    Abstract Purpose of review: Sex is an important determinant of cardiac structure and function. We review key sex differences in universal echocardiographic parameters and discuss the clinical implications of using sex-specific algorithms to increase the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography and improve the timely treatment of common cardiovascular disorders, and the unique role of echocardiography in pregnancy and the evaluation of ischemic heart disease.
    Recent findings: Emerging echocardiographic findings have begun to define important sex-based differences in chamber size and ventricular function. We advocate for additional research and the consideration of sex-specific algorithms in future expert consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of valvular heart disease, heart failure, and thoracic aortic disease. Echocardiography is an essential diagnostic tool in our armamentarium of imaging modalities for the sex-specific diagnosis and guidance of treatment for a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disorders.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the United States. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is more common in pregnant women than in non-pregnant controls and contributes to the burden of maternal mortality. This review highlights numerous etiologies of chest discomfort during pregnancy, as well as risk factors and causes of ACS during pregnancy. It focuses on the evaluation and management of ACS during pregnancy and the post-partum period, including considerations when deciding between invasive and non-invasive ischemic evaluations. It also focuses specifically on the management of post-myocardial infarction complications, including shock, and outlines the role of mechanical circulatory support, including veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Finally, it offers additional recommendations for navigating delivery in women who experienced pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction and considerations for the post-partum patient who develops ACS.

    Abstract Stress cardiomyopathy develops after abrupt sympathetic stimulation, likely from catecholamine-induced myocardial toxicity. The evolution of myocardial strain during and after an episode have not been previously characterized. We aimed to determine whether preexisting contractile abnormalities may explain the observed regional dysfunction during an acute episode and to investigate the persistence of strain abnormalities after clinical recovery. We identified patients who were diagnosed with stress cardiomyopathy and had an echocardiogram performed before their episode, during their episode, and within 1 year after. The diagnosis was confirmed based on the absence of obstructive coronary lesions. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain was calculated using speckle-tracking software and compared between baseline, episode, and follow-up echocardiograms. The LV strain analysis was performed on 23 patients. The LV ejection fraction was 64 ± 8.7% at baseline, 45 ± 12% during the episode, and 5 9 ± 10% after a median follow-up of 46 days. The LV global longitudinal strain was 24 ± 4.7% at baseline, 11 ± 4.9% during the episode, and 19 ± 4.6% after the follow-up. The mean ejection fraction (p <0.01) and global longitudinal strain (p <0.001) remained below baseline levels at follow-up. Longitudinal strain was reduced (<18%) in 80 ± 23% of myocardial segments during an episode and 41 ± 21% of myocardial segments at follow-up. During the acute episode, 35 ± 6% of the abnormal segments were in the base, outside of the region of ballooning. Our findings suggests that stress cardiomyopathy is associated with global rather than regional myocardial injury and that contractile abnormalities persist after clinical improvement. These findings challenge our previous understanding of stress cardiomyopathy and may guide future pathophysiologic understanding of this complex disease.

    Abstract Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a condition of transient cardiac dysfunction that develops in the setting of abrupt sympathetic stimulation. Although classically identified by ballooning of the apical segment, TS can also present in atypical forms with abnormalities of the basal, mid-ventricular, or other focal segments. In the perioperative setting, anaesthetic effects and physiologic perturbations from surgery can further confound the diagnosis. We present a narrative review of the most recent evidence for underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of the variable ballooning patterns and highlight important anaesthetic considerations in the diagnosis and management of these patients.

    Abstract The recruitment and advancement of women in cardiology is an important priority for the cardiology community. Despite improvements in sex disparities over the last 2 decades, women remain a small minority in cardiology. Recent studies have revealed key obstacles facing female cardiologists including radiation exposure, family responsibilities, unequal financial compensations, and lack of career advancement. To attract and retain more women into the field of cardiology, the cardiology community, including professional society leaders, division chiefs, and program directors, must all work to overcome these barriers.

    Abstract Valvular heart disease and heart failure remain important causes of cardiovascular disease among women in the United States. Mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, and tricuspid regurgitation are the most common valvular lesions among men and women. This review focuses on gender differences in the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, and tricuspid regurgitation. The authors also review the unique management of valvular heart disease in pregnancy.
