This study establishes transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy-specific mitral regurgitation thresholds, revealing lower severity cutoffs than guidelines and enhancing mortality and heart failure hospitalization risk prediction.
This study explores cardiac structural and functional changes over prolonged spaceflight and simulated Martian gravity, revealing transient adaptations that stabilize without lasting detrimental effects, suggesting effective cardiovascular
Aficamten significantly improves diastolic function and cardiac structure in symptomatic nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, indicating benefits beyond outflow tract gradient reduction.
Echocardiography-derived right ventricular phenotypes improve prognostic accuracy beyond standard risk tools in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients at first follow-up, refining survival predictions and guiding management strategies.
This study identifies pre-transplant left atrial volume index as a potential predictor for overall one-year morbidity following kidney transplantation, highlighting its clinical relevance beyond traditional cardiac risk markers.
A large Chinese cohort study reveals a U-shaped association between left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mortality in heart failure, highlighting both small and large ventricular sizes as independent risk factors.
A cohort study reveals that swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is associated with transient mild cardiac dysfunction and elevated biomarkers, distinguishing it from asymptomatic swimmers and guiding acute assessment strategies.
Unsupervised clustering of echocardiographic and hemodynamic data in sepsis reveals four distinct cardiovascular subphenotypes, each with unique mortality risks and responses to treatment, enabling personalized shock management strategies.
The PREVUE-VALVE study reveals a significant prevalence of moderate or greater valvular heart disease among U.S. adults aged 65-85, highlighting substantial public health implications and the value of decentralized echocardiographic screeni
This study assesses the accuracy of emergency physician-interpreted point-of-care ultrasound compared to cardiologist-interpreted consultative echocardiography for detecting right ventricular dysfunction in emergency patients with pulmonary
In a 3919-patient individual-level meta-analysis, acute cardiac CT detected cardiac thrombi in 6.2% of ischemic stroke cases, exceeded transthoracic echocardiography yield, added modest imaging burden, and identified patients with worse 90-
In Kenyan outpatient clinics, an AI-enabled ECG algorithm showed strong discrimination for left ventricular systolic dysfunction, with 95.6% sensitivity and 99.1% negative predictive value against echocardiography.
Higher CKM syndrome stages correlate with adverse cardiac remodeling and increased heart failure risk in older adults, as shown in the ARIC Study.
A large-scale multicenter study demonstrates that moderate mixed aortic valve disease (MAVD) carries a mortality risk comparable to severe aortic stenosis when symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction are present, challenging current guidel
A large-scale retrospective study challenges the classic view of cardiac amyloidosis, revealing that while restriction is the dominant phenotype at diagnosis, nearly one-third of patients present with preserved function, and progression pat
A large-scale study identifies restrictive physiology as the dominant phenotype in cardiac amyloidosis. While preserved function offers better survival, rapid progression to restriction underscores the importance of early diagnosis and moni
This exploratory analysis of the ODYSSEY-HCM trial demonstrates that mavacamten induces modest regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improves diastolic and left atrial function in nonobstructive HCM, despite a 21.5% incidence of re
A study of 204 patients demonstrates that the GLIDE Score, originally for edge-to-edge repair, effectively predicts procedural success in transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TTVA), with predictive accuracy further enhanced by incorp
A landmark study demonstrates that measuring flow convergence from the parasternal long-axis window significantly outperforms apical PISA in feasibility and matches Cardiac MRI accuracy for assessing aortic regurgitation severity.
A centralized notification and support pathway using prior echocardiographic LVH increased antihypertensive initiation and new hypertension diagnoses versus usual care in a pragmatic randomized trial.
