Abstract Purpose The aim of the present study was to test the correlation of the exercise lung ultrasound (LUS) and B-lines count with clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters among patients with preserved left ventricle ejection fraction and without signs of congestion reffered for cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) for exertional dyspnea. Methods The study population consisted of 39 patients (age 63.0±9.3 years; 62% females) with preserved ejection fraction (≥50%) and without signs of congestion reffered for exercise testing. Pulmonary disease and coronary artery disease was ruled out. CPET, rest and stress echocardiography and B-lines count assessed by 8 zone LUS were performed. Results Exercise B-lines count was significantly higher than rest B-lines count (3.1±0.5 vs. 1.1±0.2; p<0.001). No correlation was found between B-lines count and peakVO2, workload, NT-proBNP. Among echocardiographic parameters only left atrium diameter correlated weakly (r=0.35; p=0.027) with exercise B-lines count. Difference between rest and exercise B-lines count correlated weakly with VE/VCO2 (r=0.41; p=0.015). Characteristics of study population <3 B-lines (n=22) ≥3 B-lines (n=17) p Age (years) 62.2±6.2 64.1±12.1 NS Females (n; %) 16 (72.7%) 8 (47.1%) NS DM (n; %) 3 (14%) 1 (6%) NS Arterial hypertension (n; %) 15 (68%) 14 (82%) NS BMI (kg/m2) 29.4±5.7 31.3±3.3 NS NYHA class 1.9±0.5 2.0±0.4 NS HFpEF (n; %) 8 (57.1%) 8 (42.1%) NS NT-proBNP (pg/ml) 240.0±472.8 275.4±323.1 NS E/e' 9.8±2.7 10.4±2.2 NS Left atrial diameter (mm) 36.4±4.7 39.4±4.6 p=0.039 LVEF (%) 62.9±5.6 60.6±4.7 NS PeakVO2 (ml/kg/min) 20.2±5.7 19.5±3.6 NS VE/VCO2 32.3±5.7 35.9±6.2 NS WR (W/kg) 1.7±0.5 1.5±0.3 NS DM = diabetes mellitus; LVEF = left ventricle ejection fraction; WR = workload. Rest and peak exercise B-lines count Conclusion We observed weak but significant correlation between exercise B-lines count and left atrium diameter. However we didn't observe significant difference between HFpEF patients and rest of study population in B-lines count. Limitation of our observation is small study population.

Objective. Studying possibilities of the triangular plasty of left atrium procedure, performed while prosthesis of a mitral valve. Materials and metods. Into the main group 137 patients, suffering isolated mitral failure, complicated by left atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium ≥ 6.0 cм), to whom surgical treatment was performed in Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery from 01.10.2010 to 01.01.2019 yr, were included. In all the patients a prosthesis of a mitral valve, preserving native structures of a mitral valve with reduction of the left atrium cavity, using procedure of the left atrium triangular plasty, was performed. Into a control group were included 57 patients, in whom a mitral valve correction without a left atrium reduction was performed only for a mitral valve failure and a left-sided atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium was ≥ 6.0 cm). Results. Of 137 patients of the main group on the hospital stage 3 (2.2%) have died. Dynamics of echocardiographic indices of the left atrium diameter on different stages was following: (65.5 ± 3.8) mm preoperatively, (51.5 ± 2.1) mm postoperatively, (52.5 ± 2.2) mm in a remote follow-up period, in a remote follow-up period in (5.1 ± 0.4) years at average, thromboembolic complications (the transient disorders of the brain blood circulation) were noted in (1.6%) of 125 patients. Of 57 patients of a control group on the hospital stage 2 (3.5%) have died. Dynamics of echocardiographic indices, concerning diameter of the left atrium on various stages was following: (66.7 ± 2.7) mm preoperatively, (63.5 ± 2.3) mm postoperatively, (71.5 ± 2.4) mm in the remote follow-up period. In the remote follow-up period in (7.1 ± 0.4) years, thromboembolic complications were noted in 7 (14.6%) of 48 patients. Conclusion. The procedure of triangular plasty of left atrium constitutes an obligatory stage while performing correction of a mitral failure in presence of a left-sided atriomegaly (diameter of left atrium ≥ 6.0 cm). The procedure is miniinvasive and effective, leads to significant improvement of the left atrium morphometry and is accompanied by low risk of the complications occurrence and hospital mortality. The data accumulated and estimation of remote results of the procedure permits her to occupy a significant place among other methods of atrioplasty.

Abstract Introduction Cardiomyopaties like Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA), are an important cause of Heart Failure (HF). They can cause endocardial or transmural involvement. It is possible to characterize the kind of affectation thanks to different phenotypes identified by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography. Purpose: To study the pattern of myocardial involvement in patients (p) affected by CA and HF. Methods: Comparative study of 30 p with CA and HF, in NYHA class ≥II/IV, of which 16 had preseved left ventricle ejection fraction (pLVEF) and 14 had reduced LVEF (rLVEF), considering as cut point a LVEF &gt; 50%. There was a control group (CG) of 16 healthy subjects. Twist, radial strain (RS), circunferential strain (CS) and longitudinal strain (LS) were determined using 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography, along with mitral annulus plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and basal-apex distance (B-A). The following indexes were calculated: Twist (apical rotation + basal rotation, °); Torsion (twist/B-A, °/cm); Torsion Index (TorI: twist/MAPSE, °/cm), and Deformation Index (DefI:twist/LS,°). The last indexes are dynamic parameters that allow for a more realistic assessment of LV torsion, since they include longitudinal shortening measures such as MAPSE and LS, describing in a more complete and physiological way the global LV systolic movement. Results There were differences of age between the three gropus, being older the p with rLVEF and younger the ones in the CG (63,7 ± 2,8; 68,2 ± 11,5; y 73,9 ± 12,9 years respectively). LS and CS were lower in rLVEF group when compared with pLVEF group, as well as in pLVEF group compared with the CG. The p with pLVEF showed increased values of the dynamic torsion parameters (DefI and TorI), indicating a compensatory increase of LV twist that disappears in p with rLVEF. Twist and Torsion are significantly lower only in the rLVEF group (see table). Conclusions In both CA groups, LS and CS deterioration indicates endocardial and transmural involvement. The loss of compensation given by the increased LV twist, reflected by DefI and TorI, marks the transition to the deterioration of LVEF. Results Table LVEF (%) LS (%) CS (%) TWIST (°) Torsion (°/cm) TorI (°/cm) DefI (°/%) Control Group (n = 15) 68.2 ± 6.3 -20.6 ± 2.5 -22.7 ± 4.9 21.7 ± 6.1 2.7± 0.8 16.4 ± 4.7 -1.0 ± 0.3 CA pLVEF (n = 16) 60,6 ± 5.4* -11.7 ± 4.2* -17.2 ± 4.8* 19.8 ± 8.3 2.5± 1.1 27.7 ±13.5* -1.8 ± 0.9* CA rLVEF (n = 14) 37.2 ± 8.8** -8.7 ± 3.2** -13.0 ± 3.4** 8.3 ± 5.6** 1.0 ± 1.7** 13.4 ± 9.6** -1.0 ± 0.7** *:p value &lt;0,01 between CG and pLVEF group; **:p value &lt;0,01 between pLVEF and rLVEF

Introduction: Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a disease with a difficult diagnosis. The real mechanisms related to its pathophysiology are not fully understood. Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate whether miR-133b and miR-138 could be associated with ACM. Method: Forty-four patients were included comprising 24 with ACM and 20 with cardiomyopathies of different etiologies (control group). Real-time PCR was performed to verify the relative expression among the studied groups. In the statistical analysis, the quantitative variables t-student Mann- Whitney and correlation of Pearson tests were carried out, while the qualitative variable comprised the chi-square test, with p<0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results: There was no association between clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of the groups. The patients with ACM presented downregulation of miR-133b in comparison with control patients (p=0.004). On the other hand, for the miR-138, there was no association when the ACM group was compared with the control group. The presence of miR-133b among cases and controls was not correlated with any of the echocardiographic parameters. However, the increase in the expression of miR-138 was correlated with an increase in the ejection fraction (r=0.28, p=0.01) and the diameter of the left atrium (r=0.23, p=0.04) in patients with ACM. Conclusion: The downregulation of miR-133b might be a marker for ACM and, in addition, miR- 138 could be used to correlate the increase in ejection fraction with and normalization of the diameter of the left atrium diameter in patients with this disease.

AbstractLow-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG AS) with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) is still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this paper is to review the latest evidences about the assessment of the valvular disease, usually difficult because of the low-flow status, and the therapeutic options. Special emphasis is given to the available diagnostic tools for the characterization of LFLG AS without functional reserve at stress echocardiography and to the factors that clinicians should evaluate to choose between surgical aortic valve repair, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, or medical therapy.
