According to the guideline, velocity ratio (VR) < 0.25 by echocardiography is defined as severe AS, but utility of VR in patients with PLFLG AS remains unknown. This retrospective study was therefore conducted to investigate the utility of VR for a diagnosis of severe AS based on CT in patients with PLFLG AS.Methods: We studied 58 patients with PLFLG AS. Severity of AS was defined as calcium score derived from cardiac CT.Results: Of the 58 patients, 28 (48.3%) were diagnosed with severe AS based on CT, while 23 of them (82.1%) had VR < 0.25. It was noteworthy that receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal VR cutoff value for a diagnosis of severe AS was 0.25, with an area under the curve of 0.870 (P < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of VR < 0.25 for a diagnosis of severe AS were 82.1%, 86.7%, 85.2% and 83.9%, respectively. Furthermore, patients who match the value of VR and severity of AS based on CT had higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation, higher serum brain natriuretic peptide concentration, larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and left ventricular stroke volume index.Conclusion: The measurement of VR is simple, and VR < 0.25 can be used for diagnosis of patients with PLFLG AS as severe. Our findings may thus have clinical implications for routine clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142113198","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. The STOP-HFPEF (The Multicenter STudy On a Precise algorithm for diagnosis of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) study is a multicenter prospective observational investigation in Japan. 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.

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":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","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}

Myocardial mechanics have not been well studied in adults with AN. Whether LV mass or illness duration, markers of AN severity, correlate with abnormal strain imaging is unknown.Methods: We performed a prospective study among patients hospitalized with severe AN (n = 29) [body mass index (BMI) < 14.5 kg/m2] and sex/age-matched controls (n = 16) (BMI > 18.5 kg/m2). LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was calculated via modified-biplane method and LV mass was derived using the truncated ellipsoid formula. Apical 2-, 3-, and 4-chamber images were used to generate regional strain mapping and global longitudinal strain (GLS). N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were measured and linear regression was used to determine independent predictors of strain.Results: Mean LVEF did not differ (65% ± 6.0 vs. 62% ± 4.4, p = 0.06), but LV mass was substantially reduced (61.6 ± 16.8 vs. 97.6 ± 19.1 g, p < .0001). GLS was similar (- 20.6 ± 3.8 vs. - 20.9 ± 2.8, p = 0.82), however, the basal strain was worse (-18.7 ± 4.8 vs. -21.9 ± 4.1, p = 0.03). Lower LV mass was associated with worsening GLS (r = - 0.40, p = 0.003), but not among controls (p = 0.89). Median (IQR) NT-proBNP (pg/ml) was higher in patients with AN [141 (59-257) vs. 35.5 (21-56.5) p = 0.0007]. Both increasing NT-proBNP and illness duration were associated with worsening strain patterns in AN (both p = .001).Conclusions: While LVEF and GLS did not differ, regional strain variation was noted among patients with AN. Elevated NT-proBNP may reflect increased wall tension from LV atrophy. Whether strain heterogeneity can identify patients with AN, at risk for sudden death, requires further study.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"79-87"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138292036","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}
