Deep learning for atrioventricular regurgitation diagnosis: an external validation study Open
Aims Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (MR and TR) are common in older adults and associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the diagnostic gold standard, access remains limited in m…

Integration of implantable device therapy in patients with heart failure. A clinical consensus statement from the <span>Heart Failure Association</span> (<span>HFA</span>) and <span>European Heart Rhythm Association</span> (<span>EHRA</span>) of the <span>European Society of Cardiology</span> (<span>ESC</span>) Open
Implantable devices form an integral part of the management of patients with heart failure (HF) and provide adjunctive therapies in addition to cornerstone drug treatment. Although the number of these devices is growing, only few are suppo…

Echocardiographic age and sex estimation using artificial intelligence predicts overall survival Open
Background Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is increasingly used by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) devices. Age and sex can be estimated by artificial intelligence (AI) based on various sources. The current study aimed to test whethe…

Repair with annuloplasty only of balanced bileaflet mitral valve prolapse with severe regurgitation Open
OBJECTIVES Repair of severe mitral valve and mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with degenerative bileaflet pathology can be challenging. Initial results with a ring-only repair (ROR) approach have shown promising results, but long-term…

Pseudo-discordance mimicking low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis in transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis Open
Discordant echocardiographic findings are commonly found in patients with symptomatic AS. Underestimation of the true mean gradient due to technical difficulties is an important cause of these discrepant findings. LVOT area by echocardiogr…

Secondary chordal resection with septal myectomy for treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
OBJECTIVES Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction causes symptoms of heart failure in most patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Resection of the secondary mitral valve (MV) chordae has recently been shown to move the MV apparatus…

View article: Rationale and design of the EACVI AFib Echo Europe Registry for assessing relationships of echocardiographic parameters with clinical thrombo-embolic and bleeding risk profile in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Rationale and design of the EACVI AFib Echo Europe Registry for assessing relationships of echocardiographic parameters with clinical thrombo-embolic and bleeding risk profile in non-valvular atrial fibrillation Open
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for management of atrial fibrillation (AF) recommend the use of CHA2DS2VASc risk score for assessment of thromboembolic (TE) risk, whereas the stratification of bleeding risk should be ob…

Echo-Doppler estimation of left ventricular filling pressure: results of the multicentre EACVI Euro-Filling study Open
The present Euro-Filling study demonstrates that the new 2016 recommendations for assessing LVFP non-invasively are fairly reliable and clinically useful, as well as superior to the 2009 recommendations in estimating invasive LVEDP.

Rational and design of EuroCRT: an international observational study on multi-modality imaging and cardiac resynchronization therapy Open
The EuroCRT is a large European multicentre prospective observational study led by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. We aim to explore if combing the value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiography could be…

Exercise Dynamics in Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Open
Secondary mitral valve regurgitation (MR) remains a challenging problem in the diagnostic workup and treatment of patients with heart failure. Although secondary MR is characteristically dynamic in nature and sensitive to changes in ventri…
