Safety and efficacy of physiologist-led dobutamine stress echocardiography: experience from a tertiary cardiac centre

Echo Research and Practice, 2018
Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) services have traditionally been medically led. In some UK institutions, DSE lists are led by physiologists with medical support.

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1029-1044, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Timing surgery in mitral regurgitation: defining risk and optimising intervention using stress echocardiography

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common form of valvular disease requiring surgery. Correct identification of surgical candidates and optimising the timing of surgery are key in management.

The effects of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on the ‘forgotten’ right ventricle

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1045-1058, April 2025.
Abstract With the progress in diagnosis, treatment and imaging techniques, there is a growing recognition that impaired right ventricular (RV) function profoundly affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Metabolic abnormalities and reprogramming in cats with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1256-1270, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims The heart is a metabolic organ rich in mitochondria. The failing heart reprograms to utilize different energy substrates, which increase its oxygen consumption. These adaptive changes contribute to increased oxidative stress.

The role of post-systolic strain and electrocardiographic changes during dobutamine stress echocardiography in enhancing detection of symptomatic coronary artery disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundTo enhance the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), subjective visual evaluation of left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormalities may be complemented by analyzing myocardial deformation ...

Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1095-1112, April 2025.
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled
