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

Echocardiography in patients with atrial fibrillation is challenging due to the varying heart
rate. Thus, the topic of this expert proposal focuses on an obvious gap in the current …

Aims Assessing right heart function is challenging, particularly when significant tricuspid
regurgitation (TR) is present. Amongst available echocardiographic techniques for …

Atrial secondary tricuspid regurgitation (A-STR) is a distinct phenotype of secondary
tricuspid regurgitation with predominant dilation of the right atrium and normal right and left …

Aim Left atrial (LA) myopathy is increasingly recognized as an important phenotypic trait in
heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Right atrial (RA) remodelling and …

Background In patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR), right atrial remodeling
(RAR) is a proven marker of disease progression. However, the prognostic value of RAR …

Background Atrial volume index and atrial volume have recently been identified as
predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following electrical cardioversion or …

New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is the most common arrhythmogenic complication in
septic shock patients, significantly increasing the risk of thromboembolic events and …

Aims Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) frequently leads to impaired left atrial (LA) function
because of pressure overload, highlighting the underlying atrial pathology. Two-dimensional …

Aims To assess the accuracy of measuring the right atrial volume (RAV) using two-
dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in a right ventricular focused (RVF) view compared to …
