Left atrial strain analysis was performed using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, and the left atrial volume was derived using the modified Simpson's method. The peak left atrial strain (LAS) and left atrial expansion index (LAEI), as indices of left atrial reservoir function, were measured. The global longitudinal strain (GLS) and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE), which are indices of contractile motion toward the left ventricular apex, were also measured. The correlation between LAS and candidate determinants, including left ventricular systolic longitudinal function, was evaluated, and multivariate regression analysis was performed.Results: A significant correlation was found between LAS and left ventricular systolic longitudinal functions, GLS (r = 0.63, p < 0.001), and MAPSE (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). Two models, which were selected by multiple regression analyses for LAS, included GLS or MAPSE as independent determinants. GLS and MAPSE were also the strongest predictors, among other factors.Conclusion: LAS, when determined by evaluating the left atrial reservoir function, was significantly associated with left ventricular function, especially the systolic longitudinal function. Left ventricular function should be considered when assessing left atrial function by LAS.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"149-156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9557737","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}

The aim of this study was to examine the changes caused by COVID-19 disease on blood flow inside the heart as a possible etiology of intracardiac clot formation.Methods: In a synergic convergence of mathematics, computer science, and cardio-vascular medicine, we evaluated patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 without cardiac symptoms who underwent two-dimensional echocardiography. Patients with normal myocardial motions on echocardiography, normal coronary findings on noninvasive cardio-vascular diagnostic tests, and normal cardiac biochemical examinations but who presented with a clot in their left ventricle were included. To display the velocity vectors of the blood in the left ventricle, motion and deformation echocardiographic data were imported into MATLAB software.Results: Analysis and output of the MATLAB program indicted anomalous blood flow vortices inside the left ventricular cavity, indicating irregular flow and turbulence of the blood inside the left ventricle in COVID-19 patients.Conclusion: Our results suggest that in some COVID-19 patients, cardiac wall motion is not satisfactorily able to circulate the blood fluid in normal directions and that, despite normal myocardium, changes in the directions of blood flow inside the left ventricle might lead to clots in different zones. This phenomenon may be related to changes in blood properties, such as viscosity.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":"21 3","pages":"122-130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10204037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10017806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the field of echocardiography, AI offers the potential to enhance accuracy, speed up reporting, and reduce the workload of physicians. This is an advantage because, compared to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiograms tend to exhibit higher observer variability in interpretation. This review takes a comprehensive viewpoint at AI-based reporting systems and their application in echocardiography, emphasizing the need for automated diagnoses. The integration of natural language processing (NLP) technologies, including ChatGPT, could provide revolutionary advancements. One of the exciting prospects of AI integration is its potential to accelerate reporting, thereby improving patient outcomes and access to treatment, while also mitigating physician burnout. However, AI introduces new challenges like ensuring data quality, managing potential over-reliance on AI, addressing legal and ethical concerns, and balancing significant costs against benefits. As we navigate these complexities, it's important for cardiologists to stay updated with AI advancements and learn to utilize them effectively. AI has the potential to be integrated into daily clinical practice, becoming a valuable tool for healthcare professionals dealing with heart diseases, provided it's approached with careful consideration.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":"21 3","pages":"99-104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10411555","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}

However, clinical implication of routine LA strain measurements in daily practice remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical utility of routine LA strain measurements in daily practice.Methods: From January 6, 2020 to December 28, 2021, 338 consecutive patients underwent echocardiography in Takagi Cardiology Clinic, and all comers were enrolled to the study. Echocardiographic measurements including peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) measurement using speckle tracking echocardiography were attempted in all patients.Results: PALS was obtained in 335 patients (age 71 ± 16 years, male 43%, hypertensive 74%), and mean value was 22.3 ± 11.5%. PALS was progressively impaired with worsening atrial fibrillation (AF) burden. PALS in patients without AF, in patients with history of AF (paroxysmal AF &/or ablation therapy), and in patients with AF onsite were 26.8 ± 9.8%, 20.3 ± 7.9%, and 8.1 ± 3.3%, respectively (anova p < 0.0001). In patients without history of AF at the time of echocardiography, using cut-off value of 15.0% (i.e., mean + 2SD of PALS in AF patients), Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that impaired PALS was associated with increased new-onset AF during follow-up period (log-rank p < 0.0001).Conclusion: In daily practice, PALS represents AF burden. Furthermore, impaired PALS is associated with increased new-onset AF. Therefore, routine LA strain measurements using speckle tracking echocardiography will be useful in risk stratification of AF in daily practice.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":"21 3","pages":"113-121"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10007608","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}
