Cardio-oncology: what you need to know now for clinical practice and echocardiography.

Echo research and practice

Larsen CM, Mulvagh SL.
PMID: 28254996
Echo Res Pract. 2017 Mar;4(1):R33-R41. doi: 10.1530/ERP-17-0013. Epub 2017 Mar 02.

Cardio-oncology is a rapidly growing field aimed at minimizing the effects of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. To meet this aim, patients are assessed at baseline to define their risk of cardiotoxicity and then followed closely during...

A retrospective analysis of mitral valve pathology in the setting of bicuspid aortic valves.

Echo research and practice

van Rensburg A, Herbst P, Doubell A.
PMID: 28515127
Echo Res Pract. 2017 Jun;4(2):21-28. doi: 10.1530/ERP-17-0016. Epub 2017 May 17.

The therapeutic implications of bicuspid aortic valve associations have come under scrutiny in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era. We evaluate the spectrum of mitral valve disease in patients with bicuspid aortic valves to determine the need for closer...

Confirmed early myocardial rupture in a patient with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) following late presentation of ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Stress echocardiography in patients with morbid obesity.

Echo research and practice

Shah BN, Senior R.
PMID: 27249552
Echo Res Pract. 2016 Jun;3(2):R13-8. doi: 10.1530/ERP-16-0010. Epub 2016 Apr 07.

The incidence of significant obesity is rising across the globe. These patients often have a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and are frequently referred for noninvasive cardiac imaging tests. Stress echocardiography (SE) is widely used for assessment of patients...

Pulmonary transit time measurement by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in left ventricular dyssynchrony.

Echo research and practice

Herold IH, Saporito S, Mischi M, van Assen HC, Bouwman RA, de Lepper AG, van den Bosch HC, Korsten HH, Houthuizen P.
PMID: 27249553
Echo Res Pract. 2016 Jun;3(2):35-43. doi: 10.1530/ERP-16-0011. Epub 2016 May 16.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary transit time (PTT) is an indirect measure of preload and left ventricular function, which can be estimated using the indicator dilution theory by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). In this study, we first assessed the accuracy of PTT-CEUS by...

An extracardiac unruptured right sinus of valsalva aneurysm complicated with atherothrombosis.

Echo research and practice

Zhang J, Liu Y, Liu L, Deng Y.
PMID: 27249813
Echo Res Pract. 2016 Mar;3(1):K1-6. doi: 10.1530/ERP-15-0028. Epub 2015 Dec 08.

UNLABELLED: SummaryWe present quite a rare case of extracardiac unruptured right sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SVA) complicated with atherothrombosis in a young adult man. A 35-year-old male with a giant unruptured SVA arising from the right coronary sinus (RCS)...

An overlooked case of pacemaker-related heart failure.

Echo research and practice

Patel HC, Mariani JA.
PMID: 29117988
Echo Res Pract. 2017 Dec;4(4):K57-K60. doi: 10.1530/ERP-17-0057. Epub 2017 Nov 08.

This case describes an iatrogenic cause of heart failure: the pacemaker syndrome. The diagnosis was initially overlooked but in retrospect could have easily been made by reviewing the rhythm strip recorded during the echocardiogram. The patient eventually received the...

Diagnosis and assessment of dilated cardiomyopathy: a guideline protocol from the British Society of Echocardiography.

Echo research and practice

Mathew T, Williams L, Navaratnam G, Rana B, Wheeler R, Collins K, Harkness A, Jones R, Knight D, O'Gallagher K, Oxborough D, Ring L, Sandoval J, Stout M, Sharma V, Steeds RP.
PMID: 28592613
Echo Res Pract. 2017 Jun;4(2):G1-G13. doi: 10.1530/ERP-16-0037.

Heart failure (HF) is a debilitating and life-threatening condition, with 5-year survival rate lower than breast or prostate cancer. It is the leading cause of hospital admission in over 65s, and these admissions are projected to rise by more...

Right heart function deteriorates in breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Echo research and practice

Boczar KE, Aseyev O, Sulpher J, Johnson C, Burwash IG, Turek M, Dent S, Dwivedi G.
PMID: 27457966
Echo Res Pract. 2016 Sep;3(3):79-84. doi: 10.1530/ERP-16-0020. Epub 2016 Jul 25.

BACKGROUND: Cardiotoxicity from anthracycline-based chemotherapy is an important cause of early and late morbidity and mortality in breast cancer patients. Left ventricular (LV) function is assessed for patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy to identify cardiotoxicity. However, animal studies suggest that...

Predictive value of various Doppler-derived parameters of atrial conduction time for successful atrial fibrillation ablation.

Echo research and practice

Shanks M, Valtuille L, Choy JB, Becher H.
PMID: 26795694
Echo Res Pract. 2015 Dec 01;2(4):99-107. doi: 10.1530/ERP-15-0027. Epub 2015 Oct 21.

Various Doppler-derived parameters of left atrial electrical remodeling have been demonstrated to predict recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after AF ablation. The aim of this study was to compare three Doppler-derived measures of atrial conduction time in patients undergoing...

3D transoesophageal echocardiography in the TAVI sizing arena: should we do it and how do we do it?.

Echo research and practice

PMID: 28302656
Echo Res Pract. 2017 Mar;4(1):R21-R32. doi: 10.1530/ERP-16-0041.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was initially proven as an alternative to valve replacement therapy in those beyond established risk thresholds for conventional surgery. With time the technique has been methodically refined and offered to a progressively lower risk...
