TL;DR: In this article, left atrial appendage (LAA) ligation in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement is associated with the risk of future embolisms, and when the identification of an incomplete ligation was considered together with the absence of LAA ligation, risk of embolism increased up to 11.9 × (OR 11.5 to 93.6).

TL;DR: The results suggest that ADRCs may preserve ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, and exercise capacity in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and transendocardial injections were safe and feasible.

TL;DR: Clinical Doppler studies showed that the proposed echocardiographic method based on the continuity equation is fast, clinically-compliant and does not require complex training and will potentially enable investigators to study of additional quantitative aspects of intraventricular flow dynamics in the clinical setting by high-throughput processing conventional color-Doppler images.

TL;DR: SMVT substrate can be identified by ceMRI scar heterogeneity analysis, and this information could help identify patients at risk of VT and facilitate VT ablation.

TL;DR: TEE is a fundamental technique when considering the percutaneous treatment of paravalvular leaks in patients with high surgical risk and provides essential information on the characteristics of the dehiscence during implantation and follow-up.
