Abstract

Background: Tricuspid annulus (TA) size and function plays an important role in decision-making process about the need of associated TA annuloplasty during left sided cardiac surgery. Recommendations about echo assessment of TA don't indicate the view and the timing where TA should be measured. Our aim was to study TA diameters and shortening in different 2D TTE views to assess the extent of their variability. Methods: Cross-sectional study of normal volunteers. TA was measured from 3 2DTTE views (apical 4-CH, LAX-RV inflow, SAX basal) at 5 time points during cardiac cycle. TA fractional shortening diameter was obtained as (TV opening early-filling – Mid-systole) / TV opening early-filling. Result: 100pts; 42%male; 44±13yrs. TA diameters are in the Table. Fractional shortening of TA was 22±7%, 18±8%, 31±16% in 4-CH, LAX-RV inflow and SAX basal views respectively. Conclusion: This study support new references values for TA evaluation using 2D TTE. Values vary according to 2D TTE view and cardiac cycle time, showing the dynamism and complex geometry of TA

Abstract

Background: Quantitative analysis of mitral valve (MV) can discriminate among various mechanisms causing valve insufficiency. There are no established reference values for MV geometry, nor data on its feasibility and reproducibility with latest transthoracic 3D echocardiography (3DTTE). Methods: Eighty-one consecutive healthy volunteers (43+13 years, range 18-70; 33 men) with good apical window underwent a 3D full-volume acquisition of MV apparatus (32+2 vps) using Vivid E9 (BT 12, GE Healthcare, Horten, N). MV datasets were analyzed offline using a software recently developed for 3DTTE (TomTec MV assessment 2.0, Unterschleissheim, D). Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility were assessed in 15 subjects and expressed as intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: Five subjects were excluded due to low quality of 3D dataset with poor MV tracking (feasibility 94%). The average analysis time of one dataset (including manual editing) was 2’. Reference values of MV parameters and their reproducibility are reported in Table. Leaflet tenting and annulus measures were positively correlated with body surface area (BSA, r=0.34-0.53, p , 0.001), but not with age. After correcting for BSA, there were no gender differences in MV parameters. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of MV by 3DTTE is highly feasible and reproducible, and reference values are reported. Our findings may support the implementation of MV quantitative analysis by 3DTTE in clinical settings.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Bridging therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin is usually recommended in patients who must stop oral anticoagulants before surgical or invasive procedures. To date, there is no universally accepted bridging regimen tailored to the patient's thromboembolic risk. This prospective inception cohort management study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of an individualized bridging protocol applied to outpatients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Oral anticoagulants were stopped 5 days before the procedure. Low-molecular-weight heparin was started 3 to 4 days before surgery and continued for 6 days after surgery at 70 anti-factor Xa U/kg twice daily in high-thromboembolic-risk patients and prophylactic once-daily doses in moderate- to low-risk patients. Oral anticoagulation was resumed the day after the procedure with a boost dose of 50% for 2 days and maintenance doses afterward. The patients were followed up for 30 days. Of the 1262 patients included in the study (only 15% had mechanical valves), 295 (23.4%) were high-thromboembolic-risk patients and 967 (76.6%) were moderate- to low-risk patients. In the intention-to-treat analysis, there were 5 thromboembolic events (0.4%; 95% confidence interval, 0.1 to 0.9), all in high-thromboembolic-risk patients. There were 15 major (1.2%; 95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 2.0) and 53 minor (4.2%; 95% confidence interval, 3.2 to 5.5) bleeding episodes. Major bleeding was associated with twice-daily low-molecular-weight heparin administration (high-risk patients) but not with the bleeding risk of the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: This management bridging protocol, tailored to patients' thromboembolic risk, appears to be feasible, effective, and safe for many patients, but safety in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves has not been conclusively established.

Abstract

Background: Cardiology divisions reshaped their activities during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the organization of echocardiographic laboratories and echocardiography practice during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, and the expectations for the post-COVID era. Methods: We analyzed two different time periods: the month of November during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020) and the identical month during 2019 (November 2019). Results: During the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital activity was partially reduced in 42 (60%) and wholly interrupted in 3 (4%) echocardiographic laboratories, whereas outpatient echocardiographic activity was partially reduced in 41 (59%) and completely interrupted in 7 (10%) laboratories. We observed an important change in the organization of activities in the echocardiography laboratory which reduced the operator-risk and improved self-protection of operators by using appropriate personal protection equipment. Operators wore FFP2 in 58 centers (83%) during trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE), in 65 centers (93%) during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and 63 centers (90%) during stress echocardiography. The second wave caused a significant reduction in number of echocardiographic exams, compared to November 2019 (from 513 ± 539 to 341 ± 299 exams per center, −34%, p &lt, 0.001). On average, there was a significant increase in the outpatient waiting list for elective echocardiographic exams (from 32.0 ± 28.1 to 45.5 ± 44.9 days, +41%, p &lt, 0.001), with a reduction of in-hospital waiting list (2.9 ± 2.4 to 2.4 ± 2.0 days, −17%, p &lt, 0.001). We observed a large diffusion of point-of-care cardiac ultrasound (88%), with a significant increase of lung ultrasound usage in 30 centers (43%) during 2019, extended to all centers in 2020. Carbon dioxide production by examination is an indicator of the environmental impact of technology (100-fold less with echocardiography compared to other cardiac imaging techniques). It was ignored in 2019 by 100% of centers, and currently it is considered potentially crucial for decision-making in cardiac imaging by 65 centers (93%). Conclusions: In one year, major changes occurred in echocardiography practice and culture. The examination structure changed with extensive usage of point-of-care cardiac ultrasound and with lung ultrasound embedded by default in the TTE examination, as well as the COVID-19 testing.

Abstract

Background— Despite the fact that assessment of right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) carries important implications for patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, its implementation in clinical settings has been hampered by the limited reference values and the lack of uniformity in software, method, and definition used for measuring RVLS. Accordingly, this study was designed to establish (1) the reference values for RVLS by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography; and (2) their relationship with demographic, hemodynamic, and cardiac factors. Methods and Results— In 276 healthy volunteers (55% women; age, 18–76 years), free wall and septum RVLS (6 segments) and free wall RVLS (3 segments) using both 6- and 3-segment regions of interest were obtained. Feasibility of 6-segment RVLS was 92%. Free wall RVLS from 3- versus 6-segment regions of interest had similar values, yet 6-segment region of interest was more feasible (86% versus 73%; P P P Conclusions— This is the largest study providing sex- and method-specific reference values for RVLS. Our data may foster the implementation of 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography–derived RV analysis in clinical practice.

Abstract

Background Left atrial (LA) longitudinal strain (LS) using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography has emerged as an important diagnostic and prognostic parameter in various cardiovascular conditions. However, its reference values, their correlations with demographics characteristics, and its physiologic determinants remain to be established. Methods Accordingly, 171 healthy volunteers (mean age, 45 ± 12 years; 61% women) in whom LS was obtained from both apical four- and two-chamber dedicated views of the left atrium, considering the P-P interval on the electrocardiogram as the reference cardiac cycle, were prospectively studied. From the LA LS curve we measured the extent of the negative deflection (LSneg), representing LA active contraction, the positive deflection (LSpos) during LA filling, and total LS (LStot), as the sum of LSneg and LSpos values. Results Average values for biplane LA LSpos, LSneg, and LStot were 19.7%, −14.5%, and 33.3%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, age, left ventricular (LV) global LS and volume, and LV diastolic function were the main physiologic determinants of LA LSpos ( R 2 = 0.57) and LStot ( R 2 = 0.40), whereas systolic blood pressure, E/A ratio, global LS, and LV stroke volume were the main determinants of LA LSneg ( R 2 = 0.20). Women had higher LSpos and LStot than men, particularly before 50 years of age. LA LSpos and LStot decreased with aging, with different trends in men and women. Conclusions LA LS values are different in men and women and should be interpreted taking into account patient age and LV function as well. These reference values may help identify subclinical LA dysfunction in several cardiovascular or systemic conditions.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite growing interest in applying three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) to measure left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation in various diseases, normative values for 3D speckle-tracking echocardiographic parameters and the effects of demographic, hemodynamic, and technical factors on these values are unknown. METHODS: In 265 healthy volunteers (age range, 18-76; 57% women), longitudinal strain (3DLε), circumferential strain (3DCε), radial strain (3DRε), and area strain (3DAε) were measured by using vendor-specific (Vsp) 3D speckle-tracking echocardiographic equipment. LV strain was also measured by using Vsp two-dimensional (2D) and vendor-independent 3D speckle-tracking echocardiographic software packages, for comparison. RESULTS: Reference values (lower limit of normality) for Vsp 3D STE were -17% to -21% (-15%) for 3DLε, -17% to -20% (-14%) for 3DCε, -31% to -36% (-26%) for 3DAε, and 47% to 59% (38%) for 3DRε. Three-dimensional longitudinal strain decreased, whereas 3DCε increased, with aging (P < .003), with different trends in men and women. Men had lower 3DLε, 3DRε, 3DAε, and 2D longitudinal strain than women (P < .02). LV 3D strain parameters were also influenced by LV volumes and mass, image quality, and temporal resolution (P < .02). Reference values obtained by Vsp 2D STE were -20% to -23% (-18%) for 2D longitudinal strain, -20% to -24% (-17%) for 2D circumferential strain, and 39% to 54% (28%) for 2D radial strain (P < .001 vs Vsp 3D STE). Significantly different 3DCε and 3DRε values were obtained with vendor-independent versus Vsp 3D STE (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: In healthy subjects, reference values of LV 3D strain parameters were significantly influenced by demographic, cardiac, and technical factors. Limits of normality of LV strain by Vsp 3D STE should not be used interchangeably with Vsp 2D STE or with Vin 3D STE software.

Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare disease, which still carries a poor prognosis. PH is characterized by a pressure overload on the right ventricle (RV), which develops hypertrophy, followed by a progressive failure. Accordingly, recent evidence showed that RV function has an important prognostic role in patients with PH. Echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), computed tomography, and nuclear imaging allow a non-invasive evaluation of the RV size and function, but only the first two are routinely used in the clinical arena. Some conventional echocardiographic parameters, such as TAPSE (tricuspid anular plane systolic excursion), have demonstrated prognostic value in patients with PH. Moreover, there are some new advanced echo techniques, which can provide a more detailed assessment of RV function. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows measurement of RV volumes and ejection fraction, and two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking (STE), allows assessment of RV myocardial mechanics. CMR provides accurate measurement of RV volumes, ejection fraction, and mass and allows the characterization of the RV wall composition by identifying the presence of fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement. Although CMR seems to hold promise for both initial assessment and follow-up of patients with PH, its main role has been restricted to diagnostic work-up only.
