TL;DR: The focus of this work is on the cardiovascular responses to hypertension rather than the diagnosis of secondary hypertension, and sections address the pathophysiology of the cardiac and vascular responds to hypertension, measurement of LV mass, geometry, and function, as well as effects of treatment.
Abstract: Hypertension remains a major contributor to the global burden of disease. The measurement of blood pressure continues to have pitfalls related to both physiological aspects and acute variation. As the left ventricle (LV) remains one of the main target organs of hypertension, and echocardiographic measures of structure and function carry prognostic information in this setting, the development of a consensus position on the use of echocardiography in this setting is important. Recent developments in the assessment of LV hypertrophy and LV systolic and diastolic function have prompted the preparation of this document. The focus of this work is on the cardiovascular responses to hypertension rather than the diagnosis of secondary hypertension. Sections address the pathophysiology of the cardiac and vascular responses to hypertension, measurement of LV mass, geometry, and function, as well as effects of treatment.

TL;DR: This study shows that MCE, with venous injection of contrast, can define the presence of CAD during rest and pharmacological stress and holds promise for the noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion in humans.
Abstract: Background The purpose of this study was to determine whether myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) can be used to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) during rest and pharmacological stress in humans through the use of venous injections of contrast. Methods and Results Thirty patients with known or suspected CAD underwent MCE and 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) at baseline and after dipyridamole (0.56 mg · kg−1) infusion. Ten myocardial segments (5 each in the apical two- and four-chamber views) from the two sets of images using both methods were scored for myocardial perfusion as follows: 1=normal, 0.5=mildly reduced, and 0=severely reduced. The information from baseline and postdipyridamole images was then used to determine whether an abnormal segment was irreversible (similar abnormal perfusion at baseline and after dipyridamole) or reversible (perfusion better at baseline compared with after dipyridamole). Concordance between segmental scores was 92% (κ=.99) fo...

TL;DR: This document provides updated normal values for all four cardiac chambers, including three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial deformation, when possible, on the basis of considerably larger numbers of normal subjects, compiled from multiple databases.
Abstract: The rapid technological developments of the past decade and the changes in echocardiographic practice brought about by these developments have resulted in the need for updated recommendations to the previously published guidelines for cardiac chamber quantification, which was the goal of the joint writing group assembled by the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. This document provides updated normal values for all four cardiac chambers, including three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial deformation, when possible, on the basis of considerably larger numbers of normal subjects, compiled from multiple databases. In addition, this document attempts to eliminate several minor discrepancies that existed between previously published guidelines.
