Background: Transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) has been reported to be associated with right ventricular reverse remodeling (RVRR). Data on the temporal evolution of this phenomenon are scarce.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate RVRR over the course of 2-year follow-up after T-TEER using sequential 3-dimensional echocardiograms (3DE).

Background: Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead placement traditionally uses fluoroscopy, often with inaccurate lead placement on the free wall rather than on the ventricular septum, with associated longer QRS duration and pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy while exposing staff and patients to radiation.
Objective: We sought to determine whether transesophageal 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) guidance improves lead placement accuracy in the ventricular septum, results in shorter paced QRS durations, and reduces fluoroscopy exposure.
Methods: In a single-center case-control study, 3DE guided right ventricular or atrial pacemaker and ICD leads to the desired location, with fluoroscopy used per operator preference.

Background: The prognostic value of 3-dimensional (3D)-left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) in recipients of heart transplant (HT) reremains unknown. This study aimed to determine whether 3D-LVGLS was the more powerful predictor of poor outcomes in recipients of HT compared with 2-dimensional (2D)-LVGLS.
Methods And Results: All consecutive adult patients who received HT and underwent at least 1 comprehensive 2D and 3D transthoracic echocardiographic examination for clinical surveillance were retrospectively enrolled.
