Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Indices of Right Ventricle Dysfunction in Pulmonary Hypertension
Introduction: Echocardiography is usually the first modalities of imaging to evaluate the structural and functional disorders of the heart and great vessels, and colored flow and Doppler images are able to perform hemodynamic and bloodstream evaluations.

Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

"Amber in chamber" an enigmatous right atrial mass in a neonate
The incidence of fungal infection is increasing worldwide. Although fungal infection is common in adults, few cases have been reported in the neonatal population. We report a case of the preterm neonate of 34 weeks who developed respiratory distress on 2

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

Development of a Z-score equation for atrioventricular interval measurement by two-dimensional pulsed Doppler echocardiography in normal fetuses between 16 and 33+6 weeks of gestation [PDF]
Purpose Fetal echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool for assessing the atrioventricular (AV) time interval. Establishing a reference range for this parameter throughout pregnancy is essential for the early detection of potential abnormalities ...

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