Prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM) is present when the effective area of a prosthetic valve
inserted into a patient is inferior to that of a normal human valve; the hemodynamic …

Objectives This study determined whether flow state classified by stroke volume index (SVi)
or transvalvular flow rate (FR) improved risk stratification of all-cause mortality …

Abstract Purpose of Review The endotracheal intubation of patients with pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) in respiratory distress is a highly morbid procedure that can precipitate …

Aims Left ventricular outflow velocity-time integral (LVOT-VTI) has been shown to improve
outcome prediction in different patients' subsets, with or without heart failure (HF) …

Importance Low-flow severe aortic stenosis (AS) has higher mortality than severe AS with
normal flow. The conventional definition of low-flow AS is an indexed stroke volume (SVi) by …

Aims To determine the phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (PC-
CMR) slice-position above aortic leaflet-attachment-plane (LAP) that provides flow-velocity …

Background Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the diagnostic routine standard for
assessing aortic stenosis (AS). However, its inaccuracies in determining stroke volume (SV) …

Background Approximately one-third of patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve
stenosis who are scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have some …

Objectives The authors aimed to compare the assessment of left ventricular (LV) stroke
volume with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using 2-and 3-dimensional (2D and 3D) …

Background Insights into quantitative differences between core laboratory and center‐
reported echocardiographic assessment of the native and bioprosthetic aortic valve are …
