Prognostic Value of Right Ventricular Global Wasted Work in Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: A 3D Echocardiographic Study Open
Aim Right ventricular (RV) function determines symptom burden and clinical outcomes in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Global wasted work (GWW) quantifies mechanical inefficiencies in RV performance associated with elevated afterload, but is …
Mid-term follow-up of non-ischemic heart preservation in heart transplantation Open
Background: Ex-vivo perfusion of donor hearts is gaining importance in minimizing ischemia-reperfusion injury during heart transplantation. The Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) device, developed in 2016, has shown promising results i…
Right ventricular stroke work index from echocardiography in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension—the role in short-term follow-up assessment Open
Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure causes high mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). RV stroke work index (RVSWi) poses as a potential predictor of outcome. We evaluated how RVSWi by echocardiography (ECHO) or …

Diastolic Filling in Patients After Heart Transplantation Is Impaired Due to an Altered Geometrical Relationship Between the Left Atrium and Ventricle Open
Background The geometrical relationship between atrial and ventricular short‐axis cross‐sectional area determines the hydraulic forces acting on intracardiac blood. This is important for diastolic filling. In patients undergoing heart tran…
Impact of post-transplant diabetes on left ventricular function following heart transplantation Open
Background Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is an end-stage treatment option for heart failure (HF). Although post-transplant diabetes (PTDM) is a well-described complication following immunosuppressive treatment, the impact on LV fu…
Impact of bridging with left ventricular assist device on right ventricular function following heart transplantation Open
Aims Patients awaiting orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) can be bridged utilizing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that reduces left ventricular filling pressures, decreases pulmonary artery wedge pressure, and maintains adequa…
Impact of post- transplant diabetes on left ventricular function following heart transplantation Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is a standard treatment option for end-stage heart failure (HF). Although post-transplant diabetes (PTDM) is a main complication due …
Right ventricular stroke work index by echocardiography in adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension Open
Background In adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), right ventricular (RV) failure may worsen rapidly, resulting in a poor prognosis. In this population, non-invasive assessment of RV function is challenging. RV stroke…
Echocardiographic assessment of chamber size and ventricular function during the first year after heart transplantation Open
Aims Detecting changes in ventricular function after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is important but interpretation of findings is complicated by lack of data on early graft adaptation. We…
Right ventricular stroke work index in adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: - a comparison between echocardiography and right heart catheterization Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main funding source(s): Swedish Society of Pulmonary Hypertension Background In adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), right ventric…
P1451Gender related differences in echocardiographic findings post heart transplantation -Impact of sex-mismatch on biventricular function Open
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate gender-specific differences in HTx patients and if gender mismatch affect echocardiographic parameters of size and function.
Discriminatory ability of right atrial volumes with two‐ and three‐dimensional echocardiography to detect elevated right atrial pressure in pulmonary hypertension Open
Summary Aims Pulmonary hypertension ( PH ) patients have high mortality due to right ventricular failure. Predictors of poor prognostic outcome are increased right atrial volume ( RAV ) and elevated mean right atrial pressure ( mRAP ). Our…
