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
Protein-losing enteropathy after the Fontan operation: An international multicenter study
TL;DR: The current treatment of protein-losing enteropathy after Fontan operation is associated with a very high mortality and morbidity rate and preventive strategies and new therapeutic approaches are necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Practice Guidelines and Recommendations for Training Writing group of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) in collaboration with the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE) and the Association for European Pediatric Cardiologists (AEPC)

Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging the right ventricle—current state of the art
Luc Mertens,Mark K. Friedberg +1 more
TL;DR: Developments in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography have provided new insights into right ventricular (RV) structure and function, but further validation and accumulation of data are required before these techniques can play a key part in clinical decision-making.
