Myocardial strain imaging by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a
powerful method to diagnose cardiac disease. Strain imaging provides measures of …

Exponential growth in data storage and computational power is rapidly narrowing the gap
between translating findings from advanced clinical informatics into cardiovascular clinical …

Aims The concept of “atrial cardiomyopathy”(AtCM) had been percolating through the
literature since its first mention in 1972. Since then, publications using the term were …

Background Myocardial deformation by echocardiographic strain imaging is a key
measurement in cardiology, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information …

Abstract Purpose of Review To discuss physiologic and methodologic advances in the
echocardiographic assessment of right heart (RH) function, including the emergence of …

Aims Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by
progressive myocardial dysfunction and associated with an increased risk of major …

Background Ineffective right ventricular (RV) adaptation to increasing pulmonary arterial
(PA) afterload in pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) significantly contributes to morbidity and …

Objective Severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) causes significant right atrial (RA)
volume overload, resulting in structural and functional RA-remodelling. This study evaluated …

Aims Although right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with adverse outcomes in
tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the potential role of right atrial (RA) function is unknown. We …

Echocardiographic strain imaging continues to provide new insight into cardiac function.
Recently, right heart function, including both right ventricular and right atrial (RA) function …
