Evaluation of a novel fetal echocardiography training programme in two tertiary care obstetric Centres

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Improving and maintaining high detection rates for major congenital heart disease (CHD) is a priority for successful prenatal anatomy screening programmes. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of on‐site multidimensional targeted training in fetal cardiac screening. Methods A prospective study evaluating a

Maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with echocardiographically high probability of pulmonary arterial hypertension

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to describe maternal and perinatal outcomes among pregnant women with echocardiographically high probability of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) managed at a quaternary center and to compare outcomes between women with and without cardiac complications (CC).

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Tissue Doppler echocardiography – A case of right tool, wrong use

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2004
Background The developments in echocardiography or ultrasound cardiography (UCG) have improved our clinical capabilities. However, advanced hardware and software capabilities have resulted in UCG facilities of dubious clinical benefits. Is tissue Doppler

Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Successful propranolol therapy for infantile hepatic hemangioma with cardiac failure

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) can cause severe complications such as high‐output cardiac failure and growth faltering, requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. In the absence of standardized treatment guidelines, propranolol has emerged as an effective and well‐tolerated therapy.

Middle Cerebral Artery Doppler and Cerebroplacental Ratio Predict Adverse Neurological Outcomes in Fetal Growth Restriction

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To assess the efficacy of middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler ultrasonography in predicting neurological and respiratory outcomes in fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to establish a correlation between MCA Doppler and head circumference (HC). Method Retrospective cohort study examining singleton pregnancies affected by

The Evolution in Understanding the Physiological Causes of Dyspnoea in Large Hiatal Herniation: A Narrative Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The symptomatology of large hiatus hernia (LHH) has been historically poorly understood, with cardiorespiratory symptoms caused by LHH being underappreciated by clinicians. This study reports on the mechanisms of dyspnoea in LHH through a historical review of symptoms and evolved physiological literature, discussing likely causation.
