We placed intravenous access in the upper extremity and used ultrasound-guided access in the superficial greater saphenous vein in the lower extremity, evaluating best view and presence and size of PFO if found.Results: On review of 910 subjects, twenty subjects completed the study. The average greater saphenous vein measured 0.49 ± 0.16 cm in diameter, and depth of 1.07 ± 0.66 cm. The apical four chamber view to visualize the atrial septum was considered superior (p < 0.005) to the subcostal and parasternal short axis views. A PFO was found in five of the twenty subjects with concordance among all readers via lower extremity injection, compared to four subjects via upper extremity injection. Lower extremity injection of contrast identified significantly (p < 0.05) larger PFO compared to upper extremity injection. Complications from greater saphenous vein access included one superficial thrombus, one vasovagal syncope and four with ecchymosis (all < 3cm).Conclusions: PFO are found significantly larger when utilizing the greater saphenous vein of the lower extremity compared to the upper extremity for injection of agitated saline and best visualized with the apical four-chamber view.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143693837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constant heart exposure to increased afterload progresses to maladaptive remodeling, leading to cardiac dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate cardiac function in response to hypertension treatment.Methods: One hundred patients diagnosed with hypertension were evaluated two times, with 3 to 6 months intervals, before and after antihypertensive therapy. Patients underwent clinical and echocardiographic evaluation in both visits and the interest effect of antihypertensive therapy on cardiac function was studied.Results: 58 men and 42 women with a mean age of 60.81 ± 11.8 years were studied. Mean systolic and diastolic pressure in the first visit was 163.05 ± 20.6 and 95.40 ± 10.4, respectively. On the second visit, mean systolic and diastolic pressure was 129.95 ± 10.4 and 82.35 ± 7.2 respectively (P value for both < 0.001). The mean value of Global Longitudinal Strain as the main parameter for evaluating left ventricular systolic function was -15.54% on the first visit and changed to -16.95% on the second visit (P value 0.025).Conclusions: According to the results of this study, changes in parameters, indicator of systolic and diastolic function, after 3-6 months of antihypertensive therapy are significant. The most important point is that maladaptive remodeling of the heart is reversible if hypertension is diagnosed timely. To follow-up patients under antihypertensive therapy, GLS and parameters indicator of diastolic dysfunction, have the best diagnostic value in terms of detecting early stages of cardiac injury.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"10-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141628053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
