Determining pulmonary artery diameter on CT scans as basis for performing transthoracic echocardiography to screen for pulmonary hypertension in patients with pulmonary artery enlargement.
J Echocardiogr
December 2024
Department of Radiology, The Jikei University School of Medicine, 3-25-8 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-Ku, Tokyo, 105-8461, Japan.
Background: The current guidelines recommend patient stratification based on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to identify individuals with potential pulmonary hypertension (PH). We validated the relationship between PH and the pulmonary artery diameter (PAD) on computed tomography (CT) with peak tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) measured by TTE for referral of patients with suspected PH for TTE screening.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of CT-based PAD of 2356 patients who underwent TTE from February 2, 2013 to December 25, 2019 at our institution.
Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
ESC Heart Fail
December 2024
Department of Medical and Surgical Specialties, Radiological Science and Public Health, Institute of Cardiology, ASST Spedali Civili, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy.
Aims: Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Methods And Results: This retrospective single-centre study included outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤ 50%) evaluated between January 2022 and December 2022. TAPSE/PASP was evaluated as a continuous variable and as tertiles according to its value on the first visit.
Multiparametric Assessment of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Heart Failure: An Analysis From PARAGON-HF.
J Am Heart Assoc
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital Harvard Medical School Boston MA USA.
Background: This study aims to characterize right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction and understand the cumulative prognostic value of abnormal RV echocardiographic parameters in HF with preserved ejection fraction.
Methods And Results: Data from 809 patients in the PARAGON-HF (Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor With Angiotensin-Receptor Blocker Global Outcomes in HF With Preserved Ejection Fraction) echocardiographic substudy (55% women, mean age 74±8 years) were analyzed. Correlates of RVD (defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion <1.
Incidence and risk factors of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in elderly patients with hypertension.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
December 2024
Department of cardiovascular medicine, Chengdu Seventh People's Hospital, No.1188 Shuangxing Avenue, Chengdu city, 610200, Sichuan Province, China.
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses a significant clinical challenge, especially in older patients with HT. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing HFpEF occurrence in elderly patients with HT.
Methods: Elderly patients with HT were categorized into two groups: no HFpEF group and HFpEF group based on HFpEF diagnosis.
Sex-specific differences in echocardiographic parameters of risk stratification in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
J Am Soc Echocardiogr
December 2024
Centre for Pulmonary Hypertension, Thoraxklinik Heidelberg gGmbH at Heidelberg University Hospital, Translational Lung Research Center Heidelberg (TLRC), German Center for Lung Research (DZL), Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: In healthy subjects, sex-differences in right heart function have already been detected for various echocardiographic parameters.
Research Question: The objective of the study was to investigate sex-differences in echocardiographic ESC/ERS risk stratification parameters and their impact on survival estimation in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Study Design And Methods: In this retrospective, cross-sectional study with a mean follow-up time of 3.
