TL;DR

Whatever the quantification method, the prevalence of FMR has declined compared to the past, driven by the contemporary GDMT, and EROA-PISA remains the reference standard, while automated 3D volumetric assessment serves as a physiologically consistent complementary approach.

Predicting the reduction of functional mitral regurgitation with optimized medical therapy in HFrEF patients by standard echocardiography and non-invasive pressure-volume loop model.

BACKGROUND Predicting the improvement of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) to medical therapy is an important, yet overlooked, clinical issue. The objective of the study was to evaluate whether echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular (LV) mechanoenergetic parameters and of LV volumes is associated with imp...

Exercise stress echocardiography for diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a multicentre study.

Addition of LA strain imaging with optimized rule-in or rule-out values improves diagnostic triage by expanding non-invasive rule-in/rule-out classifications while identifying patients who still require invasive testing in the evaluation of HFpEF.

Non-Invasive Hemodynamic And Echocardiographic Changes Following Vericiguat Initiation In Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Prospective Registry Study.

Vericiguat reduces cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization in high-risk patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but its non-invasive haemodynamic and remodelling effects in real-world practice remain incompletely characterized. We aimed to evaluate changes in non-invasive hemodynamic...

Strain imaging in heart failure: from early detection to prognostic assessment

Abstract Traditional left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF)-centric approaches often detect cardiac dysfunction late and offer limited insights into myocardial mechanics. Myocardial strain imaging by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography has emerged as a high-sensitivity alternative for comprehensive evalu...

Echocardiography-derived hemodynamic forces in cardiac resynchronization therapy: association with reverse remodeling and long-term outcomes.

BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves survival and symptoms in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and electromechanical dyssynchrony, yet up to 30-40% do not respond despite guideline-based selection. Hemodynamic forces (HDF) quantify intraventricular pressure gradients and...
