Change in the prognostic utility of regional left ventricular longitudinal strain values in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Background: To evaluate the difference in prognostic utility of echocardiographic parameters between pre- and post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) periods. Methods and Results: This study enrolled 189 patients who underwen...

Role of preoperative echocardiography in 639 pectus excavatum: structural and functional cardiac alterations in a large cohort
Aims Pectus excavatum (PE) can mechanically displace and compress the heart, often altering right ventricular (RV) geometry and function. Comprehensive preoperative echocardiographic characterization in large adult cohorts is limited. Th...

Clinical implications of left anterior fascicular block for cardiac remodeling in hypertensive patients
Background Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) has traditionally been regarded as a benign electrocardiographic finding; however, growing evidence suggests that it may reflect underlying myocardial remodeling. Hypertension is a major d...

Prognostic value of left atrial reservoir strain for major adverse cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with a high burden of long-term adverse cardiovascular events. Traditional risk stratification relies primarily on left ventricular ejection fraction, a measure limited to systolic function; ho...
