Journal ArticleDOI
How to diagnose diastolic heart failure: a consensus statement on the diagnosis of heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction by the Heart Failure and Echocardiography Associations of the European Society of Cardiology
Walter Paulus,Carsten Tschöpe,John E. Sanderson,Cesare Rusconi,Frank A. Flachskampf,Frank Rademakers,Paolo Marino,Otto A. Smiseth,Gilles W. De Keulenaer,Adelino F. Leite-Moreira,Attila Borbély,István Édes,Martin Louis Handoko,Stephane Heymans,Natalia Pezzali,Burkert Pieske,Kenneth Dickstein,Alan G. Fraser,Dirk L. Brutsaert +18 more
TL;DR: The updated strategies for the diagnosis and exclusion of HFNEF are useful not only for individual patient management but also for patient recruitment in future clinical trials exploring therapies forHFNEF.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm: a consensus recommendation from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
Burkert Pieske,Carsten Tschöpe,Rudolf A. de Boer,Alan G. Fraser,Stefan D. Anker,Erwan Donal,Frank Edelmann,Michael Fu,Marco Guazzi,Carolyn S.P. Lam,Patrizio Lancellotti,Vojtech Melenovsky,Daniel A.

Seferovic,Gerasimos Filippatos,Gerasimos Filippatos +24 more
TL;DR: A new stepwise diagnostic process, the 'HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm', is recommended, which requires comprehensive echocardiography and requires comprehensive natriuretic peptide levels and is typically performed by a cardiologist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardization of left atrial, right ventricular, and right atrial deformation imaging using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography: a consensus document of the EACVI/ASE/Industry Task Force to standardize deformation imaging.
Luigi P. Badano,Theodore J. Kolias,Denisa Muraru,Theodore P. Abraham,Gerard P. Aurigemma,Thor Edvardsen,Jan D'hooge,Erwan Donal,Alan G. Fraser,Thomas H. Marwick,Thomas H. Marwick,Luc Mertens,Bogdan A. Popescu,Partho P. Sengupta,Patrizio Lancellotti,James D. Thomas,Jens-Uwe Voigt +16 more
TL;DR: This document aims to represent a significant step forward in the collaboration between the scientific societies and the industry since technical specifications of the software packages designed to post-process echocardiographic datasets have been agreed and shared before their actual development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendations for a standardized report for adult transthoracic echocardiography: a report from the American Society of Echocardiography's Nomenclature and Standards Committee and Task Force for a Standardized Echocardiography Report.
Julius M. Gardin,David H. Adams,Pamela S. Douglas,Harvey Feigenbaum,David H. Forst,Alan G. Fraser,Paul A. Grayburn,Alan S. Katz,Andrew M. Keller,Richard E. Kerber,Bijoy K. Khandheria,Allan L. Klein,Roberto M. Lang,Luc Pierard,Miguel A. Quinones,Ingela Schnittger +15 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this report is not to define how to record a proper adult cardiac ultrasound examination or how to perform the measurements but, rather, to serve as a guideline to what measurements and descriptive items should be included in a transthoracic echocardiographic report.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and clinical significance of incidental paraprosthetic valvar regurgitation: a prospective study using transoesophageal echocardiography.
TL;DR: Small paraprosthetic leaks are common, are related to surgical factors, are not associated with increased subclinical haemolysis, and are benign during the first year after heart valve replacement.
