Purpose Of Review: This review aims to provide an updated overview of the role of echocardiography in the assessment of cardiomyopathies, highlighting recent findings and technological advancements.
Recent Findings: Over the past few years, significant advancements in echocardiographic techniques have improved diagnostic accuracy and provided important prognostic value in the assessment of cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases affecting the heart muscle.
Introduction We aimed to assess whether partial hepatectomy has an influence on conventional and speckle tracking parameters on echocardiography in living liver donors in the early postoperative period. Methods This study was a retrospective study to investigate the cardiac effects of liver donation after the transplant operation in a high-volume liver transplant center. Ninety living liver donors were included in the study.

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: Human activities, such as urbanization and climate change, have facilitated the spread of arbovirus-carrying vectors, disproportionately affecting vulnerable traditional Indigenous communities.
Objective: To explore the relationships between subclinical myocardial dysfunction, assessed by global longitudinal strain (GLS), and comprehensive arbovirus serology in an Indigenous population, while also describing the serological and epidemiological profile of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses.
Methods: This ancillary study is part of the first phase (2016-2017) of the Project of Atherosclerosis among Indigenous Populations (PAI), a cross-sectional study involving participants from two Indigenous communities with different degrees of urbanization and a highly urbanized city in Northeast Brazil.

To evaluate myocardial synchronized exercise and clinical prognosis in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), we utilized two-dimensional speckle tracking (2D-STI) stratified strain imaging. We retrospectively summarized 146 patients diagnosed with HFpEF in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. 2D-STI combined with stratified strain imaging was used to measure the overall left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), the sub-endocardium, mid-myocardium, sub-epicardium LS of the left ventricle, as well as the basal, intermediate, and apical LS, the peak strain dispersion (PSD) and the transmural pressure difference, the postsystolic shortening (PSS), and early systolic lengthening.
