RESUMEN Introducción: La Sociedad Europea de Cardiología recomienda para la evaluación del dolor torácico un algoritmo con medición seriada de dos troponinas de alta sensibilidad separadas por una hora. Sin embargo, la alta eficacia y seguridad solo se han estimado según supuestos basados en modelos teóricos. Probamos por primera vez su desempeño en nuestro medio cuando se integra en la rutina diaria. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo unicéntrico que incluyó a pacientes no seleccionados que presentaban sospecha de infarto sin elevación del ST en el servicio de emergencias, a los que se les practicó el algoritmo SEC 0/1h utilizando troponina T de alta sensiblidad. Se evaluó el comportamiento en términos de incidencia a 30 días de los eventos de infarto agudo de miocardio, muerte cardiovascular y el combinado de infarto agudo de miocardio, muerte o revascularización coronaria. Resultados: Se incluyeron 1351 pacientes con una edad media de 61 ± 14 años, 12,4% de diabéticos y 35,8% de evento coronario previo. La tasa de infarto agudo de miocardio fue del 11% con una mortalidad del 0,29%. De acuerdo con la aplicación del algoritmo, 917 pacientes fueron catalogados como “externar” (67%); 270, como “observar” (20%); y 164, como “internar” (13%). La tasa del evento infarto agudo de miocardio resultó del 0,3% en “externar”; del 7%, en “observar”; y del 77,4%, en “internar” (p < 0,001). Por su lado, la muerte o revascularización coronaria resultó de 7,7% en “externar”; del 17,7%, en “observar”; y del 80,4%, en “internar” (p < 0,001). Conclusiones: El algoritmo de 1 hora presentó una buena capacidad para estratificar a pacientes que consultan con sospecha de infarto agudo de miocardio con un gran valor predictivo negativo para excluir el evento de infarto a los 30 días, aunque dicho valor disminuye cuando el evento considerado es la necesidad de revascularización coronaria. ABSTRACT Background: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommends an algorithm for the evaluation of chest pain with serial measurement of two high sensitivity troponins separated by one hour. However, the high efficacy and safety of the algorithm has only been estimated according to assumptions based on theoretical models. We tested for the first time its performance in the real world by incorporating it into the daily routine of our center. Methods: This is a prospective, single center study using the ESC 0/1h algorithm with high sensitivity troponin T on unselected patients who presented at the emergency department with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Efficacy and safety were assessed in terms of the 30-day incidence of acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and the composite of acute myocardial infarction, death or coronary revascularization. Results: A total of 1,351 patients were included in the study. Mean age was 61±14 years, 12.4% were diabetics and 35.8% had previous history of coronary events. The rate of acute myocardial infarction was 11% and the rate of mortality 0.29%. According to the application of the algorithm, 917 patients were catalogued as “rule out” (67%), 270 as “observe” (20%) and 164 as “rule in” (13%). The rate of acute myocardial infarction was 0.3% in “rule out”, 7% in “observe” and 77.4% in “rule in” (p

RESUMEN Introducción: La fracción de eyección es un parámetro débil para evaluar la función ventricular en la hipertrofia ventricular. Es de fundamental importancia analizar aspectos de la mecánica ventricular que podrían diferenciar una amiloidosis cardiaca de una miocardiopatía hipertrófica. Objetivo: Comparar el comportamiento del strain longitudinal y otros parámetros de la mecánica ventricular entre pacientes con miocardiopatía hipertrófica y amiloidosis cardíaca ambos con fracción de eyección conservada. Material y métodos: Estudio comparativo, prospectivo realizado en 15 pacientes con amiloidosis cardíaca (Grupo G 1) y 15 pacientes con miocardiopatía hipertrófica (G 2), ambos con fracción de eyección conservada (> 50%). Fueron analizados con ecocardiografía por seguimiento de marcas (speckle tracking), parámetros de strain y rotacionales del VI. El strain longitudinal se obtuvo a partir de planos apicales de 4, 3 y 2 cámaras. El strain circunferencial y la rotación ventricular a partir de planos transversales del VI. Se calculó el giro: suma de rotación apical y basal (°), torsión (giro / distancia base-ápex del VI (°/cm)) y los nuevos parámetros: producto de deformación (multiplicación entre el strain longitudinal global y el strain circunferencial apical); índice de deformación (°/%): (giro / strain longitudinal) y el cociente fracción de eyección / strain longitudinal global Resultados: Los pacientes con amiloidosis cardíaca presentaron valores significativamente menores de fracción de eyección (58,08% ± 6,16 vs. 67,15% ± 8,09; p = 0,012) y de strain longitudinal global (-12,61% ± 4,32 vs. -17,15% ± 3,95; p = 0,008) a expensas de los segmentos basales. No se constataron diferencias significativas con el giro, la torsión, el strain circunferencial y el radial. El producto entre strain longitudinal y el circunferencial apical resultó disminuido mientras que el cociente fracción de eyección / strain longitudinal global se encontró aumentado de manera significativa en los pacientes con amiloidosis. Conclusiones: El producto strain longitudinal x strain circunferencial apical y el cociente fracción de eyección / strain longitudinal global son parámetros útiles que permiten diferenciar pacientes con amiloidosis cardíaca de pacientes con miocardiopatía hipertrófica. ABSTRACT Background: Ejection fraction is a poor parameter to assess left ventricular function in ventricular hypertrophy. It is highly important to analyze aspectis of ventricular mechanics that could differentiate cardiac amyloidosis from hypertrophic car-diomyopathy. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare longitudinal strain and other ventricular mechanical parameters between patientis with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac amyloidosis, both with preserved ejection fraction. Methods: A comparative, prospective study was conducted in 15 patientis with cardiac amyloidosis Group (G) 1 and 15 pa-tientis with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (G2), both presenting preserved ejection fraction (>50%). Patientis were analyzed with speckle tracking echocardiography and strain and left ventricular (LV) rotational parameters. Longitudinal strain was obtained from apical 4-, 3- and 2-chamber planes. Circumferential strain and ventricular rotation were obtained from LV transverse planes. Twist: algebraic sum of apical and basal rotation (°), torsion [twist/LV base-apex distance (º/cm)] and the new parameters: deformation product (global longitudinal strain × apical circumferential strain); deformation index: twist/ longitudinal strain (°/%) and ejection fraction/global longitudinal strain ratio were calculated. Resultis: Patientis with cardiac amyloidosis presented significantly lower ejection fraction (58.08%±6.16 vs. 67.15%±8.09; p=0.012) and global longitudinal strain values (-12.61%±4.32 vs. -17.15%±3.95; p=0.008) at the expense of basal segmentis. No significant differences were found for twist, torsion, and circumferential and radial strain. The product between longitudinal strain and apical circumferential strain decreased, while the ejection fraction/global longitudinal strain ratio was significantly increased in patientis with cardiac amyloidosis. Conclusions: The product of longitudinal strain × apical circumferential strain and the ejection fraction/global longitudinal strain ratio are useful parameters that allow differentiating cardiac amyloidosis from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patientis.

- Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and has a close correlation with acute coronary syndromes. The aim of our study is to describe the incidence, predisposing factors and outcome of patients with de novo AF after an acute coronary syndrome in a population representative of our environment. Methods: We conducted a sub-analysis of the BUENOS AIRES I registry, which included 1110 patients with non- ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) followed-up at 6 months. Results: The incidence of de novo AF was 7.7%. The independent predictors of de novo AF were age (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.021.08; p = 0.001), initial presentation as MI (OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.20-4.57; p = 0.012) and requirement of myocardial revascularization surgery (OR 6.86; 95% CI 3.95-11.89; p < 0.001). Patients who developed AF had greater all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and bleeding events ≥BARC type 2. The development of de novo AF after NSTE-ACS was identified as an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality (OR, 3.67; 95% CI 1.25-10.76; p = 0.018) and of bleeding events ≥ BARC type 2 (OR, 3.024; 95% CI, 1.49-6.11; p = 0.002). Conclusions: This prespecified sub-analysis of the BUENOS AIRES I registry demonstrated a significant incidence of de novo AF in the setting of a NSTE-ACS, associated with elderly patients, greater acute myocardial structural damage and need for myocardial revascularization surgery, with worse outcome in terms of adverse clinical events at mid-term follow-up., Introducción: La fibrilación auricular (FA) es la arritmia con mayor incidencia a nivel mundial y tiene una clara asociación con los síndromes coronarios agudos. El propósito de nuestro trabajo es describir la incidencia, los factores predisponentes y el pronóstico de pacientes con FA de novo luego de un síndrome coronario agudo, en una población representativa de nuestro medio. Material y métodos: Se realizó un subanálisis del registro BUENOS AIRES I, el cual incluyó 1110 pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del ST (SCASEST), con un seguimiento a 6 meses. Resultados: Se evidenció una incidencia del 7,7% de FA de novo y se identificaron como factores predictores independientes de su desarrollo la edad (OR 1,04; IC95% 1,02-1,08; p = 0,001), la presentación inicial con infarto agudo de miocardio (OR 2,35; IC95% 1,20-4,57; p = 0,012) y la necesidad de revascularización quirúrgica (OR 6,86; IC95% 3,95-11,89; p <0,001). Los pacientes que desarrollaron FA presentaron mayor mortalidad por todas las causas, mayor mortalidad cardiovascular y eventos de sangrado BARC ≥2. Se identificó a la FA de novo post-SCASEST como un factor predictor independiente de mortalidad cardiovascular (OR 3,67; IC95% 1,25-10,76; p = 0,018) y sangrado a 6 meses BARC ≥2 (OR 3,024; IC95% 1,49-6,11; p = 0,002). Conclusiones: Este subanálisis preespecificado del registro BUENOS AIRES I demostró una incidencia significativa de FA de novo en el contexto de un SCASEST, vinculada a una mayor edad, mayor daño estructural cardíaco agudo y requerimiento de cirugía de revascularización, y con una peor evolución en términos de eventos clínicos adversos en el seguimiento a mediano plazo.

- Abstract
[Abstract] With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in stress imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within and beyond CAD. ABCDE protocol was the fruit of SE 2020, and is the seed of SE 2030, which is articulated in 12 projects: 1-SE in coronary artery disease (SECAD); 2-SE in diastolic heart failure (SEDIA); 3-SE in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA); 4-SE post-chest radiotherapy and chemotherapy (SERA); 5-Artificial intelligence SE evaluation (AI-SEE); 6-Environmental stress echocardiography and air pollution (ESTER); 7-SE in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (SETOF); 8-SE in post-COVID-19 (SECOV); 9: Recovery by stress echo of conventionally unfit donor good hearts (RESURGE); 10-SE for mitral ischemic regurgitation (SEMIR); 11-SE in valvular heart disease (SEVA); 12-SE for coronary vasospasm (SESPASM). The study aims to recruit in the next 5 years (2021-2025) ≥10,000 patients followed for ≥5 years (up to 2030) from ≥20 quality-controlled laboratories from ≥10 countries. In this COVID-19 era of sustainable health care delivery, SE2030 will provide the evidence to finally recommend SE as the optimal and versatile imaging modality for functional testing anywhere, any time, and in any patient.

Dolor en el pecho - síndrome coronario agudo - troponina T - medición de riesgo - Abstract
RESUMEN Introducción: El score HEART consiste en una prueba sencilla que fue diseñada para estratificar a los pacientes que consultan al servicio de emergencias por dolor torácico, según su riesgo de presentar un síndrome coronario agudo a corto plazo. Fue creado inicialmente con troponina de cuarta generación, pero el advenimiento de la troponina de alta sensibilidad impuso su incorporación al score y la reevaluación de su comportamiento. Objetivo: Nos propusimos evaluar el comportamiento del score HEART con troponina de alta sensibilidad. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo que incluyó 1464 pacientes (p) que consultaron al servicio de emergencia por dolor torácico y que tenían electrocardiograma sin elevación del segmento ST. Se evaluó la incidencia de MACE (combinado de infarto agudo de miocardio, muerte y revascularización) a 30 días. Resultados: El índice clasificó 739 pacientes (50,5 %) como de bajo riesgo, 515 pacientes (35,2%) de riesgo intermedio y 210 pacientes (14,3%) de alto riesgo. La incidencia de la combinación de infarto agudo de miocardio, muerte y revascularización fue del 1,35% en el primer grupo; del 20%, en el segundo; y del 71%, en el tercero (long rank test p < 0,001). El área bajo la curva global para la combinación de infarto agudo de miocardio, muerte y revascularización fue de 0,91 (0,89-0,93). Conclusiones: El score HEART que utiliza troponina de alta sensibilidad tiene una gran capacidad para clasificar pacientes con dolor torácico de acuerdo con su riesgo de presentar eventos cardiovasculares en el corto plazo.

- Abstract
An enlarged left atrial volume index (LAVI) at rest mirrors increased LA pressure and/or impairment of LA function. A cardiovascular stress may acutely modify left atrial volume (LAV) within minutes. Aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and functional correlates of LAV-stress echocardiography (SE) Out of 514 subjects referred to 10 quality-controlled labs, LAV-SE was completed in 490 (359 male, age 67 ± 12 years) with suspected or known chronic coronary syndromes (n = 462) or asymptomatic controls (n = 28). The utilized stress was exercise in 177, vasodilator in 167, dobutamine in 146. LAV was measured with the biplane disk summation method. SE was performed with the ABCDE protocol. The intra-observer and inter-observer LAV variability were 5% and 8%, respectively. ∆-LAVI changes (stress-rest) were negatively correlated with resting LAVI (r = − 0.271, p < 0.001) and heart rate reserve (r = -.239, p < 0.001). LAV-dilators were defined as those with stress-rest increase ≥ 6.8 ml/m
2 , a cutoff derived from a calculated reference change value above the biological, analytical and observer variability of LAVI. LAV dilation occurred in 56 patients (11%), more frequently with exercise (16%) and dipyridamole (13%) compared to dobutamine (4%, p < 0.01). At multivariable logistic regression analysis, B-lines ≥ 2 (OR: 2.586, 95% CI = 1.1293–5.169, p = 0.007) and abnormal contractile reserve (OR: 2.207, 95% CI = 1.111–4.386, p = 0.024) were associated with LAV dilation. In conclusion, LAV-SE is feasible with high success rate and low variability in patients with chronic coronary syndromes. LAV dilation is more likely with reduced left ventricular contractile reserve and pulmonary congestion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Background: Ejection fraction is a poor parameter to assess left ventricular function in ventricular hypertrophy. It is highlyimportant to analyze aspects of ventricular mechanics that could differentiate cardiac amyloidosis from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare longitudinal strain and other ventricular mechanical parameters betweenpatients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac amyloidosis, both with preserved ejection fraction.Methods: A comparative, prospective study was conducted in 15 patients with cardiac amyloidosis [Group (G) 1] and 15 patientswith hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (G2), both presenting preserved ejection fraction (>50%). Patients were analyzedwith speckle tracking echocardiography and strain and left ventricular (LV) rotational parameters. Longitudinal strain wasobtained from apical 4-, 3- and 2-chamber planes. Circumferential strain and ventricular rotation were obtained from LVtransverse planes. Twist: algebraic sum of apical and basal rotation (°), torsion [twist/LV base-apex distance (º/cm)] and thenew parameters: deformation product (global longitudinal strain × apical circumferential strain); deformation index: [twist/longitudinal strain (°/%)] and ejection fraction/global longitudinal strain ratio were calculated.Results: Patients with cardiac amyloidosis presented significantly lower ejection fraction (58.08%±6.16 vs. 67.15%±8.09;p=0.012) and global longitudinal strain values (–12.61%±4.32 vs. –17.15%±3.95; p=0.008) at the expense of basal segments.No significant differences were found for twist, torsion, and circumferential and radial strain. The product between longitudinalstrain and apical circumferential strain decreased, while the ejection fraction/global longitudinal strain ratio wassignificantly increased in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.Conclusions: The product of longitudinal strain × apical circumferential strain and the ejection fraction/global longitudinalstrain ratio are us, Introducción. La fracción de eyección (FEy) es un parámetro débil para evaluar la función ventricular en la hipertrofia ventricular. Es de fundamental importancia analizar aspectos de la mecánica ventricular que podrían diferenciarlas. Objetivo. Comparar el comportamiento del strain longitudinal y otros parámetros de la mecánica ventricular entre pacientes con miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH) y Amilo dosis Cardíaca (AC) ambos con FEY conservada. Metodología. Estudio comparativo, prospectivo realizado en 15 ptes con AC) (Grupo [G] 1) y 15 ptes con MCH [G] 2), ambos con FEy conservada (> 50%).Analizados con ecocardiografía speckle-tracking parámetros de strain y rotacionales del VI. El Strain Longitudinal (SL) se obtuvo a partir de planos apicales de 4, 3, y 2 cámaras. El Strain Circunferencial (SC) y la rotación ventricular a partir de planos transversales del VI. Se calculó el Giro: sumación de rotación apical y basal (º), Torsión (Giro /Distancia Base-Ápex del VI (°/cm)) y los nuevos parámetros: Producto de Deformación: (multiplicación entre el SLG y el SC apical); Índice de Deformación (°/%): (Giro/ SL), y (FEy/SL). Resultados. Los ptes con AC presentaron valores significativamente menores de FEy (58.08 % ± 6.16 vs 67.15 % ± 8.09; p=0.012) y de SL global (-12.61 % ± 4.32 vs -17.15 % ± 3.95; p=0.008) a expensas de los segmentos basales. Sin diferencias significativas con el Giro, la Torsión, el SC y el SR. El producto SL v SCa están disminuidos mientras que el cociente FEy/SLG se encuentra aumentado de manera significativa Conclusiones. El producto SL x SC apical y el cociente FEy/SLG son parámetros útiles que permiten diferenciar ptes con AC de ptes con MCH.

- Abstract
Background: The HEART score consists of a simple test designed to stratify patients who consult the emergency departmentfor chest pain, according to their risk of presenting an acute coronary syndrome in the short term. It was initially createdwith a fourth-generation troponin, but the advent of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T required its incorporation into thescore and the re-evaluation of its behavior.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the HEART score with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T.Methods: A prospective study was conducted including 1,464 patients who consulted at the emergency department due chestpain, with a non-ST-segment elevation electrocardiogram. The incidence of MACE (composite of acute myocardial infarction,death and revascularization) at 30 days was evaluated.Results: The index classified 739 patients (50.5%) as low risk, 515 (35.2%) as intermediate risk and 210 (14.3%) as high riskpatients. The composite of acute myocardial infarction, death and revascularization incidence was 1.35% in the first group,20%, in the second group and 71%, in the third group (log-rank test p<0.001). The area under the global curve for the compositeof acute myocardial infarction, death and revascularization was 0.91 (0.89-0.93).Conclusions: The HEART score using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T has a great capacity to classify patients with chestpain according to their risk of presenting cardiovascular events in the short term., Introducción: El score HEART consiste en una prueba sencilla que fue diseñada para estratificar a los pacientes que consultanal servicio de emergencias por dolor torácico, según su riesgo de presentar un síndrome coronario agudo a corto plazo.

- Abstract
Background: According to different guidelines, the echocardiographic evaluation of left atrial function based on dimensions, areas, volumes and diastolic function through pulsed-wave Doppler interrogation is fundamental, as left atrial dilatation has been shown to be a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. The advent of new echocardiographic techniques has allowed the assessment of atrial deformation (strain) with curves that identify the reservoir, conduit and contractile function. However, there is still no consensus to define left atrial strain by speckle tracking in normal patients and its response with exercise. Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the left atrial strain reference value at rest and during peak exercise stress echocardiography in healthy patients and to analyze the relationship between deformation and the E/e’ ratio to assess changes in atrial stiffness. Methods: This was a descriptive, prospective, observational study, including patients over 18 years of age, with no cardiovascular risk factors or previous history of comorbidities, who underwent an exercise stress echocardiography test between January and March 2017. A Vivid E 95 ultrasound system (GE Healthcare) was used, with 5MS MHz transducer and image acquisition frame rate between 60 and 70 frames per second at rest, and between 80 and 100 during exercise. Loops were obtained in 4-chamber and 2-chamber views, both at rest and at maximum exercise load, and were analyzed offline with EchoPac 201 software. Strain was measured tracing the borders of the left atrium at 1 mm from the mitral valve annulus, and manually adjusting the width of the region of interest to cover atrial wall thickness. The 6 segments were considered for each view and the average value of the curve corresponding to the reservoir was analyzed, as it was the most representative and reproducible. The average E/e’/left atrial strain × 100 ratio was used to calculate atrial stiffness. For the statistical, Introducción: El estudio ecocardiográfico de la función global auricular izquierda, según guías, se basa en la medición de dimensiones, áreas, volúmenes y la función diastólica mediante la interrogación con Doppler pulsado. Su importancia es trascendental, ya que su dilatación ha demostrado ser un predictor de eventos cardiovasculares adversos. Con el advenimiento de las nuevas técnicas ecocardiográficas es posible evaluar la mecánica de la deformación de la pared auricular (strain) con curvas que identifican la función de reservorio, conducto y contracción. Sin embargo, aún no hay consenso para definir el valor de strain auricular izquierdo, determinado mediante speckle tracking, en pacientes normales y su respuesta con el ejercicio. Objetivos: Establecer el valor de referencia de strain auricular izquierdo en pacientes sanos en reposo y durante el pico de un ecoestrés de esfuerzo. Además, analizar la relación de la deformación con la E/e´ para determinar los cambios de rigidez auricular. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo, observacional. Se incluyeron los pacientes mayores de 18 años, sanos, sin factores de riesgo cardiovascular, ni antecedentes patológicos a los que se realizó un ecoestrés con ejercicio entre enero y marzo 2017. Se utilizó un Vivid E 95 (GE Healthcare), con transductor 5MS MHz, con adquisición de las imágenes con un frame rate entre 60-70 en reposo y entre 80-90 en el esfuerzo. Los loops se obtuvieron en las vistas de 4 cámaras y 2 cámaras, tanto en reposo como a la máxima carga de ejercicio y se analizaron offline (EchoPac Version 201). Para la medición de strain, se trazaron los bordes de la AI, a 1 mm de distancia del anillo de la válvula mitral, y se ajustó de manera manual el ancho de la zona de interés en relación con el espesor de la pared auricular. Se consideraron los 6 segmentos por cada vista y se analizó el valor promedio de la curva correspondiente al reservorio por ser la más representativa y reproducible. Para el valor d

- Abstract
Background: The European Society of Cardiology’s 0/1-hour algorithm improves the early triage of patients towards “rule-out” or “rule-in” of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The HEART score is a risk stratification tool for patients with undifferentiated chest pain. We sought to evaluate the performance of the European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm and the HEART score to evaluate chest pain patients in the emergency department.Methods: In this prospective study, we applied the European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm and the HEART score in 1355 consecutive patients who presented to the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation. Patients were followed for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions and major adverse cardiac events at 30 days: death, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, or unplanned coronary revascularization.Results: The European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm classified 921 (68.0%) patients as “rule-out” and the HEART score classified 686 (50.6%) patients as “low-risk”. The 30-day incidence of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions was 0.32% in the European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm “rule-out” patients versus 0.29% in the HEART score “low-risk” patients (p=0.75). The rate of major adverse cardiac events was 7.7% in the European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm “rule-out” patients versus 1.1% in the HEART score “low-risk” patients (p<0.001).Conclusion: The European Society of Cardiology 0/1-hour algorithm identified more patients with low risk of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions at 30 days whereas for major adverse cardiac events, the HEART score had a greater capacity to detect low-risk patients.

Background: In patients with Ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery stenosis (INOCA) wall motion is rarely abnormal during stress echocardiography (SE). Our aim was to determine if patients with INOCA and reduced coronary flow velocity reserve (CVFR) have altered cardiac mechanics using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) during SE. Methods: In a prospective, multicenter, international study, we recruited 135 patients with INOCA. Overall, we performed high dose (0.84 mg/kg) dipyridamole SE with combined assessment of CVFR and 2DSTE. The population was divided in patients with normal CVFR (>2, group 1, n = 95) and abnormal CVFR (≤2, group 2, n = 35). Clinical and 2DSTE parameters were compared between groups. Results: Feasibility was high for CFVR (98%) and 2DSTE (97%). A total of 130 patients (mean age 63 ± 12 years, 67 women) had complete flow and strain data. The two groups showed similar 2DSTE values at rest. At peak SE, Group 1 patients showed lower global longitudinal strain (p < 0.007), higher mechanical dispersion (p < 0.0005), lower endocardial (p < 0.001), and epicardial (p < 0.0002) layer specific strain. Conclusions: In patients with INOCA, vasodilator SE with simultaneous assessment of CFVR and strain is highly feasible. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is accompanied by an impairment of global and layer-specific deformation indices during stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Two-dimensional volumetric exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) provides an integrated view of left ventricular (LV) preload reserve through end-diastolic volume (EDV) and LV contractile reserve (LVCR) through end-systolic volume (ESV) changes. Purpose: To assess the dependence of cardiac reserve upon LVCR, EDV, and heart rate (HR) during ESE. Methods: We prospectively performed semi-supine bicycle or treadmill ESE in 1344 patients (age 59.8 ± 11.4 years; ejection fraction = 63 ± 8%) referred for known or suspected coronary artery disease. All patients had negative ESE by wall motion criteria. EDV and ESV were measured by biplane Simpson rule with 2-dimensional echocardiography. Cardiac index reserve was identified by peak-rest value. LVCR was the stress-rest ratio of force (systolic blood pressure by cuff sphygmomanometer/ESV, abnormal values ≤2.0). Preload reserve was defined by an increase in EDV. Cardiac index was calculated as stroke volume index * HR (by EKG). HR reserve (stress/rest ratio) <1.85 identified chronotropic incompetence. Results: Of the 1344 patients, 448 were in the lowest tertile of cardiac index reserve with stress. Of them, 303 (67.6%) achieved HR reserve <1.85; 252 (56.3%) had an abnormal LVCR and 341 (76.1%) a reduction of preload reserve, with 446 patients (99.6%) showing ≥1 abnormality. At binary logistic regression analysis, reduced preload reserve (odds ratio [OR]: 5.610; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 4.025 to 7.821), chronotropic incompetence (OR: 3.923, 95% CI: 2.915 to 5.279), and abnormal LVCR (OR: 1.579; 95% CI: 1.105 to 2.259) were independently associated with lowest tertile of cardiac index reserve at peak stress. Conclusions: Heart rate assessment and volumetric echocardiography during ESE identify the heterogeneity of hemodynamic phenotypes of impaired chronotropic, preload or LVCR underlying a reduced cardiac reserve.

- Abstract
Background: Stroke volume response during stress is a major determinant of functional status in heart failure and can be measured by two-dimensional (2-D) volumetric stress echocardiography (SE). The present study hypothesis is that SE may identify mechanisms underlying the change in stroke volume by measuring preload reserve through end-diastolic volume (EDV) and left ventricular contractile reserve (LVCR) with systolic blood pressure and end-systolic volume (ESV)., Methods: We enrolled 4735 patients (age 63.6±11.3 years, 2800 male) referred to SE for known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or heart failure (HF) in 21 SE laboratories in 8 countries. In addition to regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA), force was measured at rest and peak stress as the ratio of systolic blood pressure by cuff sphygmomanometer/ESV by 2D with Simpson's or linear method. Abnormal values of LVCR (peak/rest) based on force were ≤1.10 for dipyridamole (N.=1992 patients) and adenosine (N.=18); ≤2.0 for exercise (N.=2087) or dobutamine (N.=638)., Results: Force-based LVCR was obtained in all 4735 patients. Lack of stroke volume increase during stress was due to either abnormal LVCR and/or blunted preload reserve, and 57% of patients with abnormal LVCR nevertheless showed increase in stroke volume., Conclusions: Volumetric SE is highly feasible with all stresses, and more frequently impaired in presence of ischemic RWMA, absence of viability and reduced coronary flow velocity reserve. It identifies an altered stroke volume response due to reduced preload and/or contractile reserve.
