TL;DR: The ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines for the management of patients with supraventricular arrhythmias—executive summary: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines, and the European Society of Cardiologist Committee for Practice Guidelines (Writing Committee to Develop Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Supraventricular Arrhythmias).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the respective role of each technique according to the clinical context in the diagnosis and management of pericardial diseases, and highlight the role of Echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

TL;DR: Right ventricular mechanical dispersion was present in asymptomatic mutation carriers and may be helpful in risk stratification and implying that ARVC is a biventricular disease.

TL;DR: Doppler echocardiography provides reliable assessment of right and left ventricular hemodynamics in patients with decompensated heart failure and guidelines were highly accurate in identifying patients with increased wedge pressure.

TL;DR: The pathophysiological background for current clinical and experimental imaging parameters of diastolic dysfunction is provided, the merits of echocardiography relative to other imaging modalities in diagnosing and grading diastolics dysfunction are discussed, and current areas of research are indicated.
