- Abstract
Background: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is challenging in diagnosis and treatment. Echocardiographic characteristics of consctrictio has been studied, however little is known about the reversibility of the characteristics during short and long term follow-up after surgical pericardiectomy. Method and Results: A retrospective review found 46 patients (56.5 ± 14.9 yrs) with the diagnosis of CP confirmed by echocardiography and right-sided heart catherization. Echocardiographic exams were available at time of diagnosis and in 22 patients at short and long term follow-up. Most prevalent etiology was rheumatic/inflammatory disease. At time of diagnosis the most significant features were: dilated inferior vena cava (IVC) in 100% (mean 25 ± 4mm), diastolic retrograde liver vein flow (rLVF) in 90%, abnormal presenting pericardium in 98%, septal bounce (SB) in 98%, high for age diastolic septal tissue doppler velocity (septal e') of 13.2 ± 3.9cm/s with a ratio of septal to medial e' of 1.01 ± 0.33. Mitral inflow deceleration time MvDT was general low with a mean of 135 ± 31 msec (range 90-230), but in 29% of patients the MvDT was normal (>140msec) and abnormal respiratory mitral inflow variation (resp. Mvvar) (>25%) was only present in 53%. Early after pericardiectomy (mean 8.8 ± 8 days) the only echocardiographic parameters that was significantly changed was: increased MvDT (22.1 ± 30.7msec, p=0.003), decreased septal e' (3.9 ± 2.8 cm/sec, p=0.006), reduced proportion of patients with abnormal resp. Mvvar (53% vs. 6%,p=0.003). All other of the above mentioned characteristics of CP remained unchanged. At late follow-up (mean 32 ± 27 months) many of the echocardiographic CP characteristics was changed towards normal: decreased IVC diameter (-4.3 ± 4.9mm, p=0.016) but still dilated in 82%, increased MvDT (35.9 ± 47.3 ms, p=0.007), decreased septal e' (-7.0 ± 3.6cm/s, p=0.0004) and decreased lateral e' (-4.5 ± 4.1, p=0.004) with a concomitant normalization of the ratio of septal to lateral e' to 1.44 ± 0.21. The proportion of patients with abnormal resp. Mvvar was reduced to zero and the presence of SB was significantly reduced from 98% to 70% (p=0.009), the rLVF was unchanged present in 44% (NS) as well as the presence of abnormal pericardium in 95%(NS). Conclusions. Specific echocardiographic parameters can be pointed out as characteristic at the time of CP diagnosis like: dilated IVC, SB, rLVF, high septal e' with an abnormal ratio of septal to lateral e'. Many parameters return towards normal at late follow-up but SB and dilated IVC, rLVF as well as an abnormal presenting pericardium remains abnormal in a high proportion of patients.

- Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the reproducibility of vena contracta (VC) in mitral regurgitation (MR) of different etiology between an inexperienced and an experienced echocardiographer. Background: MR is the second most common valvular heart disease in Europe that requires surgery. Echocardiography is the principal modality of investigation when MR is suspected. In European and American guidelines VC is described as one of the most feasible echocardiographic measurements in the assessment of MR. There is a lack of publications regarding intra-observer variability and studies comparing inexperienced and experienced echocardiographers for the assessment of VC. Method/Material: VC of 55 recorded 2D echocardiograms with known MR of different degree and etiology were analyzed from parasternal long axis view, 4- and 3 chamber view. The mean value of the different plane measurements of each exam was used for statistical analysis. Analyses were made by an inexperienced (A) fellow echocardiographer (<100 studies) and a level 3 experienced (B) echocardiographer. Measurements of VC by the 2 echocardiographers were performed blinded to clinical data. Measurements were performed with at least 2 weeks apart, blinded to the first measurement. Results: Three exams were excluded (feasibility 95%) from statistical analysis because adequate color Doppler images from all tree planes was not available. The inter class correlation (ICC) between the first and second analysis was (r=0.75; 95% CI -1.1 to 1.7mm) for A and (r=0.94; 95% CI -0.76 to 0.84mm) for B. There was good ICC between the 2 echocardiographers (r=0.78; 95% CI -1.5 to 1.3mm). The intra observer variability was 11.1% for A and 6.1% for B. The inter observer variability was 11.7% (p>0.05 for all). Conclusion: Measurement of vena contracta in mitral regurgitation is a feasible semi-quantitative parameter. Good correlation and narrow limits of agreement between a novice and an experienced echocardiographer was demonstrated in our study.

- Abstract
Background: The left atrial septal pouch (LASP) is formed by the caudal fusion of the area of overlap of the septum primum and the septum secundum, leaving an opening toward the left atrium. The association between LASP and stroke has not been validated by the previous studies., Methods: The prevalence of the LASP was determined in 223 ischemic stroke patients and 223 control subjects with other cardiac pathologies, in a monocentric retrospective case-control study design. Stroke subtypes were defined according to the modified TOAST criteria., Results: The mean age was 66 ± 15, 54% males, with a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. The prevalence of the LASP was 81 (18%), irrespective of age or pathology. The number of LASP was similar in the stroke and control groups (18% vs. 19%, P = 0.7), as well as in the cryptogenic stroke subgroup (16%, P = 0.6). LASP was not associated with ischemic stroke on univariate (OR = 1.095; 95% CI = 0.676-1.772; P = 0.7) and multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR = 1.004; 95%CI = 0.574-1.758, P = 0.98). There was no statistical association between LASP and cryptogenic stroke on univariate (OR = 1.26; 95%CI = 0.526-3.016; P = 0.6) or multivariate analysis (OR = 0.705; 95%CI = 0.193-2.577, P = 0.6). The association of LASP to AF, left ventricular dysfunction, and thrombophilia did not lead to a higher incidence of stroke (OR = 0.99; 95%CI = 0.37-2.66; P = 0.99)., Conclusion: Our study did not show any association between LASP and ischemic stroke. A septal pouch was present in 18% of the population. Other associated risk factors need to be considered to incriminate the septal pouch as the etiology of a stroke., (© 2016, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Background: The methods used to characterize the volume change and the deformation of the left atrium are highly dependent on technical factors and difficult to use in a clinical environment. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that mitral annular displacement by speckle tracking can be an alternative method to studying the longitudinal left atrial function., Methods: Ninety study participants (54% men), with a mean age of 53(±15) years, underwent a complete echocardiographic examination, comprising two-dimensional, three-dimensional and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). They were divided into normal individuals (35) and patients having an abnormal echocardiography (55)., Results: There was a very strong correlation between three-dimensional volumetric function and mitral annular displacement, both for the reservoir (r = 0.78; P < 0.0001) and contractile (r = 0.76; P < 0.0001) functions. The correlation with the longitudinal strain displayed an r = 0.87, P > 0.0001 for the reservoir and r = 0.81, P < 0.0001 for the contractile function. The systolic speed in pulsed TDI and the systolic displacement had an r = 0.83, P < 0.0001. Mitral annular displacement was a very good discriminator for normal versus abnormal participants [area under the curve (AUC) for reservoir = 0.872 and for contractile = 0.843; P < 0.0001], performing less well than three-dimensional (AUC reservoir = 0.892 and contractile = 0.915; P < 0.0001) or deformation (AUC = 0.921 and 0.903 respectively; P < 0.0001), but better than pulsed TDI (AUC = 0.807; P < 0.0001). The percentage error was ±15% for interobserver and ±12% for intraobserver variability. The time taken for displacement analysis was 9 ± 3 s for an experienced cardiologist and 12 ± 4 s for a beginner., Conclusion: Mitral annular displacement by speckle tracking is a reliable and fast method to evaluate left atrial function. Given the strength of the correlations with strain parameters, it could be used as a surrogate measure of the deformation of left atrium.
