The American journal of cardiology, Volume 182, 6 1 2022, Pages 69-76 Impact of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain on Outcomes After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair in Secondary Mitral Regurgitation. Yoon SH, Makar M, Kar S, Koseki K, Oakley L, Sekhon N, Patel D, Chakravarty T, Nakamura M, Hamilton M, Patel JK, Singh S, Sabah S, Siegel RJ, Bax JJ, Makkar RR
Assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is essential in patient selection for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Although LV ejection fraction (EF) is mostly used for assessing LV function, it represents the change of LV chamber size, but not myocardial contractility. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) provides an alternative to assess LV systolic function in patients with secondary MR. This study included 380 patients with secondary M... Abstract

Stassen J, Galloo X, Hirasawa K, Marsan NA, van der Bijl P, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with worse outcome. This study investigated the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on TR severity and long-term outcome. Methods and results: Tricuspid regurgitation severity was assessed at baseline and 6 months after CRT implantation, using a multiparametric approach. Patients were divided into four groups: (i) no or mild TR without progression; (ii) no or mild TR with progression... Abstract

Aims: Left atrial (LA) volume and LA epicardial fat are both substrates for atrial fibrillation (AF), but may relate with AF at different (early vs. late) stages in the AF disease process. We evaluated associations between LA epicardial fat and LA volume in patients with sinus rhythm (SR), paroxysmal AF (PAF), and persistent/permanent AF. Methods and results: In total, 300 patients (100 with SR, 100 with PAF, and 100 with persistent/permanent AF) who underwent cardiac computed tomography angiogr... Abstract

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 23, Issue 10, 1 1 2022, Pages 1326-1335 Left ventricular remodelling patterns in patients with moderate aortic stenosis. Stassen J, Ewe SH, Hirasawa K, Butcher SC, Singh GK, Amanullah MR, Sin KYK, Ding ZP, Pio SM, Chew NWS, Sia CH, Kong WKF, Poh KK, Cohen DJ, Généreux P, Leon MB, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Aims: Moderate aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with an increased risk of adverse events. Because outcomes in patients with AS are ultimately driven by the condition of the left ventricle (LV) and not by the valve, assessment of LV remodelling seems important for risk stratification. This study evaluated the association between different LV remodelling patterns and outcomes in patients with moderate AS. Methods and results: Patients with moderate AS (aortic valve area 1.0-1.5 cm2) were identif... Abstract

Aims: The temporal instability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque preceding an incident acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is not well defined. We sought to examine differences in the volume and composition of coronary atherosclerosis between patients experiencing an early (≤90 days) versus late ACS (>90 days) after baseline coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Methods and results: From a multicenter study, we enrolled patients who underwent a clinically indicated baseline CCTA and exp... Abstract

Several studies have shown an association between aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate the gender differences in aortic valve calcium (AVC) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) and the association between CAC and all-cause mortality in patients with severe AS. A total of 260 patients (80 ± 7 years, 39% men) with severe AS who were scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were included. AVC and CAC before TAVI were assessed by noncontras... Abstract

Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation, derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is associated with coronary artery inflammation. Values for PCAT attenuation in men and women without atherosclerosis on CCTA are lacking. The aim of the current study was to assess the mean PCAT attenuation in individuals without coronary artery atherosclerosis on CCTA. Data on PCAT attenuation in men and women without coronary artery atherosclerosis on CCTA were included in this retros... Abstract
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography, Volume 36, Issue 2, 14 2 2022, Pages 163-171 Effects of Atrial Ischemia on Left Atrial Remodeling in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Montero-Cabezas JM, Abou R, Chimed S, Fortuni F, Goedemans L, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Background: Adverse left atrial (LA) remodeling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been associated with poor prognosis. Flow impairment in the dominant coronary atrial branch (CAB) may affect large areas of LA myocardium, potentially leading to adverse LA remodeling during follow-up. The aim of this study was to assess echocardiographic LA remodeling in patients with STEMI with impaired coronary flow in the dominant CAB. Methods: Of 897 patients with STEMI, 69 patients...

Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD) and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) may be caused by structural or nonstructural valve dysfunction. Both surgical and transcatheter bioprosthetic valves have limited durability because of structural valve deterioration. The main objective of this summary of experts participating in a virtual workshop was to propose standardized definitions for nonstructural and structural BVD and BVF following aortic or mitral biological valve replacement with the goal of...

A virtual workshop was organized by the Heart Valve Collaboratory to identify areas of expert consensus, areas of disagreement, and evidence gaps related to bioprosthetic aortic valve hemodynamics. Impaired functional performance of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement is associated with adverse patient outcomes; however, this assessment is complicated by the lack of standardization for labelling, definitions, and measurement techniques, both after surgical and transcatheter valve replacement....
