Background: The three-dimensional (3D) dynamic change of mitral geometry during preload manipulation has not been fully investigated. We investigated how preload manipulation affected the mitral apparatus geometry in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients using 3D echocardiography.
Methods And Results: Twenty five HCM patients, thirteen with obstructive HCM (HOCM) and twelve with nonobstructive HCM (HNCM), and six healthy controls were studied. Subjects underwent 3D echocardiography during rest, leg raising, the Valsalva maneuver, and the Valsalva maneuver after nitroglycerin intake (NTG-Valsalva). Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pressure gradients, mitral annular area, annular circumference, and the tenting volume of the mitral leaflets were measured. Standardized annular area significantly decreased during the NTG-Valsalva maneuver in all 3 groups (▵2.23 mm(2) /m(2) in control, P = 0.031; ▵0.46 mm(2) /m(2) in HNCM, P = 0.012; ▵1.3 mm(2) /m(2) in HOCM, P = 0.013). Standardized annular area decrease during the Valsalva maneuver alone was more prominent in HNCM patients (▵0.57 mm(2) /m(2) , P = 0.009) than HOCM patients (▵0.3 mm(2) /m(2) , P = 0.094). Standardized mitral tenting volume during the NTG-Valsalva maneuver significantly decreased only in HOCM patients (▵1.18 mm(3) /m(2) , P = 0.046).
Conclusion: Decreased mitral annular area and changes in leaflets tenting volume during preload reduction might affect the development of LVOT obstruction. Our data suggest the importance of preserving the saddle-shaped of the mitral annulus in management of HCM with LVOT obstruction.

Objective: Impaired right ventricular (RV)-pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling, calculated by measuring the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), can be used as an early indicator of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Patients suffering from HFrEF experience improvements in left ventricular (LV) function through the administration of sacubitril/valsartan therapy. In addition, the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score was associated with the fluid overload status and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure.

Aims: This study explores the clinical application of lung ultrasound scoring(LUS) combined with echocardiography in assessing right heart function in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) and those with elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP), as well as the correlation between LUS and right ventricular(RV) function.
Methods: Eighty five patients who underwent MHD combined with elevated PASP, at the First Central Hospital of Baoding City were selected. Divided into three groups based on PASP, and perform echocardiography and lung ultrasound examinations.

Background: The long-term valve durability of supra-annular self-expanding valves (SEV) and intra-annular balloon-expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annuli remains unexplored.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the long-term bioprosthetic valve durability with SEV versus BEV in patients with small aortic annuli.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and an aortic annulus area of 430 mm or less who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement using SEV and BEV between October 2009 and December 2022.

Aims: There are few data on the prognostic impact of pulmonary-right ventricular (RV) uncoupling in patients with wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM).
Methods And Results: Among the 174 patients who were diagnosed with ATTRwt-CM at Kumamoto University Hospital from 2002 to 2021, 143 patients who met the current Japanese guideline and had sufficient information for two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography were retrospectively analysed. During a median follow-up of 1209 days, 39 cardiac deaths occurred.

Objective: To identify the risk factors associated with moderate to severe perivalvular leakage (PVL) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to construct a prediction model for this risk.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 128 patients with severe aortic stenosis who had received TAVR in The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to January 2024. The length of the aortic regurgitation bundle and annular circumference ratio were measured by transesophageal echocardiography immediately after the valve implantation.
