). However, a significant number of studies are nondiagnostic due to poor image quality. Enhancement of the blood pool-tissue interface with contrast-enhanced TTE (CE-TTE) can improve image quality in suboptimal studies. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate feasibility and clinical utility of CE-TTE in the assessment of patients with ACHD. Methods: A retrospective analysis of all CE-TTE performed in ACHD patients at our institution from August 2007 to May 2014 was performed. Endocardial definition scores (EDS) for each segment in the right and left ventricles were graded pre- and postcontrast imaging, as 1 = good, 2 = suboptimal, 3 = not seen. The endocardial border definition score index (EBDSI) was also calculated pre- and postcontrast imaging. Results: Twenty patients with ACHD had 24 CE. Summation data for all ventricular EDS for unenhanced TTE vs. CE-TTE imaging was: EDS 1 = 136 vs. 314, EDS 2 = 119 vs. 72, EDS 3 = 162 vs. 31, respectively. Wilcoxon matched-pairs rank-signed test showed a significant ranking difference (improvement) pre- and postcontrast for the combined ventricular data (P < .0001) and the individual left and right ventricular data (all P < .0001). The EBDSI for combined ventricular data using CE-TTE was significantly lower than for noncontrast imaging (1.23 ± 0.49 vs. 2.06 ± 0.62, P < .0001). There was one minor contrast adverse reaction. Conclusions: CE-TTE resulted in significantly improved right and left ventricular endocardial definition and improved EDBSI. CE-TTE should be viewed as an additional imaging technique that is available to help assess patients with ACHD, especially those with nondiagnostic images.

The Feasibility and Clinical Utility of Microsphere Contrast-enhanced Transthoracic Echocardiography in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

Conclusion: Abnormal myocardial strain, detectable by 2D TTE, can improve after percutaneous AVR similar to that seen in the open AVR. Further trials are needed to look at long term TTE parameters in percutaneous valve replacement. doi:10.1016/j.hlc.2009.05.097
