However, the gold standard that is cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) encounters limitations in terms of availability. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) may be an accessible alternative in detecting scar and assessing scar transmurality. We aim to evaluate the predictive value of 2D-STE, encompassing measures of global, segmental and layer-specific strain, with respect to myocardial viability and scar size at 6 months follow-up.Methods and results: In 43 patients admitted for primary AMI, we conducted a comparative analysis of strain parameters (including global longitudinal strain (GLS), segmental longitudinal strain (SLS), layer-specific GLS and SLS and the transmural strain gradient from endocardium to epicardium) in relation to conventional echocardiographic parameters at baseline in predicting for scar size and the transmurality index, as measured by CMR, 6 months post enrollment. We demonstrate a moderate correlation between both GLS and conventional echocardiographic parameters, and scar size as well as transmurality index. Wall motion score index exhibited superior predictive performance over GLS and left ventricular ejection fraction in anticipating scar formation. At a cut-off of - 13.3% for any scar and - 11.5% for transmural scar, SLS can predict scar formation. Layer-specific strain did not provide added predictive value.Conclusion: SLS, but not layer-specific strain, during admission after AMI is an easy and accessible quantitative tool for predicting scar formation and transmurality extent at 6 months follow-up. GLS correlates well with scar size, suggesting its potential utility as a predictive tool.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"109-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142584622","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}

Conversely, even though LV SR during isovolumic relaxation (SRIVR) is more strongly related to invasive measurements of LV diastolic function, to date, studies on the role of SRIVR in the long-term prognosis assessment are lacking. Thus, the goal of this study was to assess the potential additive prognostic value of SRIVR on top of conventional cardiovascular risk factors in a general population.Methods: 657 subjects (mean age 51.6y; 47.6% males) were included in this study and, besides clinical and standard echocardiographic assessment, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-based SR was measured during IVR (SRIVR), early diastole (SRe), and atrial contraction (SRa) in the mid-segment of the inferior, inferolateral, lateral, and septal wall of the LV.Results: During the follow-up period (median 12.1 years), the total number of major adverse cardiac events was 85 (13.4%). Overall, after adjustment for known cardiovascular risk factors and important echocardiographic indices in a multivariable-adjusted Cox regression model, SRIVR of the inferolateral wall (SRIVRinflat) remained an independent predictor of fatal and nonfatal cardiac events (HR: 1.49, p = 0.016), along with GLS (HR: 1.35, p = 0.027), age (HR: 1.09, p < 0.001), and male sex (HR: 2.06, p = 0.037). None of SRIVR measured in the other myocardial walls were associated with cardiac outcome.Conclusion: SRIVRinflat predicted adverse outcome in the general population, on top of conventional cardiovascular factors. However, its incremental value as a prognosticator remained limited.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"86-98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477170","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":1.1,"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}

Existing HFpEF diagnostic algorithms primarily target patients with dyspnea and metabolic comorbidities, such as obesity, which are more prevalent in Western populations. However, in Asian countries, HFpEF cases are less frequently associated with obesity, leading to less prominent dyspnea and more noticeable symptoms such as fatigue. By incorporating exercise stress echocardiography and focusing on early-stage HFpEF, particularly in patients with symptoms beyond dyspnea, we seek to enable early diagnosis and intervention, ultimately extending healthy life expectancy and improving quality of life.

Certified by the Japanese Society of Echocardiography, the study includes participants aged 20 and older who undergo exercise stress echocardiography. The primary goal is to develop a scoring model for diagnosing HFpEF in heart-failure stages A, B, and C.

Furthermore, which factor affects the measurement error also has not been elucidated.Methods: We enrolled 150 patients without myocardial infarction and local asynergy who underwent echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). Echocardiographic LV diastolic diameter (LVDD) and LV systolic diameter (LVDS) were measured at both MV-tip and LV-mid, and the LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and end-systolic volume (LVESV) were quantified using CMRI. We quantified the degree of aortic wedging as the angle between the anterior wall of the aorta and the ventricular septal surface (ASA).Results: The average LVDD was smaller and average LVDS larger when measured at the MV-tip than at the LV-mid. In regression analyses, the correlation coefficient between LVDD and LVEDV was larger at LV-mid (R = 0.89) than at MV-tip (R = 0.82), and the correlation coefficient between LVDS and LVESV also larger at LV-mid (R = 0.93) than MV-tip (R = 0.87). ASA, Valsalva diameter, left atrial diameter, patient height, and LV mass significantly affected the echocardiographic measurement error, but no factor affected the measurement error when quantifying LVDD at the LV-mid level.Conclusions: The echocardiographic LV diameter measured at LV-mid has a stronger correlation with LV chamber size derived from CMRI than measurements at MV-tip.
