Three‐dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography enables precise accurate quantification of mitral regurgitation severity. In a Tunisian cohort, 3D VCA showed strong correlations with conventional 2D indices and excellent diagnostic performance for severe MR, supporting its use particularly in rheumatic mitral ...

e' increased rapidly after TAVI. The increase in E velocity was independently associated with the increase in e′ even after adjustment for stroke volume, suggesting that early e′ enhancement reflects both improved myocardial relaxation and load‐related mechanisms. ABSTRACT Purpose Early improvements in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function have been

Predictive Value of D‐Dimer to Albumin Ratio for Outcome in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Patients
ABSTRACT Preoperative risk assessment and identification of potential biomarkers may optimize prognostic outcomes in patients with aortic dissection patients. The relationship between the D‐dimer to albumin ratio (DAR), an emerging biomarker that has recently attracted increasing attention, and postoperative outcomes in patients with acute type A ...

Multidomain Arterial Afterload and Left Atrial–Left Ventricular Coupling in Hypertensive Phenotypes
ABSTRACT Brachial blood pressure may not fully reflect the multidimensional arterial load associated with left atrial–left ventricular (LA–LV) coupling. In this cross‐sectional study, we examined local carotid pulse wave velocity (PWV), cuff‐derived arterial pressure–volume index (API), and arterial velocity–pulse index (AVI), separately and as a ...

ABSTRACT Background Clinical data about pulsed field ablation (PFA) under deep sedation among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are limited, while the optimal periprocedural monitoring is not established. We report our experience in PFA among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and OSA, using a continuous non‐invasive respiratory and ...
