Item Left atrial deformations: So clinically relevant(2022) Donal, Erwan; Sade, L. Elif; Kosmala, Wojciech; 35662559Item Approach To Optimal Assessment Of Right Ventricular Remodelling In Heart Transplant Recipients: Insights From Myocardial Work Index, T1 Mapping, And Endomyocardial Biopsy(2023) Colak, Ayse; Duzgun, Selin Ardali; Hazirolan, Tuncay; Sezgin, Atilla; Donal, Erwan; Butcher, Steele C.; Ozdemir, Handan; Pirat, Bahar; Eroglu, Serpil; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; Sade, Leyla Elif; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7528-3557; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3737-8595; 35666833; X-8540-2019; AAQ-7583-2021Aims Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important cause of graft failure after heart transplantation (HTx). We sought to investigate relative merits of echocardiographic tools and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with T1 mapping for the assessment of functional adaptation and remodelling of the RV in HTx recipients. Methods and results Sixty-one complete data set of echocardiography, CMR, right heart catheterization, and biopsy were obtained. Myocardial work index (MWI) was quantified by integrating longitudinal strain (LS) with invasively measured pulmonary artery pressure. CMR derived RV volumes, T1 time, and extracellular volume (ECV) were quantified. Endomyocardial biopsy findings were used as the reference standard for myocardial microstructural changes. In HTx recipients who never had a previous allograft rejection, longitudinal function parameters were lower than healthy organ donors, while ejection fraction (EF) (52.0 +/- 8.7%) and MWI (403.2 +/- 77.2 mmHg%) were preserved. Rejection was characterized by significantly reduced LS, MWI, longer T1 time, and increased ECV that improved after recovery, whereas RV volumes and EF did not change MWI was the strongest determinant of rejection related myocardial damage (area under curve: 0.812, P < 0.0001, 95% CI: 0.69-0.94) with good specificity (77%), albeit modest sensitivity. In contrast, T1 time and ECV were sensitive (84%, both) but not specific to detect subclinical RV damage. Conclusion Subclinical adaptive RV remodelling is characterized by preserved RV EF despite longitudinal function abnormalities, except for MWI. While ultrastructural damage is reflected by MWI, ECV, and T1 time, only MWI has the capability to discriminate functional adaptation from transition to subclinical structural damage.Item How To Assess Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation By Echocardiography?(2022) Sade, L. Elif; Muraru, Denisa; Marsan, Nina Ajmone; Agricola, Eustachio; Stankovic, Ivan; Donal, Erwan; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3737-8595; 35136997; AAQ-7583-2021Item Left Atrial Function: The Hba1c For The Cardiologist And Even More COMMENT(2022) Donal, Erwan; Sade, L.

Andersen et al., published in this issue on pages xxx.Item The structural heart disease interventional imager rationale, skills and training: a position paper of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging(2021) Agricola, Eustachio; Ancona, Francesco; Brochet, Eric; Donal, Erwan; Dweck, Marc; Faletra, Francesco; Lancellotti, Patrizio; Mahmoud Elsayed, Hani; Marsan, Nina Ajmone; Maurovich Hovart, Pal; Monaghan, Mark; Ribeiro, Jose; Sade, Leyla Elif; Swaans, Martin; Von Bardeleben, Ralph Stephan; Wunderlich, Nina; Zamorano, Jose-Luis; Popescu, Bogdan A.; Cosyns, Bernard; Edvardsen, Thor; 0000-0003-3737-8595; 33564848; AAQ-7583-2021Percutaneous therapeutic options for an increasing variety of structural heart diseases (SHD) have grown dramatically. Within this context of continuous expansion of devices and procedures, there has been increased demand for physicians with specific knowledge, skills, and advanced training in multimodality cardiac imaging. As a consequence, a new subspecialty of 'Interventional Imaging' for SHD interventions and a new dedicated professional figure, the 'Interventional Imager' with specific competencies has emerged. The interventional imager is an integral part of the heart team and plays a central role in decision-making throughout the patient pathway, including the appropriateness and feasibility of a procedure, pre-procedural planning, intra-procedural guidance, and post-procedural follow-up. However, inherent challenges exist to develop a training programme for SHD imaging that differs from traditional cardiovascular imaging pathways. The purpose of this document is to provide the standard requirements for the training in SHD imaging, as well as a starting point for an official certification process for SHD interventional imager.Item Mitral regurgitation: not a single disease with systematic and identic functional and haemodynamic consequences(2021) Donal, Erwan; Coisne, Augustin; Sade, Leyla Elif; 34260711Item Importance of Systematic Right Ventricular Assessment in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Candidates: A Machine Learning Approach(2021) Galli, Elena; Le Rolle, Virginie; Smiseth, Otto A.; Duchenne, Jurgen; Aalen, John M.; Larsen, Camilla K.; Sade, Elif A.; Hubert, Arnaud; Anilkumar, Smitha; Penicka, Martin; Linde, Cecilia; Leclercq, Christophe; Hernandez, Alfredo; Voigt, Jens-Uwe; Donal, Erwan; 33422667Background: Despite all having systolic heart failure and broad QRS intervals, patients screened for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are highly heterogeneous, and it remains extremely challenging to predict the impact of CRT devices on left ventricular function and outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative impact of clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data on the left ventricular remodeling and prognosis of CRT candidates by the application of machine learning approaches. Methods: One hundred ninety-three patients with systolic heart failure receiving CRT according to current recommendations were prospectively included in this multicenter study. A combination of the Boruta algorithm and random forest methods was used to identify features predicting both CRT volumetric response and prognosis. Model performance was tested using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The k-medoid method was also applied to identify clusters of phenotypically similar patients. Results: From 28 clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic variables, 16 features were predictive of CRT response, and 11 features were predictive of prognosis. Among the predictors of CRT response, eight variables (50%) pertained to right ventricular size or function. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was the main feature associated with prognosis. The selected features were associated with particularly good prediction of both CRT response (area under the curve, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.74-0.87) and outcomes (area under the curve, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.93). An unsupervised machine learning approach allowed the identification of two phenogroups of patients who differed significantly in clinical variables and parameters of biventricular size and right ventricular function. The two phenogroups had significantly different prognosis (hazard ratio, 4.70; 95% CI, 2.1-10.0; P < .0001; log-rank P < .0001). Conclusions: Machine learning can reliably identify clinical and echocardiographic features associated with CRT response and prognosis. The evaluation of both right ventricular size and functional parameters has pivotal importance for the risk stratification of CRT candidates and should be systematically performed in patients undergoing CRT. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2021;34:494-502.)Item Left atrial strain is a predictor of left ventricular systolic and diastolic reverse remodelling in CRT candidates(2021) Galli, Elena; Oger, Emmanuel; Aalen, John M.; Duchenne, Jurgen; Larsen, Camilla K.; Sade, Elif; Hubert, Arnaud; Gallard, Aban; Penicka, Martin; Linde, Cecilia; Le Rolle, Virginie; Hernandez, Alfredo; Leclercq, Christophe; Voig, Jens-Uwe; Smiseth, Otto A.; Donal, Erwan; 34432006Aims The left atrium (LA) has a pivotal role in cardiac performance and LA deformation is a well-known prognostic predictor in several clinical conditions including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on both LA morphology and function and to assess the impact of LA reservoir strain (LARS) on left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic remodelling after CRT. Methods and results Two hundred and twenty-one CRT-candidates were prospectively included in the study in four tertiary centres and underwent echocardiography before CRT-implantation and at 6-month follow-up (FU). CRT-response was defined by a 15% reduction in LV end-systolic volume. LV systolic and diastolic remodelling were defined as the percent reduction in LV end-systolic and end-diastolic volume at FU. Indexed LA volume (LAVI) and LV-global longitudinal (GLS) strain were the main parameters correlated with LARS, with LV-GLS being the strongest determinant of LARS (r = -0.59, P < 0.0001). CRT induced a significant improvement in LAVI and LARS in responders (both P < 0.0001). LARS was an independent predictor of both LV systolic and diastolic remodelling at follow-up (r = -0.14, P = 0.049 and r = -0.17, P = 0.002, respectively). Conclusion CRT induces a significant improvement in LAVI and LARS in responders. In CRT candidates, the evaluation of LARS before CRT delivery is an independent predictor of LV systolic and diastolic remodelling at FU.Item Echocardiographic findings on aortic stenosis: an observational, prospective, and multi-center registry(2020) Anwer, Shehab; Oguz, Didem; Galian-Gay, Laura; Mitevska, Irena Peovska; Baghdassarian, Lilit; Dulgheru, Raluca; Lapinskas, Tomas; Santoro, Ciro; Loizos, Savvas; Cameli, Matteo; Srbinovska, Elizabeta; Grapsa, Julia; Magne, Julien; Donal, Erwan; 32650695Background: The aim of this aortic stenosis registry was to investigate the changes of routine echocardiographic indices and strain in patients with moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis over a 6-month follow-up period. Methods: Our aortic stenosis registry is observational, prospective, multicenter registry of nine countries, with 197 patients with aortic valve area less than 1.5 cm(2). The enrolment took place from January to August 2017. We excluded patients with uncontrolled atrial arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension or cardiomyopathies, as well as those with hemodynamically significant valvular disease other than aortic stenosis. We included patients who did not require intervention and who had a complete follow-up study. Results: In patients with preserved ejection fraction, left ventricular mass has significantly increased between baseline and follow-up studies (218 +/- 34 grams vs 253 +/- 29 grams, p = 0.02). However, when indexed to body surface area, there was no significant difference. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain significantly decreased (-19.7 +/- -4.8 vs (-16.4 vs -3.8, p = 0.01). Left atrial volume was significantly higher at follow-up (p = 0.035). Right ventricular basal diameter and mid-cavity diameter were greater at the follow-up (p = 0.04 and p = 0.035, respectively). Patients with low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis had significantly lower global longitudinal strain (-12.3% +/- -3.9% vs -19.7% +/- -4.8%, p = 0.01). Conclusion: Left atrial dilatation is one of the first changes to take place in low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis patients even when left ventricular dimensions and function remains intact. Global longitudinal strain is an important determinant of left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction and right ventricular function is an important parameter of aortic stenosis assessment. Accordingly, our registry has further shed the light on these indices role as multisite follow-up of aortic stenosis.Item Global evaluation of echocardiography in patients with COVID-19(2020) Dweck, Marc R.; Bularga, Anda; Hahn, Rebecca T.; Bing, Rong; Lee, Kuan Ken; Chapman, Andrew R.; White, Audrey; Di Salvo, Giovanni; Sade, Leyla Elif; Pearce, Keith; Newby, David E.; Popescu, Bogdan A.; Donal, Erwan; Cosyns, Bernard; Edvardsen, Thor; Mills, Nicholas L.; Haugaa, Kristina; 32556199Aims To describe the cardiac abnormalities in patients with COVID-19 and identify the characteristics of patients who would benefit most from echocardiography. Methods and results In a prospective international survey, we captured echocardiography findings in patients with presumed or confirmed COVID-19 between 3 and 20 April 2020. Patient characteristics, indications, findings, and impact of echocardiography on management were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of echocardiographic abnormalities. A total of 1216 patients [62 (52-71) years, 70% male] from 69 countries across six continents were included. Overall, 667 (55%) patients had an abnormal echocardiogram. Left and right ventricular abnormalities were reported in 479 (39%) and 397 (33%) patients, respectively, with evidence of new myocardial infarction in 36 (3%), myocarditis in 35 (3%), and takotsubo cardiomyopathy in 19 (2%). Severe cardiac disease (severe ventricular dysfunction or tamponade) was observed in 182 (15%) patients. In those without pre-existing cardiac disease (n = 901), the echocardiogram was abnormal in 46%, and 13% had severe disease. Independent predictors of left and right ventricular abnormalities were distinct, including elevated natriuretic peptides [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.75-5.05) and cardiac troponin (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.13-2.53) for the former, and severity of COVID-19 symptoms (OR 3.19, 95% CI 1.73-6.10) for the latter. Echocardiography changed management in 33% of patients. Conclusion In this global survey, cardiac abnormalities were observed in half of all COVID-19 patients undergoing echocardiography. Abnormalities were often unheralded or severe, and imaging changed management in one-third of patients.
