Multimodality imaging in patients with HFpEF: an expert consensus document of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging #EACVI #MMI #HFpEF academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging/ad… @ESC_Journals @Cosyns @alessia_gimelli @ThorEdvardsen @VDelgadoGarcia @bogdan_popescu1 @JaeKOh2 
This expert consensus document from the #EACVI provides recommendations regarding how to determine elevated LV filling pressure in the setting of suspected #HFpEF and how to use multimodality imaging to determine specific aetiologies in patients with HFpEF @EACVIPresident
📌Mechanisms of LV diastolic dysfunction include impaired relaxation, attenuated restoring forces, and increased passive elastic stiffness that leads to elevated LV filling pressure
📌The presence of LV hypertrophy and dilated LA provides support for the #HFpEF diagnosis

This is a tough one! This will separate the men from the boys, the women from the girls...are you Luke Skywalker or are you already the Obi-Wan Kenobi of valve disease?!

Mid 70s patient, known ischaemic cardiomyopathy & aortic stenosis.
⬆️⬆️ dyspnoea.
Clinical signs suggest severe AS.
BP 90/50mmHg, HR 60bpm.
This is the resting ECG (hint - showing this for a reason - 😉)

**VALVE CASE OF THE WEEK**
Old case from 2010...but you know what they say...old is gold! 😁
Female, mid 70s, inter-hospital transfer for urgent angiography due to chest tightness with ischaemic ECG. CP came on 12hrs after distressing news of sudden family death. ECG 👇🏽

Exam - loud systolic murmur, so urgent TTE requested before angio. Here is PLAX. Apologies no ECG, cables on portable Vivid-i were broken!

OK, this starts off about valves...but then isn't really about valves...but it's the broader educational point (which is relevant to valves) that I want to make this week...no poll I'm afraid, but as always, comments encouraged! 😁

@BrHeartValveSoc
In my office doing Admin, lot to get through & a very busy morning ahead. Asked to r/v a TTE for helping determine AS severity. Pt admitted with heart failure, clinically severe AS is all I know at this point. Now, the golden rule in this situation is *review the whole study*...
Not just one or two images.
But I was super-busy, I BROKE MY OWN RULE and just looked at the relevant images. Here's the PW and CW Doppler tracings (Pt in AF)...

**VALVE CASE OF THE WEEK**
In our hospital, we have seen 2 patients over the past 3 years that presented with acute heart failure and who had severe AR on echo with large, characteristic masses on the AV. This week's poll is simply... what do you think these masses are? (1)

Patient 1 - Female, early 60s, no major PMHx, admitted with 2 weeks worsening SOB and palpitations. No fever. In heart failure, BP 110mmHg systolic. AR murmur. Normal white cell count & near normal CRP on bloods. TTE below...zoomed PLAX view of AV (2)

I'm on holiday (staycation 😫) so I'll keep it brief! No poll. Experienced scanners will know this, but could hopefully be of use to physiologists and Fellows in training.

Patient having an echo for a different reason (i.e. not murmur) had this AP4Ch view in 2014...
This was reported as "mild MR" and a repeat echo was advised in 2 years...(2)
This was reported as "mild MR" and a repeat echo was advised in 2 years...(2)
So the patient returns in 2016 for an echo...
Again reported as "mild MR" and again follow-up advised in 2 years' time...(3)

32yr old lady with moderate mitral stenosis tells you in clinic she is planning on trying for a baby...is that ok? Denies any symptoms, feels well. Echo - mean MVG 6mmHg. RVSP ~ 20mmHg. What would you say / do / advise?
