Stress echocardiography is an established technique for the detection of coronary artery
disease, but the echocardiographic assessment of valve disease has conventionally been …

Over the years, JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging has witnessed and showcased some of the
most important advances in cardiovascular imaging. However, the dizzying pace of progress …

Aims: The assessment of aortic stenosis (AS) severity is still challenging, especially in
abnormal hemodynamic conditions. Left ventricular ejection time (LVET) has been …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common form of valvular heart disease and an important
cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography is the primary non …

Assessment of left ventricular (LV) output in hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) is
important to determine prognosis. Although echocardiographic LV ejection fraction (EF) is …

GLS indices were similar between groups. GLS is a marker of longitudinal ventricular
function, which is predominantly the work of the subendocardium, whose fibers are …

Background Evidence of improved risk assessment in aortic stenosis (AS) by using energy-
loss index (ELI) instead of aortic valve area indexed to body surface area (AVAi) is scarce …

This review explores low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis from a heart failure perspective,
describing the mechanisms and consequences for diagnosis, prognosis and management …

Purpose of review To provide a new and practical approach for clinicians assessing and
managing patients with low-gradient severe aortic stenosis (AS) using recent data …

Aims Upon high wall shear stress, high-molecular-weight (HMW) von Willebrand Factor
(VWF) multimers are degraded, thus, HMW VWF multimer deficiency mirrors …
