Prognostic value of right ventricular free-wall longitudinal strain in patients with pulmonary hypertension: systematic review and meta-analyses

Open Heart

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Methods We searched for articles presenting the HR of two-dimensional RVfwLS in PH. Results Twenty articles totalling 2790 subjects were included. HRs were standardised using the within-study SD.

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with atrial versus ventricular secondary tricuspid regurgitation undergoing tricuspid transcatheter edge?to?edge repair – Results from the TriValve registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Abstract Aim Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) is the most common phenotype of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with atrial STR (ASTR) and ventricular STR (VSTR) being recently identified as two distinct entities. ASTR vs. VSTR) are lacking. Patients not matching these criteria were classified as VSTR.

Collection of a few ECGs in congenital heart diseases

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Crochetage sign on ECG in ASD ECG in ASD with severe pulmonary hypertension: Tall R’ in V1, ST depression in inferior leads and V2-V5, and T inversion in inferior leads and V1-V6 are seen. In fact the Circulation article cited is on Complete Transposition of the Great Vessels.

Biatrial Myopathy in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with HFpEF and biatrial myopathy had more atrial fibrillation, poorer left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, more severe pulmonary vascular disease, tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular interdependence and right ventricular dysfunction, and poorer cardiac output reserve with exercise.

Quantitative fluid overload in severe aortic stenosis refines cardiac damage and associates with worse outcomes

European Journal of Heart Failure

Right-sided cardiac damage (rCD) was defined as pulmonary vasculature/tricuspid/right ventricular damage. The extent of cardiac damage was assessed by echocardiography according to an established staging classification. Hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and/or death served as primary endpoint.

Sulforaphane improves redox homeostasis and right ventricular contractility in a model of pulmonary hypertension

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance, imposing overload on the right ventricle (RV) and imbalance of redox state. PAH induction was implemented by a single dose of MCT (60 mg/kg i.p.). Treatment with SFN (2.5 mg/kg/day i.p.)
