- Abstract
Purpose: We developed a transthoracic echo simulator that can measure psychomotor skill in echo to assist in training as well as for certification of competence. The simulator displays cine loops on a computer in response to the user scanning a mannequin with a mock transducer. The skill metric is the deviation angle between the image acquired by the user and the anatomically correct plane for the specified view. We sought to determine whether the simulator-based test could distinguish levels of expertise. Methods: Attendees at an echo course or at the annual meeting of the Swedish Heart Association were invited to take a 15 min test on the simulator. On the test, the user scanned the mannequin and acquired 4 views: parasternal long axis (pLAX) in patient 1, apical 4 chamber (a4c) and aLAX in patient 2, and pLAX in patient 3. Scan time was limited to 15 min. Attendees were asked regarding current work status, position, and experience with echo assessed from duration in years and procedure volume in the past 12 months. Results: Of the 61 participants there were 22 sonographers, 2 nurses, and 37 doctors who were all in practice except 1 doctor who was a resident. The data of nurses was combined with that of sonographers because their procedure volume was nearer to that of sonographers (850 ± 599 tests/yr) than doctors (312 ± 393, p < 0.001). Doctors and non-doctors had similar duration of experience (9 ± 8 vs. 12 ± 11 yrs, p=NS). The test was not completed by 12 participants (18%) but unfamiliarity with the simulator may have contributed because the deviation angle for pLAX dropped between the first and third patients (23 ± 11 to 18 ± 10 degrees, p<0.020). The average deviation angle over the 4 views was slightly lower for sonographers than for doctors (26 ± 11 vs. 30 ± 14 degrees, p=NS). The deviation angle for pLAX (55 ± 37 degrees) was higher than for a4C (17 ± 22 degrees) or either pLAX view (p<0.00001). pLAX was the only view whose deviation angle correlated significantly with experience and only with procedure volume (r=-0.302, p=0.025). Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that the skill metric employed, angle of deviation between the plane of an acquired view and the plane of the anatomically correct image for that view, can distinguish the relative experience of sonographers and doctors in practice. Simulation-based testing provides objective and quantitative assessment of the psychomotor skill of image acquisition and may be of value in certification of trainees and in maintenance of certification examination of practicing sonographers and doctors.

- Abstract
Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with an increased mortality. Previous studies have analyzed predictors of TR progression and the clinical impact of baseline TR. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the natural history of TR: the pattern of change and clinical impact of progression., Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate predictors of TR progression and assess the prognostic impact of TR progression., Methods: A total of 1,843 patients with at least moderate TR were prospectively followed up with consecutive echocardiographic studies and/or clinical evaluation. All patients with less than a 2-year follow-up were excluded. Clinical and echocardiographic features, hospitalizations for heart failure, and cardiovascular death and interventions were recorded to assess their impact in TR progression., Results: At a median 2.3-year follow-up, 19% of patients experienced progression. Patients with baseline moderate TR presented a rate progression of 4.9%, 10.1%, and 24.8% 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years, respectively. Older age (HR: 1.03), lower body mass index (HR: 0.95), chronic kidney disease (HR: 1.55), worse NYHA functional class (HR: 1.52), and right ventricle dilation (HR: 1.33) were independently associated with TR progression. TR progression was associated with an increase in chamber dilation as well as a decrease in ventriculoarterial coupling and in left ventricle ejection fraction (P < 0.001). TR progression was associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations for heart failure (P < 0.001)., Conclusions: Marked individual variability in TR progression hindered accurate follow-up. In addition, TR progression was a determinant for survival regardless of initial TR severity., Competing Interests: Funding Support and Author Disclosures This study was supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, PI20/01206.

- Abstract
The optimal duration of anticoagulation in patients with left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is unknown. The data package herein presented contains the information used to assess the effect of duration of anticoagulation in the incidence of stroke in patients with left ventricular thrombus (LVT) in a tertiary hospital. In order to collect the required data, all transthoracic echocardiography studies at our institution from January 1st 2014 to December 31st 2021 with LVT were retrieved using dedicated software (Phillips Intellispace Cardiovascular; Koninklijke Phillips N.V., 2004-2020). Second, a dataset was designed ad hoc for this study in which the recruited data for the predefined objectives were obtained from electronic medical records. These data included clinical and demographic information including treatment choices (vitamin K antagonists [VKA] versus direct oral anticoagulants [DOAC]), duration of treatment, reason for interruption of treatment, occurrence of stroke, acute myocardial infarction, bleeding events, thrombus resolution, recurrence, and death. Retrieved data were stored in an excel sheet for analysis using the statistical package STATA (StataCorp v. 15.0, College station, TX).

- Abstract
The optimal duration of anticoagulation in patients with left-ventricular thrombus (LVT) is unclear. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the effect of treatment duration (≤12 months [short-term anticoagulation, (STA)] versus >12 months [long-term anticoagulation, (LTA)]) in the incidence of stroke and other secondary outcomes (acute myocardial infarction, bleeding, and mortality). Multivariate Cox regression was used to determine the association between treatment duration and stroke, adjusted for baseline embolic risk. A total of 98 cases of LVT (age 64.3 ± 12.8 years, female 18 [18%]) were identified. Sixty-one patients (62%) received LTA. Patients receiving LTA were older than those receiving STA (66.5 ± 11.6 vs 60.7 ± 13.9 years, p = 0.029), more often had atrial fibrillation (31% vs 0%, p <0.001), and had a higher CHA
2 DS2 -VASc score (4.3 ± 1.6 vs 3.6 ± 1.6, p = 0.046). Stroke occurred in 2 and 10 patients (3% vs 27%, p <0.001), acute myocardial infarction in 2 and 3 patients (3% vs 8%, p = 0.292), bleeding in 4 and 3 patients (7% vs 8%, p = 0.773), and mortality in 12 and 7 patients (20% vs 19%, p = 0.927) in the LTA and STA groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, after adjusting for embolic risk, LTA was associated with decreased risk of stroke at 5 years (adjusted hazard ratio 0.16; 95% confidence interval 0.03 to 0.72, p = 0.017). In conclusion, our data suggest that prolonged anticoagulation in patients with LVT may be associated with significantly lower risk of stroke., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Background: The management of patients with asymptomatic significant aortic regurgitation (sAR) is often challenging and appropriate timing of aortic valve surgery remains controversial. Prognostic value of diastolic parameters has been demonstrated in several cardiac diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic significance of the diastolic function evaluated by echocardiography, in asymptomatic patients with sAR., Methods: A total of 126 patients with asymptomatic sAR evaluated in the Heart Valve Clinic were retrospective included. Conventional echocardiographic systolic and diastolic function parameters were assessed. Left atrial (LA) auto-strain analysis was performed in a sub-group of 57 patients. A combined end-point of hospital admission due to heart failure, cardiovascular mortality, or aortic valve surgery was defined., Results: During a median follow-up of 34.1 (interquartile range 16.5-48.1) months, 25 (19.8%) patients reached the combined end-point. Univariate analysis showed that LV volumes, LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV-GLS, E wave, E/e' ratio, LA volume and LA reservoir strain (LASr) were significant predictors of events. Multivariate analysis that tested all classical echocardiographic variables statistically significant in the univariate model showed that LVEDV (HR = 1.02; 95% CI 1.01-1.03; p < 0.001) and E/e' ratio (HR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.03-123; p = 0.01) were significant predictors of events. Kaplan-Meier curve, stratified by median value of LASr, showed that lower LASr values (less than median of 34%) were associated with higher rates of events (p = 0.013)., Conclusion: In this population of asymptomatic patients with sAR and normal LV systolic function, baseline diastolic parameters were prognostic markers of cardiovascular events; among them, LASr played a significant predictor role., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with a myriad of autoimmune adverse events. We present a 70-year-old patient with renal-cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab/ipilimumab complicated with myocarditis and encephalitis in which gradual impairment of the His-Purkinje system progressed to complete atrioventricular block. Full recovery was achieved after treatment with corticosteroids and immunoglobulins.

- Abstract
Mitral stenosis is an important cause of heart valve disease globally. Echocardiography is the main imaging modality used to diagnose and assess the severity and hemodynamic consequences of mitral stenosis as well as valve morphology. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is sufficient for the management of most patients. The focus of this review is the role of current two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic imaging for the evaluation of mitral stenosis.

- Abstract
Background: Despite being associated with worse prognosis in patients with COVID-19, systematic determination of myocardial injury is not recommended. The aim of the study was to study the effect of myocardial injury assessment on risk stratification of COVID-19 patients., Methods: Seven hundred seven consecutive adult patients admitted to a large tertiary hospital with confirmed COVID-19 were included. Demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory results and clinical outcomes were recorded. Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was calculated in order to quantify the degree of comorbidities. Independent association of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) increase with outcomes was evaluated by multivariate regression analyses and area under curve. In addition, propensity-score matching was performed to assemble a cohort of patients with similar baseline characteristics., Results: In the matched cohort (mean age 66.76 ± 15.7 years, 37.3% females), cTnI increase above the upper limit was present in 20.9% of the population and was associated with worse clinical outcomes, including all-cause mortality within 30 days (45.1% vs. 23.2%; p = 0.005). The addition of cTnI to a multivariate prediction model showed a significant improvement in the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (0.775 vs. 0.756, DC-statistic = 0.019; 95% confidence interval 0.001-0.037). Use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors was not associated with mortality after adjusting by baseline risk factors., Conclusions: Myocardial injury is independently associated with adverse outcomes irrespective of baseline comorbidities and its addition to multivariate regression models significantly improves their performance in predicting mortality. The determination of myocardial injury biomarkers on hospital admission and its combination with CCI can classify patients in three risk groups (high, intermediate and low) with a clearly distinct 30-day mortality.

- Abstract
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a new threat to healthcare systems. In this setting, heart failure units have faced an enormous challenge: taking care of their patients while at the same time avoiding patients' visits to the hospital., Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of a follow-up protocol established in an advanced heart failure unit at a single center in Spain during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic., Methods: During March and April 2020, a protocolized approach was implemented in our unit to reduce the number of outpatient visits and hospital admissions throughout the maximum COVID-19 spread period. We compared emergency room (ER) visits, hospital admissions, and mortality with those of January and February 2020., Results: When compared to the preceding months, during the COVID pandemic there was a 56.5% reduction in the ER visits and a 46.9% reduction in hospital admissions, without an increase in mortality (9 patients died in both time periods). A total of 18 patients required a visit to the outpatient clinic for decompensation of heart failure or others., Conclusion: Our study suggests that implementing an active-surveillance protocol in acutely decompensated heart failure units during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can reduce hospital admissions, ER visits and, potentially, viral transmission, in a cohort of especially vulnerable patients., (© 2020 S.

- Abstract
Aims: To determine the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) in a large cohort of consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated echocardiography and to examine the distribution of primary and secondary MR., Methods and Results: All patients undergoing an echocardiographic study in 19 European centres within a 3-month period were prospectively included. MR assessment was performed as recommended by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). MR was classified according to mechanism as primary or secondary and aetiologies were reported. A total of 63 463 consecutive echocardiographic studies were reviewed. Any degree of MR was described in 15 501 patients. Concomitant valve disease of at least moderate grade was present in 28.5% of patients, being tricuspid regurgitation the most prevalent. In the subgroup of moderate and severe MR (n = 3309), 55% of patients had primary MR and 30% secondary MR. Both mechanisms were described in 14% of the studies. According to Carpentier's classification, 26.7% of MR were classified as I, 19.9% of MR as II, 22.4% of MR as IIIa, and 31.1% of MR as IIIb., Conclusion: To date, this is the largest echocardiography-based study to analyse the prevalence and aetiology distribution of MR in Europe. The burden of secondary MR was higher than previously described, representing 30% of patients with significant MR. In our environment, degenerative disease is the most common aetiology of primary MR (60%), whereas ischaemic is the most common aetiology of secondary MR (51%). Up to 70% of patients with severe primary MR may have a Class I indication for surgery. However, the optimal therapeutic approach for secondary MR remains uncertain.

- Abstract
Aims: To evaluate how often patients with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) meet the anatomical criteria for MitraClip implant and to examine the role of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for this task., Methods and Results: From February to June 2015, all patients undergoing a TTE in nine Spanish hospitals were prospectively included. Patients with moderate-to-severe and severe mitral regurgitation were selected for analysis. Anatomical eligibility criteria for MitraClip were defined according to the EVEREST trial. A total of 39 855 consecutive TTE were reviewed, and 1403 patients with moderate-to-severe and severe MR were finally included. Primary MR was found in 779 patients (56%). Only in 74 patients (16%), all anatomical criteria for MitraClip could be assessed by TTE. Of these, 56% of patients had optimal valve morphology. Secondary MR was described in 361 patients (26%), and at least 249 of these (69%) had a high surgical risk. All five criteria for MitraClip were adequately assessed by TTE in 299 patients (83%). Of them, 118 patients (39%) had optimal valve morphology., Conclusions: A considerable proportion of patients have optimal mitral valve morphology for MitraClip. Moreover, TTE was particularly useful in determining whether or not the anatomical criteria for MitraClip implant were met in the majority of patients with secondary MR but in only a minority of those with primary MR., (© 2017, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Objective: Bleeding in ACS patients is an independent marker of adverse outcomes. Its prognostic impact is even worse in elderly population. Current bleeding risk scores include chronological age but do not consider biologic vulnerability. No studies have assessed the effect of frailty on major bleeding. The aim of this study is to determine whether frailty status increases bleeding risk in patients with ACS., Methods: This prospective and observational study included patients aged ≥75years admitted due to type 1 myocardial infarction. Exclusion criteria were severe cognitive impairment, impossibility to measure handgrip strength, cardiogenic shock and limited life expectancy due to oncologic diseases. The primary endpoint was 30-day major bleeding defined as a decrease of ≥3g/dl of haemoglobin or need of transfusion., Results: A total of 190 patients were included. Frail patients (72, 37.9%) were older, with higher comorbidity features and with a higher CRUSADE score at admission. On univariate analysis, frailty predicted major bleeding during 30-day follow-up despite less frequent use of a P2Y12 inhibitor (66.2% vs 83.6%, p=0.007) and decreased catheterisation rate (69.4% vs 94.1%, p<0.001). Major bleeding was associated with increased all-cause mortality at day 30 (18.2% vs 2.5%, p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, frailty was an independent predictor for major bleeding., Conclusion: Frailty phenotype, as a marker of biological vulnerability, is an independent predictor of major bleeding in elderly patients with ACS. Frailty can play an important role in bleeding risk stratification and objective indices should be integrated into routine initial evaluation of these patients., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
