    Abstract Background: Cardiac involvement is common in end-stage renal disease patients. The presenting study aimed to evaluate the global and segmental longitudinal strain in patients with advanced uremic cardiomyopathy (AUCM) and compare it to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
    Results: The mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) was significantly lower in AUCM (P value = 0.045). Comparing segmental strain showed a lower strain in mid inferoseptal (P value = 0.048), base and mid anterolateral (P value = 0.026, 0.001 respectively), base and mid anteroseptal (P value = 0.005, 0.009 respectively), base and mid inferior (P value = 0.015, 0.034 respectively) and mid anterior (P value = 0.015) in patients with AUCM compared with DCM. In both groups, the segmental strain increased from base to apex.
    Conclusions: Segmental and GLSs in advanced uremic cardiomyopathy were significantly lower than those of dilated cardiomyopathy. In both groups, the segmental strain increased from base to apex.

    Abstract Background: Echocardiographic estimation of left ventricular filling pressure in heart transplant (HTx) recipients is challenging. The ability of echocardiography to detect elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in HTx patients was assessed in this study.
    Results: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 39 HTx recipients who were candidates for endomyocardial biopsy as a part of their routine post-transplantation surveillance. Doppler transthoracic echocardiography was done before the procedure, and left heart catheterization was done during the endomyocardial biopsy. Thirty-nine patients (15 female, 24 male), with a mean age of 39.6 years (range 13-70), were enrolled. A strong relation was observed between lateral E/e' and LVEDP (R = 0.64, P value < 0.001) and average E/e' and LVEDP (R = 0.6, P value < 0.001). The best cutoff value for LVEDP prediction was the average E/e' ≥ 6.8 with a sensitivity of 96.15% and specificity of 68.5% for the prediction of LVEDP more than or equal to 20 mmHg. Two predictive models comprising age, gender, and lateral E/e' or average E/e' were also proposed. A significant relationship was also found between LVEDP and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (R = - 0.31, P value < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Lateral E/e' was the best predictor of LVEDP. The cutoff of average E/e' had the best validity for the estimation of LVEDP. Despite the strong observed association, echocardiographic parameters cannot be considered a surrogate for invasive LVEDP measurements when seeking information about left ventricle filling pressure on heart transplant recipients.

    Abstract Background: Aortic pseudoaneurysm is an infrequent complication of ascending aorta surgery.
    Cases: This is a report of two cases that underwent the Bentall procedure that presented with large pseudoaneurysms.
    Conclusion: Use of multimodality imaging after Bentall surgery has been advocated for the detection of surgical complications. Although 3D CT angiography has the highest diagnostic accuracy, familiarity with transthoracic echocardiographic finding in these patients will lead to earlier diagnosis.

    Abstract Echinocandins selectively inhibit fungal cell wall synthesis and, therefore, have few side effects. However, there are reports of hemodynamic and cardiac complications. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of caspofungin both on the noninvasive echocardiographic indices of myocardial function and myocardial injury based on serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels. This study was conducted on patients treated for candidemia. The hs-cTnI level and echocardiographic parameters were measured before and 1 h after the infusion of the induction dose of caspofungin. Data were compared between central and peripheral venous drug administration routes. Fifteen patients were enrolled in the study. There were no significant differences in the echocardiographic parameters between the baseline and post-treatment period. The mean hs-cTnI level exhibited a significant rise following drug administration (0.24 ± 0.2 ng/mL vs 0.32 ± 0.3 ng/mL;

    Abstract Background: Trans-septal puncture (TSP) is a safe and effective method to approach left atrium and ventricle. Nowadays, cardiac electrophysiologists perform this procedure routinely to treat left-sided arrhythmias.
    Case report: A 45-year-old man was referred to our center due to Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. After trans-septal puncture, contrast injection into the sheath showed that it was in the left ventricle (LV) rather than left atrium. Trans-esophageal echocardiography confirmed left ventricle outflow tract to right atrial (RA) jet. Follow-up echocardiography showed that the tract was present up to 18 months, but considering that the patient was asymptomatic, endovascular or surgical closure was not done.
    Conclusion: Our case with an 18-month follow-up period, highlights the conservative approach in asymptomatic patients with this complication.

    Abstract Background: Nearly half of the patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) have cardiovascular involvement, a major cause of mortality. COVID-19 infection can lead to cardiac involvement, negatively impacting the clinical course and prognosis. We reported two patients with HES complicated by COVID-19, with cardiac involvement and valve replacement.
    Case presentation: Our first patient was a 27-year-old woman admitted due to dyspnea and signs of heart failure. She had severe mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation on the echocardiogram. Corticosteroid therapy improved her symptoms initially, but she deteriorated following a positive COVID-19 test. A repeated echocardiogram showed right ventricular failure, severe mitral regurgitation, and torrential tricuspid regurgitation and, she underwent mitral and tricuspid valve replacement. Our second patient was a 43-year-old man with HES resulted in severe tricuspid stenosis, which was improved with corticosteroid treatment. He underwent tricuspid valve replacement due to severe valvular regurgitation. He was admitted again following tricuspid prosthetic mechanical valve thrombosis. Initial workups revealed lung involvement in favor of COVID-19 infection, and his PCR test was positive.
    Conclusion: COVID-19 infection can change the clinical course of HES. It may result in a heart failure exacerbation due to myocardial injury and an increased risk of thrombosis in prosthetic valves or native vessels due to hypercoagulability.

    Abstract Background: The only beneficial treatment option for the management of inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus is complete tumor removal. The aim of this study was to report our experience in surgical and clinical outcomes in patients with tumor thrombosis in IVC.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent surgical resection of IVC tumor at our institution over the past 10 years was performed. The patients were identified using a prospectively maintained database.
    Results: We identified 51 patients, the mean age was 53.4 ± 16.8 years, and 25.4% were female. They were divided into three groups based on tumor thrombosis level. Twenty patients (39.2%) required sternotomy, and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was used in 19 (37.2%) patients, and 2 (3.9%) cases underwent coronary artery bypass graft. The perioperative complications were severe bleeding (3 patients), pulmonary embolism (2 patients), and duodenal perforation (1 patient). Three (5.8%) in-hospital deaths occurred, and all were due to severe abdominal bleeding. After a mean follow-up time of 46.5 ± 42.0 months, 29 (56.9%) patients were alive. The mean survival time was 75.2 ± 8.4 months. In multivariate analysis, higher age (
    Conclusions: Tumor thrombus extending to the IVC is a rare and challenging event. Although using CPB may be safe and result in long-term survival with acceptable function, excessive bleeding during surgery may limit the use of this method.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite the consensus on the role of teachers in identity formation of learners, the assessment of the professional behavior of faculty members has not been paid enough attention. Professionalism is best taught in clinical settings through role modeling of teachers. Students can observe the behavior of the physicians, this way, professionalism evaluation in practicing physicians is important. This study endeavored to develop a 360-degree tool for assessing the professional behavior of clinical attending. Methods: This study was conducted in four phases. In the first phase we designed item pool based on a review of literature and experts’ views, in the second phase, content validity and face validity of items were authnticated. In the next phase a pilot study was conducted on 40 people (20 faculty members & 20 assistants). In the versy last phase the reliability of the instrument was calculated on 18 faculty members, 10 head of departments, 16 residents and 17 nurses. Results: Based on validity and reliability assessment, item pool reduced to 18. Seven items were assigned to department heads, 6 items to colleagues, 8 items to assistants, and 5 items to nurses. It was also found that patients were able to evaluate the professional behavior of clinical members in four aspects. Conclusion: A 360 degree instrument containing five sections and 18 items was developed that can examine the professional behavior of faculty of members of school of medicine, taking into account the views of stakeholders including service providers and patients.
