Conventional echo parameters fail to adequately capture intrinsic RV function. Novel AI-derived metrics may improve TTVI risk stratification and help guide TTVI strategy (repair vs #TTVR)

RV Contractile Reserve in HFpEF - 3D echo & RHC study

Key points:
latent RV dysfunction may be frequent (49%) and associated with:
- worse rest & exercise hemodynamics
- HFpEF-ABA & NTproBNP
- TR RegVol

... also non-severe TR may matter!

Only 10 days to go before our course in Milan:
-Shifting the Paradigm: Transforming the Approach to Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation with Precision Echocardiography
📅 15–16 May 2026
📍 San Luca Hospital, Milan
We will discuss the most relevant and rapidly evolving topics in STR

[Luigi @lpbadano]

STR is not the “right-sided counterpart” of mitral regurgitation. It requires dedicated parameters, assessment of RV function, and sex-specific cutoffs.
Join us in Milan, 15–16 May 2026, for our course on precision echocardiography in STR. Only a few seats are still available!

In this prospective, observational study of patients undergoing #LVAD implant, using intraop high-fidelity hemodynamics and 3D echocardiography the authors found reduced RV contractility and RV–PA coupling with individual response heterogeneity. @nicoa002

I am happy to announce our next 4D echo course with Prof. Luigi Badano this October in Thessaloniki! Many options to attend onsite and online and the possibility to train in the Echolab on live cases! More details will follow soon @lpbadano @GEHealthCare https://t.co/ljFjkfA8KQ

@ekoikonomou @Drroxmehran @rohan_khera @Yale @cards_lab @YaleIMed @YaleCardiology So well deserved! Congratulations @ekoikonomou 🎉

[Luigi @lpbadano]

Function cannot be understood without geometry. The RV’s shape dictates wall stress, fibre orientation, and mechanical efficiency. By quantifying RV shape, we gain a comprehensive view of RV mechanics as a 3D phenomenon, bridging structural, functional, and clinical dimensions.

Ten more days to secure the last seats at a reduced fee to learn how to assess TR severity, RV and RA remodeling, and stratify the risk in patients with TR from @denisamuraru, @michetomaselli, and @lpbadano at @TwittAuxologico in Milan, Italy

#EHJCVI 📐🔎 Should we assess RV hemisphericity and hemiconicity angle? These 3D shape-based metrics vary by pathology, sex, and age, and carry strong prognostic implications in atrial secondary TR, adding a new layer to RV evaluation 🧭✨Read more 👉 https://t.co/GaZ4ygYB5h
