Background: Heart injuries following polytrauma (PT) are identified as a predictor of poor outcome. The diagnostic algorithm of cardiac damage after trauma consists of the systemic measurement of cardiac damage markers, a 3-channel ECG and if there are any suspicious findings, the conduction of a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The aim of this study was to implement a systematic analysis of cardiac function using TTE in PT-patients.

Background Obesity is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, which is a combination of metabolic abnormalities leading to development of cardiovascular abnormalities. Based on factors such as body mass index and metabolic syndrome, specific phenotypes for obesity have been established. These include metabolically healthy obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO), metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO), and metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO).

Background: In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ventricular dysfunction can occur from primary immune injury or secondarily from SLE-related co-morbidities. The aim of this study was to determine clinical predictors of reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in an effort to understand potentially mitigating strategies.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 76 patients with SLE who had comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography within 3 months of an appointment with a rheumatologist to correlate clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic features.

Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a progressive disease in which amyloid fibrils infiltrate the heart muscle. This study aimed to identify features from cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiography (ECG), and echocardiography that may distinguish between transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) scintigraphy-positive and negative patients.
Material And Methods: Seventy-eight consecutive patients, median age 69 years (range 34-81), with suspected CA, negative serum free light chains, and negative serum and urine protein electrophoresis with immunofixation, referred to cardiac scintigraphy between 2021 and 2024, were retrospectively enrolled.

Background: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an important cardiovascular imaging modality, offering detailed images surpassing other techniques, including transthoracic echocardiography. TEE's efficacy relies on skilled physicians operating the probe. Adequate TEE training is often overlooked, leading to potential patient discomfort or harm during TEE examinations.
