Abstract
We aimed to comprehensively analyze by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) and Doppler echocardiography right ventricular (RV) performance, pulmonary arterial (PA) elastic properties and right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling (RVPAC) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and assess the feasibility and clinical utility of related echocardiographic indices. Twenty-four adult patients with rTOF and twenty-four controls were studied. RV end-diastolic volume(3D-RVEDV), RV end-systolic volume(3D-RVESV), RV ejection fraction(3D-RVEF), RV longitudinal strain(3D-RVLS) and RV area strain(3D-RVAS) were calculated by 3DSTE. RV end-systolic area (RVESA) was obtained by planimetry. Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) was assessed as trivial/mild or significant by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and color-Doppler. Pulmonary artery (PA) elastic properties were determined using two-dimensional/Doppler echocardiography. RV systolic pressure (RVSP) was measured using standard Doppler methods. RVPAC was assessed using various 3DSTE-derived parameters (3DRVAS/RVSP, 3DRVLS/RVESA, 3DRVAS/RVESV). Overall, 3DRVEF and 3DRVAS were impaired in rTOF patients compared with controls. PA pulsatility and capacitance were reduced (p = 0.003) and PA elastance was higher (p = 0.0007) compared to controls. PA elastance had a positive correlation with 3DRVEDV (r = 0.64, p = 0.002) and 3DRVAS (r = 0.51, p = 0.02). By ROC (receiver operating characteristics) analysis, 3DRVAS/RVESV, 3DRVAS/RVSP and 3DRVLS/RVESA cutoff values of 0.31%/mmHg, 0.57%/mmHg and 0.86%/mmHg, respectively, had 91%, 88% and 88% sensitivity and 81%, 81% and 79% specificity in identifying exercise capacity impairment. In rTOF patients increased 3DSTE-derived RV volumes and impaired RV ejection fraction and strain are associated with reduced PA pulsatility and capacitance and increased PA elastance. 3DSTE-derived RVPAC parameters using different afterload-markers are accurate indices of exercise capacity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the pattern, characteristics, and outcomes of infective endocarditis (IE) in Yemen and compare the results with the findings of a Western university hospital. Patients (pts) with a final diagnosis of IE observed in Al-Thawra Sanaa Cardiac Center were prospectively enrolled in 1-year time period. Clinical and diagnostic findings were compared to clinical and diagnostic data of 50 pts with IE observed at Sapienza University Hospital in Rome, Italy. The mean age was 38 ± 6. Predisposing factors for IE were rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in 34 pts (68%), congenital heart disease in 9 pts (18%), prosthetic valve IE in 4 pts (8%), and previous IE in 3 pts (6%). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was done in 50 pts and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in 25. Blood cultures were taken in all pts and were positive in 3 pts (6%) and negative in 47 (94%). TTE was positive in 34/50 pts (68%) and TEE in 20/25 (80%). Compared to Sapienza University pts, Al-Thawra Cardiac Center pts had a younger age (p = 0.003), more predisposing RHD (p = 0.0004), less prosthetic heart valves IE (p = 0.002), and more negative blood cultures (p = 0.0001). IE is still a common disease in Yemen among RHD pts and affects the younger age group. It has severe complications which need early diagnosis and proper management. Echocardiography is of prime diagnostic value in the absence of positive blood cultures. An effort should be made to prevent rheumatic fever and RHD.

Purpose. In mitral valve prolapse (MVP), preoperative assessment of repairability depends primarily on the complexity of the prolapse and is one of the most challenging roles of the echocardiologist. The aim of this study was to investigate whether three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography helps in the evaluation of both valvar/annular and ventricular aspects in simple (single segment) and complex (multisegmental) MVP.
Methods. We studied 24 patients with mitral regurgitation due to MVP using three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. Mitral valve (MV), left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV) were analyzed. Leaflets surface area, mitral annulus antero-posterior and inter-commissural diameters, area and circumference were determined. Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) defined as a separation between LA-MV junction and LV attachment was evaluated. Papillary muscle to annulus plane distances and inter-papillary distance were obtained. LV global longitudinal and circumferential strain was assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography.
Results. Thirteen patients had complex MVP and 11 had simple MVP. Prolapse volume was 6.37 ± 4.68 mL in complex MVP and 1.59 ± 1.21 mL in simple MVP (p = 0.004). Prolapse height was 10.1 ± 2.9 mm in complex MVP and 5.8 ± 3.2 mm in simple MVP (p = 0.003). Volume/height ratio was 0.58 ± 0.29 in complex MVP and 0.21 ± 0.14 in simple MVP (p = 0.001). LV longitudinal strain had a negative correlation with change in prolapse height (r = 0.58, p < 0.001), whereas LV circumferential strain correlated with change in prolapse volume (r = 0.53, p < 0.005). Annular area was 1037 ± 191mm2 in simple MVP and 1842 ± 336mm2 in complex MVP (p < 0.01). MAD was evident in 8 complex MVP patients (61%) and 2 simple MVP patients (18%, p < 0.05). The 3D extension of MAD was significantly related to total (r = 0.54; p = 0.002) and anterior leaflet surface area (r = 0.52; p = 0.004), length from papillary muscles to coaptation (r = 0.61; p = 0.002) and regurgitant orifice (r = 0.66; p < 0.001).
Conclusions. In MVP patients 3DTEE helps to refine the characterization of simple and complex prolapse by a combined assessment of leaflets/annular details and ventricular attachment.

Abstract
Background:
The purpose of the present study was to assess whether systemic arterial hypertension is associated with abnormal right ventricular (RV) structure and function as assessed by three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography and how those changes are related to left ventricular (LV) strain, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and aortic (Ao) function.
Methods:
We examined 115 hypertensive (mean age, 65±16 years; 52% male) and 115 healthy adults (mean age, 68±13 years; 54% male). Patients were divided into two groups: patients with LVH (Group I, LVMI>115g/m
2
men, LVMI>95g/m
2
women) and patients without LVH (group II). LV longitudinal (LS), circumferential, radial and area (GAS) strains were calculated by three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE). RV free-wall longitudinal strain (LS) was determined by 3DSTE. Aortic (Ao) distensibility and stiffness index (SI) were calculated using accepted formulae. The corrected aortic strain (Ao-S) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography was calculated as the global aortic strain /pulse pressure. Data analysis was performed offline (GE EchoPAC).
Results:
Overall, Ao-SI was increased (r=0.74, p=0.003) and Ao-S was decreased (r=0.79, p=0.002) in hypertensive patients compared with controls. Ao-SI had a negative correlation with Ao-S (r=-0.76, p<0.001). Ao-S correlated with LV and RV longitudinal strain (r=0.62,p=0.02, and r=0.58,p<0.05, respectively) and LV and RV area strain (r=0.66,p=<0.01, and r=0.53,p<0.05, respectively). RV-LS and LV-GAS were lower in Group 1 patients compared to Group 2 (r=0.81, p<0.001), and lower in Group 2 patients compared to controls (r=0.59, p=0.02). There was a positive correlation between LV and RV LS (r=0.52, p<0.05). RV-LS was independently associated with Ao-S (β=0.37, p=0.01), LV-GAS (β=0.32, p=0.027) and LV-LS (β=0.26, p=0.034) in the whole hypertensive population.
Conclusions:
In systemic hypertension there is a complex interaction between LV strain, RV strain and Ao strain. Reduced RV strain can occur even in the absence of LV hypertrophy.

Abstract
Although clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) mainly consist of respiratory symptoms, a severe cardiovascular damage may occur. Moreover, previous studies reported a correlation of cardiovascular metabolic diseases with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and actually, many COVID-19 patients show comorbidities (systemic hypertension, cardio-cerebrovascular disease, and diabetes) and have a raised risk of death. The purpose of this review is to focus the cardiovascular effects of 2019-nCoV on the base of the most recent specific literature and previous learnings from SARS and MERS and analyze the potential role of echocardiography during the current critical period and short- and long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine right ventricular (RV) function by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in patients after correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TF), the accuracy of 3DSTE compared to cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings and assess pulmonary arterial (PA) distensibility in order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the matching between RV performance and PA load.
Methods
Twenty-one patients (mean age 39 ± 16 years) with repaired TF and twenty-one age-matched healthy subjects selected as controls were studied. CMR findings were available in 14 patients. RV volumes, RV ejection fraction (RVEF) and RV longitudinal and circumferential strains were calculated by three-dimensional echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. The main pulmonary artery was interrogated by color, pulsed, and continuous-wave Doppler. Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) was assessed by color-flow mapping and graded as none, mild, or greater than mild using the measurement of the regurgitant jet width in relation to the outflow tract diameter. Right pulmonary artery (PA) was visualized from suprasternal view by two-dimensional echocardiography. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) mode was activated in B-mode imaging to examine arterial motion, then mode was changed to color-mode with the beam line aligned perpendicular to the superior and inferior walls of the right PA. PA distensibility and strain were determined. Data analysis was performed offline.
Results
Overall, 3D RVEF and RV longitudinal strain were reduced in TF patients compared to the control group. Nine patients had moderate or moderate-to-severe PR. PA strain and distensibility were decreased (p = 0.003) compared with controls, both in the presence and absence of PR. PA strain had a positive correlation with RVEF (r = 0.79, p < 0.005) and RV strain (r = 0.82, p < 0.001). RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes by 3DE correlated with the respective parameters by CMR (r = 0.88,p < 0.001 and r = 0.87,p < 0.005 respectively). Patients with moderate-to-severe PR had more prominent PA strain changes (p = 0.02).
Conclusions
Three-dimensional right ventricular ejection fraction and RV strain are impaired in patients with repaired TF, in agreement with CMR data. Reduced PA strain is associated with reduced RV 3DSTE parameters and is more pronounced in the presence of pulmonary regurgitation.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the incremental value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) compared to two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (2D-TEE) in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) of native and prosthetic valves.
Methods
Forty-three patients with clinically suspected IE were studied. The patients had clinical, microbiological and echocardiographic assessment to establish a diagnosis of IE in accordance to current guidelines recommendations. Presence, location and size of vegetations, new or progressive valve regurgitation, possible chordae tendineae rupture, paravalvular extension, and new dehiscence of a valve prosthesis were assessed by echocardiography.
Results
In 25 (58%) patients the diagnosis of IE was established. Thirteen patients had native valves and 12 patients had prosthetic valves (9 mechanical, 3 biological). 2D-TEE and 3D-TEE showed a sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value for diagnosis of IE of 91% and 89%, 88% and 91%, 84% and 86%, and 93% and 90%, respectively, in native valves, and of 92 and 90% 91% and 97% (p = 0.002), 84% and 82% and 89% and 95% (p = 0.01), respectively, in patients with prosthetic valves. Major vegetation diameter was 18mm for 3D-TEE and 16mm for 2D-TEE in native valves and 19mm for 3D-TEE and 14mm for 2D-TEE in prosthetic valves (p = 0.04). Peri-annular extension was detected by any of the echocardiographic modalities in three patients with native valve IE and two patients with prosthetic valves, and by 3D-TEE only and not by 2D-TEE in one patient with prosthetic valve.
Conclusions
Patients with prosthetic valve infective endocarditis seem to have more additive benefit from 3D-TEE compared to patients with native valve IE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to assess biventricular parameters of wall deformation with three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in adolescents and young adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on antiretroviral therapy in order to detect a possible subclinical myocardial dysfunction. METHODS Twenty-one patients aged 12-39 years with HIV, 21 normal controls of the same age and sex, and 21 patients with idiopathic nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were studied with 3DSTE. All HIV patients were stable in terms of HIV infection, with no history of heart disease or other chronic systemic disease except HIV infection, and were on highly active antiretroviral therapy with good immunological control. Standard echocardiographic measures of left ventricular (LV)-right ventricular (RV) function were assessed. 3D LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), circumferential strain, radial strain, and LV twist were calculated. Global area strain (GAS) was calculated by 3DSTE as percentage variation in surface area defined by the longitudinal and circumferential strain vectors. 3D RV global and free-wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) were obtained. RESULTS LV GLS and GAS were lower in HIV patients compared to normal controls (p = 0.002, and p = 0.01, respectively). There were no significant differences in LV ejection fractions between the groups. There was a weak positive correlation between LV GLS and age (r = 0.215, p = 0.034) and a weak negative correlation between LV GLS and nadir-CD4 T-cells count (r = 0.198, p = 0.043). DCM patients had more marked and widespread reduction in LV GLS and GAS compared to controls (p < 0.001), whereas in HIV patients LV strain impairment (p < 0.05) was more localized in basal and apical regions. RV FWLS was significantly reduced in HIV patients when compared with the control group (p = 0.03). No patient had pulmonary systolic pressure higher than 35 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS 3DSTE may help to identify HIV patients at high cardiovascular risk allowing early detection of biventricular dysfunction in the presence of normal LV ejection fraction and in the absence of pulmonary hypertension. LV strain impairment in HIV patients is less prominent and widespread compared to DCM patients.

BACKGROUND Most antiarrhythmic interventional therapies for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been provided with special focus on the treatment of left-sided valvular disease and enlarged left atrium but few studies have assessed AF associated with congenital heart disease and dilated right atrium. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that right atrial (RA) function assessed by two-dimensional (2DSTE) and three-dimensional (3DSTE) speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) before and after percutaneous trancatheter closure could predict paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) development. METHODS Seventy-three patients with hemodynamically significant secundum ASD were prospectively studied and followed up for 6 months after occluder insertion and compared with a normal age-matched group (n = 73). A subgroup of 17 patients who developed PAF after device implantation was also studied. RA peak global longitudinal strain (PS) was determined using 2DSTE. Standard deviations (SDs) of times to peak strain (TPS) were calculated as indices of dyssynchrony. RA volumes, emptying fraction (EF), and expansion index (EI) were determined using 3DSTE. RESULTS RA-PS, EF, and EI (pre-closure values) were reduced in patients with atrial devices compared with controls, and further reductions were observed in patients with PAF. Pre-closure 3D-RA-EI (P = 0.009) and RA-TPS (P = 0.023) were independent predictors of PAF by multivariate analysis after adjustment for age and left atrial dysfunction. The areas under the ROC-curve (AUC) for 3D-RA-EI, RA-PS, RA-TPS (pre-closure values) showed high discriminative values(from 0.76 to 0.85) in predicting PAF. By combining 3D-RA-EI and RA-TPS, the AUC increased to 0.90. CONCLUSIONS Two-dimensional and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography was clinically helpful in ASD patients in revealing right atrial dilatation and dysfunction pre-existent to device closure and associated with PAF development. RA parameters had a higher association with PAF compared to both the size of the implanted device and left atrial indices.

Abstract
Our aim was to analyze atrial function with 2-D (2-D-STE) and 3-D (3-D-STE) speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with atrial septal devices and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). One hundred sixteen patients and a subgroup of 22 patients who developed PAF after device insertion were studied. Left atrial and right atrial peak longitudinal strain and standard deviations of time to peak strain (TPS) were calculated using 2-D-STE. The left atrial/right atrial emptying fraction and expansion index were determined using 3-D-STE. By multivariate analysis, pre-closure 3-D right atrial expansion index, left atrial time to peak strain, and 3-D left atrial expansion index were independently associated with PAF. Compared with the other indices, receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed better diagnostic accuracy for the combination of pre-closure time to peak strain and 3-D expansion index in detecting PAF. Patients with atrial septal devices have pre-existing left and right atrial dilation and dysfunction as assessed by 2-D-STE and 3-D-STE that appear sensitive for the stratification of PAF risk in this population.

Abstract
The dataset presented in this article is related to the research article entitled "Biventricular assessment of light-chain amyloidosis using 3D speckle tracking echocardiography: Differentiation from other forms of myocardial hypertrophy" (Vitarelli et al., 2018) [1], which examined the potential utility of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) deformation and rotational parameters derived from three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis(CA) and differentiate this disease from other forms of myocardial hypertrophy. The combined assessment of LV basal longitudinal strain, LV basal rotation and RV basal longitudinal strain had a high discriminative power for detecting CA. The data of this study provides more understanding on the value of LV 3DSTE deformation parameters as well as RV parameters in this particular cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job may affect vascular health differently, it is important to consider occupation from multiple perspectives to better assess occupational impacts on health. Standard echocardiography has several targets in the cardiac population, as the assessment of myocardial performance, valvular and/or congenital heart disease, and hemodynamics. Three-dimensional echocardiography gained attention recently as a viable clinical tool in assessing left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function, volume, and shape. Two-dimensional (2DSTE) and, more recently, three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) have also emerged as methods for detection of global and regional myocardial dysfunction in various cardiovascular diseases and applied to the diagnosis of subtle LV and RV dysfunction. Although these novel echocardiographic imaging modalities have advanced our understanding of LV and RV mechanics, overlapping patterns often show challenges that limit their clinical utility. This review will describe the current state of standard and advanced echocardiography in early detection (secondary prevention) of CVD and address future directions for this potentially important diagnostic strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients, often before the onset of renal failure, and the pathogenetic mechanism is not yet well elucidated. The aim of the study was to identify early and noninvasive markers of cardiovascular risk in young ADPKD patients, in the early stages of disease. METHODS A total of 26 patients with ADPKD and 24 control group, matched for age and sex, were enrolled, and we have assessed inflammatory indexes, mineral metabolism, metabolic state and markers of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction (carotid intima media thickness (IMT), ankle brachial index (ABI), flow mediated dilation (FMD), renal resistive index (RRI), left ventricular mass index (LVMI)) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), maximal O2 uptake (V'O2max), and O2 uptake at lactic acid threshold (V'O2@LT). RESULTS The ADPKD patients compared to control group, showed a significant higher mean value of LVMI, RRI, homocysteine (Hcy), Homeostasis Model Assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum uric acid (SUA), Cardiac-troponinT (cTnT) and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.007, p=0.019; respectively), and a lower value of FMD and 25-hydroxyvitaminD (25-OH-VitD) (p<0.001, p<0.001) with reduced parameters of exercise tolerance, as V'O2max, V'O2max/Kg and V'O2max (% predicted) (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.018; respectively), and metabolic response indexes (V'O2@LT, V'O2 @LT%, V'O2@LT/Kg,) (p<0.001, p=0.14, p<0.001; respectively). Moreover, inflammatory indexes were significantly higher in ADPKD patients, and we found a positive correlation between HOMA-IR and C-reactive protein (CRP) (r=0.507, p=0.008), and a negative correlation between HOMA-IR and 25-OH-VitD (r=-0.585, p=0.002). CONCLUSION In our study, ADPKD patients, in the early stages of disease, showed a greater insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and mineral metabolism disorders, respect to control group. Moreover, these patients presented reduced tolerance to stress, and decreased anaerobic threshold to CPET. Our results indicate a major and early cardiovascular risk in ADPKD patients. Therefore early and noninvasive markers of cardiovascular risk and CPET should be carried out, in ADPKD patients, in the early stages of disease, despite the cost implication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim was to compare three-dimensional (3D) and 2D and 3D speckle-tracking (2D-STE, 3D-STE) echocardiographic parameters with conventional right ventricular (RV) indexes in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH), and investigate whether these techniques could result in better correlation with hemodynamic variables indicative of heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-three adult patients (mean age, 53±13 years; 44% male) with chronic PH of different etiologies were studied by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization (25 precapillary PH from pulmonary arterial hypertension, 23 obstructive pulmonary heart disease, and 23 postcapillary PH from mitral regurgitation). Thirty healthy subjects (mean age, 54±15 years; 43% male) served as controls. Standard 2D measurements (RV-fractional area change-tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion) and mitral and tricuspid tissue Doppler annular velocities were obtained. RV 3D volumes and global and regional ejection fraction (3D-RVEF) were determined. RV strains were calculated by 2D-STE and 3D-STE. RV 3D global-free-wall longitudinal strain (3DGFW-RVLS), 2D global-free-wall longitudinal strain (GFW-RVLS), apical-free-wall longitudinal strain, basal-free-wall longitudinal strain, and 3D-RVEF were lower in patients with precapillary PH (P<0.0001) and postcapillary PH (P<0.01) compared to controls. 3DGFW-RVLS (hazard ratio 4.6, 95% CI 2.79 to 8.38, P=0.004) and 3D-RVEF (hazard ratio 5.3, 95% CI 2.85 to 9.89, P=0.002) were independent predictors of mortality. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the thresholds offering an adequate compromise between sensitivity and specificity for detecting hemodynamic signs of RV failure were 39% for 3D-RVEF (AUC 0.89), -17% for 3DGFW-RVLS (AUC 0.88), -18% for GFW-RVLS (AUC 0.88), -16% for apical-free-wall longitudinal strain (AUC 0.85), 16 mm for tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (AUC 0.67), and 38% for RV-FAC (AUC 0.62). CONCLUSIONS In chronic PH, 3D, 2D-STE and 3D-STE parameters indicate global and regional RV dysfunction that is associated with RV failure hemodynamics better than conventional echo indices.

Abstract
The aim of the study described here was to compare myocardial strains in ischemic heart patients with and without sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and moderately abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to investigate which index could better predict VT on the basis of the analysis of global and regional left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We studied 467 patients with previous myocardial infarction and LVEF >35%. Fifty-one patients had documented VT, and 416 patients presented with no VT. LV volumes and score index were obtained by 2-D echocardiography. Longitudinal, radial and circumferential strains were determined. Strains of the infarct, border and remote zones were also obtained. There were no differences in standard LV 2-D parameters between patients with and those without VT. Receiver operating characteristic values were -12.7% for global longitudinal strain (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.72), -4.8% for posterior-inferior wall circumferential strain (AUC = 0.80), 61 ms for LV mechanical dispersion (AUC = 0.84), -10.1% for longitudinal strain of the border zone (AUC = 0.86) and -9.2% for circumferential strain of the border zone (AUC = 0.89). In patients with previous myocardial infarction and moderately abnormal LVEF, peri-infarct circumferential strain was the strongest predictor of documented ventricular arrhythmias among all strain quantitative indices. Additionally, strain values from posterior-inferior wall infarctions had a higher association with arrhythmic events compared with global strain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can affect right ventricular (RV) performance even in the absence of systemic hypertension and other known cardiac or obstructive pulmonary disease. The purpose of the present study was to assess RV function in OSAS using 3-D echocardiography and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and evaluate changes after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. METHODS Thirty-seven patients with OSAS without comorbidities and thirty control subjects were studied using 3-D echocardiography and STE. Fifteen patients underwent CPAP therapy and were studied before and after treatment. RV 3-D ejection fraction was calculated. Peak systolic strain was determined. RV dyssynchrony was defined as SD of the 6 time to peak systolic strain values. RESULTS 3-D RV ejection fraction was lower and RV dyssynchrony was greater in patients with moderate-severe OSAS compared with control subjects in the presence and absence of pulmonary hypertension. 3-D RV ejection fraction and RV dyssynchrony were independently associated with apnea-hypopnea index. Patients treated with CPAP had significant changes in RV parameters. CONCLUSIONS 3-D RV ejection fraction and RV dyssynchrony were abnormal in OSAS patients compared with control subjects and associated with OSAS severity. RV 3-D STE abnormalities improved after chronic application of CPAP.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia and obesity are considered strong risk factors for premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and increased morbidity and mortality and may have a negative impact on myocardial function.Our purpose was to assess the presence of early myocardial deformation abnormalities in dyslipidemic children free from other cardiovascular risk factors, using 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) and 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE).We studied 80 consecutive nonselected patients (6-18 years of age) with hypercholesterolemia (low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol levels >95th percentile for age and sex). Forty of them had normal weight and 40 were obese (body mass index >95th percentile for age and sex). Forty healthy age-matched children were selected as controls. Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strains were calculated by 2DSTE and 3DSTE. Global area strain (GAS) was calculated by 3DSTE as percentage of variation in surface area defined by the longitudinal and circumferential strain vectors. Right ventricular (RV) global and free-wall longitudinal strain and LV and RV diastolic strain rate parameters were obtained. Data analysis was performed offline.LV global longitudinal strain and GAS were lower in normal-weight and obese dyslipidemic children compared with normal controls and reduced in obese patients compared with normal-weight dyslipidemic children. LV early diastolic strain rate was lower compared with normals. RV global and free-wall longitudinal strain was significantly reduced in obese patients when compared with the control group. A significant inverse correlation was found between LV strain, LDL cholesterol levels, and body mass index.2DSTE and 3DSTE show LV longitudinal strain and GAS changes in dyslipidemic children and adolescents free from other cardiovascular risk factors or structural cardiac abnormalities. Obesity causes an additive adverse effect on LV strain parameters and RV strain impairment.

Abstract
AIMS Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in cryptogenic cerebrovascular events is an alternative to medical therapy. The interpretation of residual shunts after implantation of different devices for PFO with different morphologies is controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcatheter PFO closure was performed in 123 patients with a history of ≥1 paradoxical embolism using three different devices: Amplatzer (n = 46), Figulla Occlutech (n = 41), and Atriasept Cardia (n = 36). Fifty-six patients presented with simple PFO and 67 patients had complex morphologies. All patients were studied with contrast enhanced transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) before interventional procedure and thereafter at 1 and 6 months and every 6-12 months in case of incomplete closure. Definite closure was confirmed in at least two consecutive TEE studies. Various PFO morphologies were identified by TEE before device implantation. The device size to PFO diameter ratio was significantly increased in patients with complex PFO compared with those patients with a simple PFO morphology (P < 0.05). The difference between the closure rate of S-PFO and C-PFO concerning each device type was significant (Amplatzer P = 0.0027, Figulla P = 0.0043, and Atriasept P < 0.01). The mean follow-up period was 3.4 years (median 2.7 years) with a cerebrovascular re-event rate of 2.4% per year. In three patients, thrombi were detected in the 6-month TEE controls and resolved after medical therapy. In three other patients, the implantation of an adjunctive device was necessary for residual shunt. CONCLUSION In our series of patients, the closure rate was dependent on PFO morphology more than occluder size and type. An adjunctive device was implanted in selected cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess changes in right ventricular (RV) parameters determined by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with acute pulmonary embolism and RV dysfunction without systemic hypotension (submassive pulmonary embolism). METHODS Sixty-six patients were prospectively studied at the onset of the acute episode and after median follow-up periods of 30 days and 6 months. Sixty-six controls were selected. RV fractional area change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and myocardial performance index were determined. RV systolic pressure was assessed using continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography. Three-dimensional RV ejection fraction (RVEF) was calculated. Two-dimensional peak systolic RV longitudinal strain (RVLS) was measured in the basal free wall, mid free wall (MFW), and apical free wall and the septum. RESULTS Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and fractional area change were smaller and myocardial performance index was larger compared with controls (P < .05). Global RVLS (P < .05), MFW RVLS (P < .001), and 3D RVEF (P < .001) were lower in patients with pulmonary embolism than in controls. There was earlier reversal of MFW RVLS values on 30-day follow-up and longer reversal of 3D RVEF and RV systolic pressure values at 6-month follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that changes in 3D RVEF and MFW RVLS were the most sensitive predictors of adverse events. By multivariate analysis, RV systolic pressure (P = .007), MFW RVLS (P = .002), and 3D RVEF (P = .001) were independently associated with adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Acute submassive pulmonary embolism has a significant impact on RV function as assessed by 3D echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiography. Decreases in MFW RVLS and 3D RVEF may persist during short-term and long-term follow-up and correlate with unfavorable outcomes.

Abstract
Background.
Dyslipidemia is considered a strong risk factor for premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and increased morbidity and mortality and may have an adverse effect on left ventricular (LV) performance. Three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) provides information regarding different echocardiographic parameters of LV myocardial deformation.
Purpose.
Our aim was to assess the presence of early myocardial deformation abnormalities in nonselected dyslipidemic children free from other cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods.
Twenty-four consecutive nonselected hypercholesterolemic children (TC above the 95th percentile for age and gender, mean age 11.3 ± 2.16 years) and 24 healthy age-matched children were enrolled. None of them had any other cardiovascular risk factors. Obesity (body mass index >75th percentile for age and gender) as well as other diseases were excluded. Every subject underwent 2D- and 3D-STI. Volumes were measured from 3D datasets. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global area strain (GAS), and global radial strain (GRS) were computed at end-systole. GAS was calculated as the percentage variation in the surface area defined by the longitudinal and circumferential strain vectors. Data analysis was performed offline (EchoPAC BT11, 4D Auto LVQ, GE).
Results.
Mean percentage intraobserver variability was 7% for GLS, 9% for GCS, 6% for GAS, and 11% for GRS. Comparison between 2D and 3D GLS showed high correspondence (r = 0.89, y = 1.13x - 0.78). The mean time of analysis was of 149 ± 27 sec for 3D analysis, which was 17% less than for 2D analysis (p<0.05). The following strain values were obtained in hyperlipidemic patients compared to controls: 3D GLS (-14.7±2.5% vs -16.8±2.7%, p <0.005), 3D GCS (-28.1±3.6% vs -29.6±4.2%, p <0.01), 3D GRS (29.6±9.2% vs 30.2±9.7%, p =NS), and 3D GAS (-39.8±3.4% vs -43.2±3.2%, p <0.001). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the strongest relationship with dyslipidemia was found for LV GAS (β- coefficient= 0.74, r
2
= 0.61, p= 0.002).
Conclusions.
Dyslipidemia is associated with myocardial deformation changes independently from any other cardiovascular risk factor or any structural cardiac abnormalities.

Abstract
The introduction of speckle tracking imaging (STI) allowed the quantification of the regional myocardial function in the right ventricular (RV) free wall using deformation parameters. We sought to evaluate the potential utility of STI at rest and after stress to predict arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia (ARVD). We studied 19 patients with ARVD (diagnosed according to the task force criteria) and 19 healthy age- and gender-matched subjects. Both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional echocardiography were performed. The RV and left ventricular annular peak systolic velocities were measured using tissue Doppler imaging. The RV-left ventricular peak systolic longitudinal strain (LS) was obtained in the basal, mid, and apical segments in the apical 4-chamber view using STI. An exercise stress-echocardiographic test was undertaken using bicycle ergometry with the patient in the supine position for all patients, and the indexes were assessed at peak effort. The STI measurements were determined using offline analysis programs. The 3-dimensional RV ejection fraction and strain were significantly lower in patients with ARVD than in the controls. The RV strain values at rest did not change significantly during maximum physical effort in the patients with ARVD. The receiver operating characteristic curves suggested that the thresholds offering an adequate compromise between sensitivity and specificity for the detection of ARVD were 9.35 cm/s for the RV annular peak systolic velocity (area under the curve 0.81), 42% for 3-dimensional RV ejection fraction (area under the curve 0.85), -25% for mean global RV-LS (area under the curve 0.86), -18% for the lowest peak systolic RV-LS (area under the curve 0.88), and -1.2 for peak minus baseline global change of stress RV-LS (area under the curve 0.92). In conclusion, STI at rest and during stress might enable quantitative assessment of RV function and the detection of ARVD and have potential clinical value in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
AIMS Previous studies have shown distinct models of cardiac adaptations to the training in master athletes and different effects of endurance and strength-training on cardiovascular function. We attempted to assess left-ventricular (LV) function, aortic (Ao) function, and right-ventricular (RV) function in athletes with different forms of training by using three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle-tracking imaging (STI). METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 35 male marathon runners (endurance-trained athletes, ETA), 35 powerlifting athletes (strength-trained athletes, STA), 35 martial arts athletes (mixed-trained athletes, MTA), and 35 sedentary untrained healthy men (controls, CTR). Two-dimensional and three-dimensional echocardiography were performed for the assessment of LV and RV systolic/diastolic function. LV and RV longitudinal strain (LS) and LV torsion (LVtor) were determined using STI (EchoPAC BT11, GE-Ultrasound). Maximum velocity of systolic wall expansion peaks (AoSvel) was determined using TDI. ETA experienced LV eccentric hypertrophy with increased 3D LV end-diastolic volume and mass and significant increase in peak systolic apical rotation and LVtor. In all groups of athletes, RV-LS was reduced at rest and improved after exercise. AoSvel was significantly increased in ETA and MTA and significantly decreased in STA compared with CTR. There were good correlations between LV remodelling and aortic stiffness values. Multivariate analysis showed aortic wall velocities to be independently related to LV mass index. CONCLUSION In strength-trained, endurance-trained, and mixed-trained athletes, ventricular and vascular response assessed by 3DE, TDI, and STI underlies different adaptations of LV, RV, and aortic indexes.

Abstract
The case is reported of giant mitral valve vegetation that was wedged into the aortic valve plane (aortic valve 'kissing' vegetation), causing obstruction to the left ventricular outflow tract. In such a case, echocardiography plays a key role in the assessment of vegetation morphology, risk of embolization, impact on valvular function and indication for surgery. Because of its size, the obstructive hemodynamics, and the potential to induce aortic valve endocarditis, aortic 'kissing' vegetation requires surgical intervention to preserve the integrity of the valve and improve the hemodynamic status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous echocardiographic studies using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle tracking imaging (STI) have demonstrated that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients may develop subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Our purpose was to evaluate the impact of OSAS on LV torsion dynamics and aortic stiffness by using TDI and STI echocardiography. METHODS Forty-two patients with OSAS and no comorbidities were studied. They were classified into mild and severe OSAS according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Thirty-five healthy subjects were selected as controls. Fifteen patients with severe OSAS underwent chronic nocturnal nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Standard echocardiographic parameters were assessed. Global LV longitudinal strain (LS), radial and circumferential strain were determined by STI. Averaged LV rotation and rotational velocities from the base and apex were obtained and used for calculation of LV torsion (LVtor). Mitral annular velocities and aortic wall velocities and strain (AoS) were also obtained by TDI. RESULTS Severe OSAS had decreased LS compared with control subjects. LVtor increased significantly in severe OSAS compared to normals (p<.001) as a result of a predominant increase in apical rotation and was independently related to AHI and AoS in a multiple stepwise linear regression model. The group treated with CPAP had a significant decrease in LVtor and aortic stiffness index and significant increase in LS and AoS. CONCLUSIONS LVtor, LS and AoS were identified as parameters demonstrating an association between LV dysfunction, aortic stiffness and severity of OSAS independently of other possible factors or comorbidities.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease represent a large proportion of heart disease in pregnancy. With the exception of patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome, pulmonary vascular obstructive disease, and Marfan's syndrome with aortopathy, maternal death during pregnancy is rare in women with CHD but morbidity occurs such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke. Echocardiography represents a milestone in diagnosis, understanding of pathophysiology, assessment of disease severity and patient monitoring in pregnant women with unoperated and post-operative congenital heart disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic stiffness may be associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events and has been reported to be related to arterial wall motion velocities as measured by tissue Doppler imaging. OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential clinical application of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) for assessment of aortic function parameters in healthy and hypertensive adults. METHODS 110 hypertensive and 80 healthy adults were examined. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Aix) were measured as standard parameters of arterial stiffness by an oscillometric system. Aortic M-mode and TDI parameters were measured. Aortic distensibility (D) and aortic stiffness index (SI) were calculated using accepted formulae. Anterior wall aortic expansion velocity (S(Ao)), acceleration time (AT(Ao)), early (E(Ao)) and late (A(Ao)) diastolic retraction velocity and peak systolic radial strain (epsilon(Ao)) were determined. Comprehensive echocardiography was performed for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic/diastolic function. RESULTS S(Ao), E(Ao) and e(Ao) were significantly lower in hypertensive subjects (p<.001, p<.001, and p<.0001, respectively). Reduced D (p<.05 vs controls) and increased PWV (p<.05 vs controls) and SI (p<.01 vs controls) were consistent with evidence of increased aortic stiffness in both male and female hypertensive patients. PWV and Aix increased and D decreased with increasing age or systolic blood pressure. Multivariate analysis showed epsilon(Ao) to be independently related (R2 = 0.63) to pulse pressure, LV mass index and diastolic function. CONCLUSION Ascending aorta TDI provides wall velocity and strain data differentiating hypertensive from healthy adults and reflecting aortic compliance changes related to age and sex and LV diastolic function.

Abstract
Cardiovascular involvement is the leading cause of morbidity and death in Churg-Strauss syndrome. Herein, we describe the case of a 47-year-old man with Churg-Strauss syndrome, in whom the use of novel echocardiographic techniques revealed segmental cardiomyopathy. Tissue Doppler and speckle-tracking imaging showed that both longitudinal and radial strain were impaired at the septal level and that the impairment of circumferential strain affected left ventricular torsion. Our case shows that advanced echocardiography with myocardial strain imaging in multiple vectors can identify systolic-diastolic abnormalities in a patient with myocardial infiltration and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction.
