Abstract
BACKGROUND Little evidence is available on post-pulmonary embolism impairment (PPEI), a recently defined complication of pulmonary embolism (PE) encompassing dysfunctional clinical and imaging parameters. In the present study, we sought to evaluate its frequency with a focus on the main components. METHODS In this prospective registry, we included patients with a confirmed diagnosis of acute PE and focused on those with initial right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Their baseline, pre-discharge, and 6 month follow-up clinical and imaging characteristics were recorded. The main study outcomes were incomplete RV functional recovery, exercise capacity limitations (based on the 6 minute walk test), and their combination, which defines PPEI, within six months of acute PE. RESULTS Of 170 consecutive patients with a confirmed diagnosis of acute PE, 123 accepted to participate in the follow-up study, of whom 87 had initial RV dysfunction. The 6 month rates of incomplete RV functional recovery, signs of an intermediate-to-high echocardiographic probability of PH, and exercise limitations were observed in 58.6, 32.1, and 45.9%, respectively. A total of 22 (25.2%; 95% CI 15.5-34.4%) patients had PPEI. The RV/LV ratio and the fractional area change on discharge after acute PE were more often impaired among patients with incomplete RV recovery, exercise limitations, and a high probability of PH at 6 months. In contrast, an initial impaired RV diastolic function indices appeared to characterize patients with a limited exercise capacity at 6 months. DISCUSSION PPEI affects one fourth of patients surviving acute PE with half of them presenting with RV dysfunction or exercise limitations.

Abstract
Background The Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life (PEmb-QoL) questionnaire is the first disease-specific scale for assessing the quality of life in patients with a history of pulmonary embolism (PE). Objectives To assess the cross-cultural validity and reliability of the disease-specific PEmb-QoL questionnaire. Methods The Persian version was prepared through the forward and backward translation of the English questionnaire. Six months after the diagnosis of acute PE, consecutive Persian-speaking patients were asked to complete the PEmb-QoL, the generic 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaires and undertake a 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Acceptability was assessed via item missing rate, reproducibility by the test-retest method, and internal consistency reliability by Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω coefficients. Convergence validity was assessed using the Spearman rank correlation between scores of PEmb-QoL, SF-36, and 6MWT. The questionnaire structure was evaluated through exploratory factor analysis. Results Ninety-six patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PE completed the questionnaires. The Persian version of PEmb-QoL had good internal consistency (α = 0.95, 3-factor ω = 0.96), inter-item correlation (0.3-0.62), item-total correlation (0.38-0.71), reproducibility (test-retest ICC with 25 participants = 0.92-0.99), and good discriminant validity. Convergence validity was confirmed by the moderate-to-high correlations between PEmb-QoL and SF-36 scores, and a good correlation between the "limitation in daily activities" dimension of the PEmb-QoL questionnaire and 6MWT results. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a 3-component structure with functional (items 1h, 4b-5d, 6, 8, 9i, and 9j), symptoms (1b-h, 7, and 8), and emotional (5a, 6, and 9a-h) components. Conclusion The Persian version of the PEmb-QoL questionnaire is valid and reliable for measuring the disease-specific quality of life in patients with PE.

Abstract
Importance The optimal treatment of intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) remains unknown. Objective To assess the effect of conventional catheter-directed thrombolysis (cCDT) plus anticoagulation vs anticoagulation monotherapy in improving echocardiographic measures of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) ratio in acute intermediate-high-risk PE. Design, Setting, and Participants The Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis vs Anticoagulation in Patients with Acute Intermediate-High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (CANARY) trial was an open-label, randomized clinical trial of patients with intermediate-high-risk PE, conducted in 2 large cardiovascular centers in Tehran, Iran, between December 22, 2018, through February 2, 2020. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned to cCDT (alteplase, 0.5 mg/catheter/h for 24 hours) plus heparin vs anticoagulation monotherapy. Main Outcomes and Measures The proportion of patients with a 3-month echocardiographic RV/LV ratio greater than 0.9, assessed by a core laboratory, was the primary outcome. The proportion of patients with an RV/LV ratio greater than 0.9 at 72 hours after randomization and the 3-month all-cause mortality were among secondary outcomes. Major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5) was the main safety outcome. A clinical events committee, masked to the treatment assignment, adjudicated clinical outcomes. Results The study was prematurely stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic after recruiting 94 patients (mean [SD] age, 58.4 [2.5] years; 27 women [29%]), of whom 85 patients completed the 3-month echocardiographic follow-up. Overall, 2 of 46 patients (4.3%) in the cCDT group and 5 of 39 patients (12.8%) in the anticoagulation monotherapy group met the primary outcome (odds ratio [OR], 0.31; 95% CI, 0.06-1.69; P = .24). The median (IQR) 3-month RV/LV ratio was significantly lower with cCDT (0.7 [0.6-0.7]) than with anticoagulation (0.8 [0.7-0.9); P = .01). An RV/LV ratio greater than 0.9 at 72 hours after randomization was observed in fewer patients treated with cCDT (13 of 48 [27.0%]) than anticoagulation (24 of 46 [52.1%]; OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.14-0.80; P = .01). Fewer patients assigned to cCDT experienced a 3-month composite of death or RV/LV greater than 0.9 (2 of 48 [4.3%] vs 8 of 46 [17.3%]; OR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.04-1.03; P = .048). One case of nonfatal major gastrointestinal bleeding occurred in the cCDT group. Conclusions and Relevance This prematurely terminated randomized clinical trial of patients with intermediate-high-risk PE was hypothesis-generating for improvement in some efficacy outcomes and acceptable rate of major bleeding for cCDT compared with anticoagulation monotherapy and provided support for a definitive clinical outcomes trial. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05172115.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute myocarditis is one of the etiologies of acute heart failure, chronic dilated cardiomyopathy, and cardiac mortality. The extent of right ventricular (RV) involvement and its impact on the course of the disease have been scarcely studied. This study aimed to evaluate both the prevalence of RV dysfunction in acute myocarditis and echocardiographic measures as a diagnostic tool for RV dysfunction compared with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) findings. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled patients with a definite or probable acute myocarditis diagnosis based on the Lake Louise criteria in CMR and evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiographic measures in predicting RV dysfunction in CMR. RESULTS The study population consisted of 71 patients, including 54 men (76%), at a median (Q1-Q3) age of 33 (26-46) years. CMR detected RV dysfunction in 53.5% of the patients. The RV free wall peak systolic longitudinal strain showed the highest correlation (r = -.786, p < .001) and area under the curve (.919) with the RV ejection fraction in CMR, followed by the RV global peak systolic longitudinal strain and the RV fractional area change. The RV-free wall peak systolic longitudinal strain had a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 73% for the diagnosis of RV dysfunction in myocarditis. A cutoff value of -17.9% was 100% specific for RV systolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiography, as a readily available tool, was predictive of and had acceptable accuracy for RV dysfunction in acute myocarditis compared with CMR.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by the dilation and impaired contraction of 1 or both ventricles and can be caused by a variety of disorders. Up to 50% of idiopathic DCM cases have heritable familial diseases, and the clinical screening of family members is recommended. Identifying a genetic cause that can explain the DCM risk in the family can help with better screening planning and clinical decision-making. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) has aided significantly in the detection of causative genes in many genetically heterogeneous diseases. In the present study, we applied WES to identify the causative genetic variant in a family with heritable DCM.
Methods
WES was applied to identify genetic variants on a 26-year-old man as the proband of a family with DCM. Subsequently, Sanger sequencing was performed to confirm the variant in the patient and all the available affected and unaffected family members. The pathogenicity of the variant was evaluated through co-segregation analysis in the family and employment of in silico predictive software.
Results
WES demonstrated the missense pathogenic heterozygous nucleotide variant, c.1907G > A, (p.Arg636His, rs267607004, NM_0011343), in exon 9 of the RBM20 gene in the proband. The variant was co-segregated in all the affected family members in a heterozygous form and the unaffected family members. The in silico analysis confirmed the variant as pathogenic.
Conclusion
Pathogenic RBM20 nucleotide variants are associated with arrhythmogenic DCM. We believe that our report is the first to show an RBM20 variant in Iranian descent associated with DCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic era, clinical programs and mandatory hands-on activities have been supplanted by remote teaching to maintain the fundamental capabilities of medical training and to furnish medical students with quality education. Nonetheless, the satisfaction of faculty members with this training method in the current pandemic has yet to be assessed. The aim of this study was to design a Persian questionnaire with appropriate validity and reliability on cardiology professors' satisfaction level with virtual education. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was devised drawing upon scientific sources and Iranian medical educators' expertise. Seventeen faculty members in various specialties evaluated the questionnaire concerning face and content validity. Content validity was assessed through the calculation of the content validity ratio (CVR) (values >0.62 were considered acceptable) and the content validity index (CVI) (values >0.79 were considered acceptable), construct validity was evaluated through principal component factor analysis by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistic and Bartlett's sphericity test, internal reliability was measured through the calculation of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and consistency was appraised through the use of test-retest reliability at two different time points. RESULTS The questionnaire had a reliability rate of 95%, indicating high internal validity. Concerning test-retest reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96 (P < 0.001), demonstrating relatively good stability. The CVI was 0.81, and the CVR was 0.85. The KMO measure of sampling adequacy was 0.954, indicating the acceptability of the degree of common variance among the all items. CONCLUSIONS This Persian questionnaire on virtual education aimed at cardiology faculty members in the current pandemic with its low question count and appropriate domains had high reliability and validity. By knowing the level of professors' satisfaction with the new method of education, it is possible to take steps to better provide specialized medical education to cardiology residents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombolysis is an alternative to surgery for mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis (MPVT). Randomized clinical trials have yet to test safety and efficacy of a proposed ultraslow thrombolytic infusion regimen. METHODS AND RESULTS This single-center, open-label, pilot randomized clinical trial randomized adult patients with acute obstructive MPVT to an ultraslow thrombolytic regimen (25 mg of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator [rtPA] infused in 25h) and a fast thrombolytic regimen (50 mg of rtPA infused in 6h). If thrombolysis failed, a repeated dose of 25 mg of rtPA for 6h was administered in both groups up to a cumulative dose of 150 mg or the occurrence of a complication. Primary outcome was a complete MPVT resolution (>75% fall in the obstructive gradient by transthoracic echocardiography, <10° limitation in opening and closing valve motion angles by fluoroscopy, and symptom improvement). Key safety outcome was a BARC type III or V major bleeding. Overall, 120 patients, including 63 (52.5%) women, at a mean age of 36.3±15.3 years, were randomized. Complete thrombolysis success was achieved in 51 patients (85.0%) in the ultraslow-regimen group and 47 patients (78.3%) in the fast-regimen group (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 0.25 to 1.63; P = 0.34). One case of transient ischemic attack and 3 cases of intracranial hemorrhage (absolute risk difference, -12.5%; 95% CI, -23.1% to -1.0%; P = 0.04). were observed only in the fast-regimen group. CONCLUSIONS The ultraslow thrombolytic regimen conferred a high thrombosis resolution rate without major complications. Such findings should be replicated in more adequately powered trials (IRCT20181022041406N2).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Post-pulmonary emboli impairment (PPEI), comprised significant morbidity and mortality. A single center registry of patients with PE was established in order to estimate patients' risk, monitor clinical management and develop a simple model to assess the risk for PPEI for the entire spectrum of patients treated in general clinical practice.
Methods
For developing the mentioned model, apart from approved imaging parameters, potential novel imaging parameters were also evaluated. Recovery were assessed according to Pulmonary Embolism Thrombolysis (PEITHO) trial definition (Figure 1).
Results
140 patients have been registered with at least 6-month imaging follow up. PPEI was confirmed in 75 (53.6%) patients with PE. The prognostic value of traditional and novel imaging parameters on 6-month complete recovery were summarized in Table. A multivariable logistic regression model was developed using 140 patients. Previous PE, HRfollowing five in-hospital-parameters accounted for simple prognostic model for incomplete recovery: history of PE, heart rate≥110, serum blood urea nitrogen level, RV/LV ratio and right atrium area, The overall prediction ability was excellent with 80.6 overall percentage for PPEI.
Conclusions
PPPEI rate was considerable in our study. Our proposed simple prediction model might have a role on identification of patients at risk for PPEI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases constitute one of the main aetiologies of mortality among patients with cancer. Population ageing and cancer survival rate improvements have resulted in the coexistence of cardiovascular diseases and malignancies in an increasing number of patients. With the diversity in treatments and the introduction of new drug lines, multiple mechanisms of cardiovascular injury have been recognized in these patients. Cardio-oncology is an emerging entity introduced to provide a proper solution to the several challenges encountered in the management of patients with cancer and cardiac involvement. This review will assess the logical grounds for establishing a cardio-oncology unit, describe the main objectives and the detailed responsibilities in such systems, and outline the target population. Furthermore, the importance of research and appropriate data collection will be highlighted. Lastly, the special considerations and modifications required for setting up such centres in the developing countries are discussed.

Abstract
Corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19) pandemic has caused a significant burden on the global health system. Considerable cardiovascular involvement has been reported among COVID-19 patients with higher ICU admission and mortality rates among patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Consequently, diagnostic cardiovascular evaluations such as echocardiography are a crucial part of the disease management. On the other hand, providing safety for the patients and the healthcare personnel is a matter of great concern in the pandemic state. In this document, we have provided recommendations on performing echocardiography in hospital echocardiography labs and outpatient echocardiography clinics during the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease of 2019) outbreak.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) is currently the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis (MS) that have favorable valvular characteristics. We aimed to evaluate the effect of PMC on the longitudinal strain of the right ventricular (RV) free wall in patients with severe MS. METHODS This prospective study recruited patients who underwent PMC. Transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiographic examinations were performed. The mitral valve area (MVA) was measured by three-dimensional evaluation. The RV longitudinal strain was measured via the speckle-tracking method. RESULTS A total of 42 patients with a maximum MVA of 1.5 cm2 underwent PMC in our study. The MVA increased significantly after the procedure (pre-PMC MVA = 0.94 ± 0.20 cm2 vs post-PMC MVA = 1.45 ± 0.18 cm2 ; P < .01). Systolic pulmonary artery pressure decreased from 46.05 ± 14.08 mm Hg preprocedurally to 35.86 ± 7.53 mm Hg postprocedurally (P < .01). The mean RV free wall longitudinal strain was -19.00 ± 5.14%, which rose significantly after PMC to -20.97 ± 3.81 (P < .05). There were postprocedural increases, albeit nonsignificant, in the tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion, the peak systolic Doppler velocity of the RV free wall, and fractional area change. The improvement in the RV longitudinal strain was more prominent in the patients with an MVA of less than 1.0 cm2 . CONCLUSIONS There was a significant post-PMC rise in the RV free wall longitudinal strain measures in our study population, demonstrating an immediate improvement in the RV systolic function of the patients.

Abstract
The management of floating right heart thrombi (FRHT) in patients with acute pulmonary emboli is controversial. Several recent case series have revealed similar efficacy and better survival rates with systemic thrombolytic therapy than with surgery. In this case series, we present our experience with the efficacy of “half-dose” or “safe-dose” thrombolytic therapy in the resolution of FRHT. Five patients who were admitted with confirmed acute pulmonary emboli and FRHT were included in the present report. Half-dose thrombolytic therapy (50 mg of alteplase) was administered to the patients. Follow-up echocardiography revealed complete resolution of the FRHT and considerable improvement in the right heart function. No bleeding events were recorded. Our small case series shows the efficacy and safety of half-dose thrombolytic therapy in FRHT resolution in a group of patients with high bleeding risk. Our findings should be tested in larger populations.

Abstract
Anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare coronary anomaly usually presenting in the first year of life. Adult presentation suggests a wide range of differential diagnosis such as myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and coronary artery disease. We have presented here the major distinctive echocardiographic features of ALCAPA through 4 cases. Since echocardiography is often used as the first imaging modality in these clinical scenarios, recognizing the characteristics of ALCAPA in a routine echocardiographic examination can transform a readily available, low-cost tool into a valuable discriminative modality.
