The Role of Advanced Imaging in Paediatric Cardiology Key Insights and Applications
Introduction: In paediatric cardiology, the role of advanced imaging techniques such as Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of heart diseases in children. These technologies not only enhance our understanding of myocardial and valvular function but also help clinicians in assessing complex congenital and acquired heart…

Left Ventricular Evaluation in Mitral Regurgitation Why MultiModality Imaging Matters
Introduction Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) isn’t just a structural heart issueit significantly influences the function and remodeling of the left ventricle. A recent study published in the Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine provides critical insights into how different imaging modalities2D echo, 3D echo, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)compare in evaluating left ventricular parameters in…

Unveiling the Role of Echocardiography in Diagnosing Bland Whiteand Garland Syndrome
Introduction:Bland, White, and Garland (BWG) syndrome is a rare but life-threatening congenital coronary anomaly that demands early and accurate diagnosis. Echocardiography has emerged as a crucial non-invasive imaging technique for detecting this condition. This article delves into the latest findings on BWG syndrome and the pivotal role echocardiography plays in its diagnosis. Visit https://www.cardiologymedjournal.com/jccm for…

Cardiac CatheterizationThe Impact of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury
Introduction: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a significant complication following the use of iodinated contrast in cardiac procedures, increasing hospital stay, cost, and mortality rates. As percutaneous coronary interventions rise, understanding the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in predicting CI-AKI is crucial. This study investigates the impact of LVEF on CI-AKI incidence…

Linking Myocardial Fibrosis to Sudden Cardiac Death in HCM
Introduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent cardiac genetic disorder, affecting approximately 0.2% of the general population. It is characterized by myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This systematic review investigates the role of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging as a predictor of…
