Inter-center reproducibility of standard and advanced echocardiographic parameters in the EACVI-AFib echo registry.
Echocardiography
August 2023
Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, Federico II University Hospital, Naples, Italy.
Aim: we sought to test the inter-center reproducibility of 16 echo laboratories involved in the EACVI-Afib Echo Europe.
Methods: This was done on a dedicated setting of 10 patients with sinus rhythm (SR) and 10 with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), collected by the Principal Investigator. Images and loops of echo-exams were stored and made available for labs.

Heart failure (HF) is among the most important and frequent complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The detection of subclinical dysfunction is a marker of HF risk and presents a potential target for reducing incident HF in DM. Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction secondary to DM is heterogeneous, with phenotypes including predominantly systolic, predominantly diastolic, and mixed dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- * HFpEF has a prognosis similar to HFrEF, but effective therapies for HFpEF are limited compared to those available for HFrEF.
- * The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) has released guidelines for diagnosing elevated left ventricular filling pressure and using multimodality imaging to identify specific causes of HFpEF.
The use of cardiac imaging in the evaluation of athletes in the clinical practice: A survey by the Sports Cardiology and Exercise Section of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology and University of Siena, in collaboration with the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, the European Heart Rhythm Association and the ESC Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The survey aimed to assess the use of echocardiography in pre-participation evaluations (PPE) for athletes and understand doctor beliefs and barriers affecting their practices.
- Among 603 healthcare professionals from 97 countries, 65% reported using echocardiography regularly, primarily starting during adolescence, regardless of the athlete’s competitive level.
- While many see echocardiography as a standard first-line screening tool, there is a lack of scientific evidence to support its widespread use, indicating the need for larger studies.
Echocardiographic Longitudinal Strain Analysis in Heart Failure: Real Usefulness for Clinical Management Beyond Diagnostic Value and Prognostic Correlations? A Comprehensive Review.

Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent clinical syndrome characterized by considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. The traditional classification based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is widely accepted by the guidelines and represents the grounds for patient enrollment in clinical trials, even though it shows several limitations. Ejection fraction (EF) is affected by preload, afterload, and contractility, it being problematic to express LV function in several conditions, such as HF with preserved EF (HFpEF), valvular heart disease, and subclinical HF, and in athletes.
