This case illustrates the evolution of right ventricular (RV) 3-dimensional (3D) area strain during pregnancy in a patient with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot. The report highlights impairment in RV function with pregnancy, suggesting the importance of prepregnancy RV systolic function assessment, especially using 3D echocardiography.

BackgroundOutcomes in pulmonary hypertension (PH) are related to right ventricular (RV) function andremodeling. We hypothesized that changes in RV function, especially area strain (AS), couldprovide incremental prognostic data.PurposeTo assess global and regional 3D RV function changes between baseline and 6-months visit andevaluate their...

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common life-threatening disease, with mortality related to right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Aims: To investigate the value of 3D global and regional right ventricular strain in patients with acute PE and at 1 month, as compared to a control population.Methods and Results: We conducted a longitudinal...

Background : Outcomes in pulmonary hypertension (PH) are related to right ventricular (RV) function and remodeling. We hypothesized that changes in RV function and especially area strain (AS) could provide incremental prognostic information compared to the use of baseline data only. We therefore aimed to assess RV function changes between...

Background Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (PersAF) electrogram-based ablation is complex, and appropriate identification of atrial substrate is critical. Little is known regarding the value of the Average Complex Interval (ACI) feature for PersAF ablation. Objective Using the evolution of AF complexity by sequentially computing AF dominant...

Background. Fibrillatory Wave Amplitude (FWA) has been described as a non-invasive marker of atrial fibrillation (AF) complexity, and it predicts catheter ablation outcome. However, the actual determinants of FWA remain incompletely understood.Objective. To assess the respective implications of anatomical atrial substrate and AF spectral...

Background: Right ventricular (RV) function assessment is crucial in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, especially in atrial septal defect (ASD) and repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients with pulmonary regurgitation (PR). In this study, we aimed to analyse both 3D RV shape and deformation to better characterize RV function in ASD...

Background: Survival in pulmonary hypertension (PH) relates to right ventricular (RV) function. However, the RV unique anatomy and structure limit 2D analysis and its regional 3D function has not been studied yet. The aim of this study was to assess the implications of global and regional 3D RV deformation on clinical condition and survival in...
