Please subscribe my YouTube channel: bit.ly/2DWogkJ I would like to present my project (echocardiography step by step®). With my project, I want to take you into the world of echocardiography through the prism of my experience.

🗺️ Cardiac imaging in patients with tropical diseases: a scientific statement @ESC_Journals #Cardiology #CardioEd #echofirst #FOAMed

Color Doppler jets in at least moderate valve regurgitation consist of 3 distinct components: #echofirst 1. Flow convergence (PISA) - forms in the driving chamber 2. Jet expansion/jet area - appears in the receiving chamber 3. Vena contracta (narrowest neck) - in between

Pulmonary vein Doppler tracks LA–LV hemodynamics beat-to-beat: •S wave → LA relaxation + annular descent (systolic suction) •D wave → LV filling (mirrors mitral E) •Ar wave → atrial contraction (retrograde) Blunted S, dominant D, ↑Ar? → elevated LA pressure & reduced compliance. Simple waveform. High-yield physiology. 🫀

#EHJCVI ⏱️ Can left atrial transit time (LATT) predict adverse outcomes? LATT closely correlates with LVEDP and helps estimate it; pLVEDP >13 and >18 are independent risk thresholds, with HR 2.10 and 4.33, respectively 📊⚠️ Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…

#EHJIMP 🫀Now published: EACVI Clinical Consensus Statement on patient-centric PET/CT myocardial perfusion imaging — covering tracers, protocols, interpretation, and common artefacts. 👉 Defining best practice for advanced nuclear cardiac imaging.

#EHJCVI 📏 Should we use sex-specific thresholds for LV hypertrophy in Fabry disease? LVMWT >10 mm in women and >13 mm in men are independently associated with mortality, hospitalization, AF, major arrhythmias, and stroke ⚖️📊 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…

#EHJCVI 📐🔎 Should we assess RV hemisphericity and hemiconicity angle? These 3D shape-based metrics vary by pathology, sex, and age, and carry strong prognostic implications in atrial secondary TR, adding a new layer to RV evaluation 🧭✨Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…

#EHJIMP 🫀New from the MuSCAT registry: In adults with potentially malignant #AAOCA, invasive functional testing (FFR/iFR/RFR + IVUS under stress) showed a 28% discordance with non-invasive testing and changed clinical management in 1 in 5 patients. 👉 Highlighting the value of comprehensive invasive assessment.

A elderly patient with persistent atrial fibrillation presenting with dyspnea. Mitral inflow interrogation is shown. What are the findings suggestive of increased left ventricular filling pressures?

#EHJCVI 🫀 Can LA parameters help risk-stratify embolic stroke of undetermined source? Patients show larger LA volumes, reduced reservoir and contractile strain, and increased LA circularity, features suggesting atrial cardiomyopathy may play a role 🔍 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjci/…

What is the terrifying diagnosis?

The most stenotic bioprosthetic mitral valve I have encountered. Mean transmitral gradient 31 mmHg at HR 74 bpm, EOA of just 0.2 cm². The pt was transferred from OSH in pre-shock. Successful TMViV, no valvular or PVL, mean gradient 3 mm Hg.

Impressive echo 👏 What’s happening to this heart?

#EHJIMP 🫀This study compared patients who underwent suture-mediated PFO closure with patients who underwent occluder implantation, these latter had significantly worse indices of LA and RA reservoir function, conduit function and contraction function. Deterioration in atrial function is associated with the development of atrial arrhythmias (with an incidence ranging from 1.7% up to the 37% in patients using LR) so that atrial strain values can predict the future risk of atrial fibrillation onset.

Sometimes Dobutamine stress echo is not needed in low-flow low-gradient AS

🚨Nucleus & stellvertretender Sprecher*in der @Echo_DGK_GER #echofirst können ab Montag, 16.03.2026 gewählt werden Wir können gemeinsam den Grundstein für die Zukunft der kardiovaskulären Ultraschallbildgebung legen – zusammen mit @eromerodorta und ihrem neuen Team. 👉 Neue Ausbildungskonzepte entwickeln und etablieren 👉 Junge Kolleg*innen aktiv in die Kongresslandschaft einbinden 👉 Internationales Networking für den Nachwuchs aus Klinik und ambulanter Versorgung weiter stärken Eine große Chance, die nächste Generation der Echokardiographie und kardiovaskulären Bildgebung nachhaltig zu fördern. Wählen wir die neuen Gesichter der AG5 der DGK

#EHJIMP 🫀 The aim of this study was to identify the role of AF in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy. LA function analysis may identify patients at higher risk of major cardiovascular events. Actually higher LAFI correlates with worse LV-GLS, higher systolic PA pressures, worse RV function and more impaired RV-PA coupling. Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjimp…

How should LV filling pressures be estimated in patients with MAC? #ASEchoJC

#EHJIMP 🫀 The aim of this study was to identify the CMR characteristics in patients with LBBB and HFrEF to determine whether these individuals exhibit distinct features that may predict LVEF recovery, as compared with patients without LBBB. Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjimp…
