TL;DR: The study will create the cultural, informatic and scientific infrastructure connecting high-volume, accredited SE labs, sharing common criteria of indication, execution, reporting and image storage of SE to obtain original safety, feasibility, and outcome data in evidence-poor diagnostic fields, also outside the established core application of SE in CAD based on regional wall motion abnormalities.

TL;DR: A comprehensive clinical and multimodality imaging evaluation of cardiac tumors is fundamental to obtain a proper differential diagnosis, but histopathology is necessary to reach the final diagnosis and subsequent clinical management.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of clinical cases of pericarditis refractory to conventional treatment was analyzed, where high-dose intravenous human immunoglobulins (IvIgs) were used as a treatment option.

TL;DR: In SE reading, the volume of activity or years of experience is not synonymous with diagnostic quality, and Qualitative analysis and operator-dependence can become a limiting weakness in clinical practice, in the absence of strict pathways of learning, credentialing and audit.

TL;DR: HHC has a high prevalence among patients with "idiopathic" LV dysfunction, and the natural history of patients with HHC is characterized by a rapid response to optimal therapy for heart failure, a favorable cardiovascular outcome, and a relevant incidence of noncardiovascular events.
