A real honor to be invited to the Heart Center Berlin for a high-level scientific conference in one of the largest heart centers in the world.
Fantastic experience ✨
Thanks for invitation @NMerke and congratulations for the big success of your event! 🔝

Excellent updated review on MAD and how to use #cvimaging to identify pts at risk in #JACCImaging.
jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
Few key messages for the imagers:
🔻 MAD is infrequently observed in the LV posterior wall and often missed when the diagnosis relies on 2D PLAX -> #3Decho is superior than 2D to detect MAD
🔻 Echo resolution may not allow distinguishing pseudo MAD (posterior MV leaflet abutting the LA wall during systole) from true MAD (superior displacement of posterior leaflet in the LA) -> #WhyCMR may help
🔻 #YesCCT with systolic scans can detect millimetric MAD (3 mm) in 96% of normals that is "invisible" to echo and CMR -> longer MAD length (8-10 mm) may be relevant in MVP as risk marker
🔻 high FR imaging is essential for measuring MAD length, using dynamic frame-by-frame analysis of the mitral annulus throughout the cardiac cycle -> use narrow sector/volume to 🔼 FR
🔻 "double-peak" strain of inf-lat basal segment due to PSS -> risk marker for VAs
🔻 🔼 mechanical dispersion and posterobasal LV wall thickening associated with MAD -> additional risk markers to report
Congratulations @KristinaHaugaa @EssayaghBen @Cristinabasso64 @ThorEdvardsen @NAjmoneMarsan

Second T-TEER randomized trial: Tri-FR! Presented at #ESC2024 #ESCCongress2024 by @DonalErwan showing similar TRILUMINATE results: primary 1Yr endpoint driven by QoL but numerically lower mortality and HFH. Longer FU needed. @ESCardioNews @escardio

Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve is a rare but important congenital heart disease characterized by failure of delamination of the tricuspid valve and a right ventricular myopathy.

🤔Referred for a strange structure in right atrium.
💡Take a look this 2D/3D TOE focused on RAA anatomy
👉 This "band-like structure" is called TAENIA SAGITTALIS, the most prominent pectinate muscle originates from crista terminalis extending upwards and anteriorly #echofirst
