Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function after Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in aortic stenosis patients by echocardiographic according to different guidelines.

TL;DR: The conventional 2D echocardiography could effectively reflect variation process of LVDF in AS patients after TAVI and for LVDD classification, obvious differences resulted by the 2009 and updated recommendations were found, and more patients can be regarded as benefiting from T AVI by 2016.

Utility of Functional and Volumetric Left Atrial Parameters Derived From Preprocedural Cardiac CTA in Predicting Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the utility of functional and volumetric parameters derived from cardiac CTA to predict mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing TAVR.

Recommendations for evaluation of the severity of native valvular regurgitation with two-dimensional and doppler echocardiography

TL;DR: A report from the American Society of Echocardiography’s Nomenclature and Standards Committee and The Task Force on Valvular Regurgitation developed in conjunction with the American College of Cardiology EchOCardiography Committee.

Recommendations for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography

TL;DR: The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and filling pressures is of paramount clinical importance to distinguish this syndrome from other diseases such as pulmonary disease resulting in dyspnea, to assess prognosis, and to identify underlying cardiac disease and its best treatment.

Doppler Tissue Imaging: A Noninvasive Technique for Evaluation of Left Ventricular Relaxation and Estimation of Filling Pressures

TL;DR: Mitral E velocity, corrected for the influence of relaxation (i.e., the E/Ea ratio), relates well to mean PCWP and may be used to estimate LV filling pressures.
