Introduction And Objectives: Limited data exist on the prognostic usefulness of transthoracic echocardiography preceding MitraClip for chronic primary mitral regurgitation (MR). We evaluated the predictive ability of transthoracic echocardiography in this setting.
Methods: A total of 410 patients (median age, 83 years, 60.

Article Synopsis
- Electrocardiogram-gated cardiac CT imaging helps surgeons obtain precise details of a patient's heart anatomy, which is particularly beneficial for planning procedures like transaortic septal myectomy (TASM) in patients with subaortic septal hypertrophy and severe aortic stenosis.
- In a case involving two elderly patients, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) combined with TASM was performed following careful preoperative planning using cardiac CT, which provided essential measurements for the myectomy.
- The post-surgery outcomes for both patients were positive, showing no serious complications, indicating that cardiac CT planning is a safe and effective approach for managing heart conditions related to subaortic septal hypertrophy.
Significance of mitral L-waves in predicting late recurrences of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

January 2023
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Toho University Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The mitral L-wave, a prominent mid-diastolic filling wave in echocardiographic examinations, is associated with severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The relationship between the mitral L-wave and outcome of catheter ablation (CA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been established. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of mitral L-waves on AF recurrence after CA.

Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has recently been recognized as an arrhythmogenic entity. Data on the electrophysiological substrate as well as the outcomes of catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with MAD is limited.
Methods: Forty patients with MAD (mean age 47±15 years; 70% female) underwent catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias.
