Abstract	Introduction: Left ventricular (LV) strains are measures of deformation that reflect LV function quantifying the rate of LV contraction, providing information in three directions in space: radial (RS), longitudinal (LS) and circumferential directions (CS). The LV moves around its longitudinal axis in a special movement called LV rotational mechanics. The present study aimed to assess associations between three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE)-derived LV rotational mechanics and LV strains in healthy adult subjects. Methods: The present study consisted of 174 healthy adults (mean age: 32.8 ± 12.2 years, 79 males). Complete two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and 3DSTE were performed in all subjects. Results: While LV-gRS and LV-gLS did not show associations with increased basal LV rotation, the lowest LV-gCS was seen in the presence of the highest LV basal rotation. An increase in basal LV rotation and consequential LV twist were not associated with apical LV rotation. While LV-gLS was not associated with the increase in apical LV rotation, LV-gRS and LV-gCS showed a trend towards increasing values. An increase in LV-gRS was associated with an increasing trend towards apical LV rotation, LV twist and LV-gCS and the preservation of basal LV rotation. LV-gLS also increased but only up to a certain value. An increase in LV-gCS was associated with a tendency towards a decrease in basal LV rotation and a tendency towards an increase in LV-gRS and LV-gLS. The highest LV-gCS was associated with the highest apical LV rotation and LV twist. The highest apical LV rotation, LV twist and LV-gCS were seen in the presence of the highest LV-gLS, while basal LV rotation and LV-gRS were not associated with increasing LV-gLS. Conclusions: Basal LV rotation has been shown to have an inverse relationship with LV-gCS, but without being related to LV-gRS and LV-gLS, while apical LV rotation is associated with LV strains in all directions, but to a different extent, suggesting a complex relationship between LV rotational mechanics and LV strains in healthy adults.

Abstract	Introduction: Similarly to the ventricles, the atria are under sympathetic/parasympathetic neural regulation. Accordingly, correlations were investigated between Ewing's standard cardiovascular reflex tests (SCRTs) and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE)-derived right atrial (RA) volumes and strains in healthy subjects. Materials and methods: The study comprised 45 healthy adults, but 5 subjects were excluded due to inferior image quality for 3DSTE-derived RA assessments. The remaining 40 individuals being in sinus rhythm had a mean age of 35.1 ± 3.5 years (20 men). Two-dimensional, Doppler, 3DSTE and SCRTs were performed in all cases. Results: RA maximum volume and total and passive RA stroke volumes correlated with the Valsalva ratio. Active RA stroke volume and emptying fraction showed correlations with 30/15 ratio. Peak global and mean segmental RA circumferential (CS) and longitudinal strains (LS) showed correlation with the Valsalva ratio. At atrial contraction, global RA-LS and mean segmental RA-CS showed correlations with the Valsalva ratio. Moreover, mean segmental RA-CS correlated with 30/15 ratio and mean segmental RA radial strain showed correlations with systolic blood pressure in response to standing. Autonomic neuropathy score correlated with peak global RA-LS. Conclusions: Autonomic function parameters have significant associations with specific RA functions in healthy adults, making the latter possible indicators of autonomic dysregulation.

Abstract	Acromegaly is an uncommon systematic endocrine disease caused by the hypersecretion of human growth hormone and, consequently, of insulin-like growth factor-1 during adulthood. Acromegaly could cause a typical cardiomyopathy characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy associated with diastolic dysfunction, which later could progress to systolic dysfunction. Moreover, some valvular and vascular abnormalities are also associated with acromegaly. This present review aims to summarize available information regarding acromegaly-associated abnormalities in myocardial, valvular, and vascular structural and functional properties and their relationship to disease activity and treatment options.

Abstract	Background: Lymphedema (LE) is a chronic condition, which refers to tissue swelling due to excess interstitial fluid accumulation or impaired lymphatic conduit. Theoretically, lymphedema-related fluid retention could affect left ventricular (LV) mechanics, which could be detailed by recent three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. Therefore, it was purposed to examine LV strains in LE patients before and one hour after the use of medical compression stockings and to compare findings to those of matched normal subjects. Methods: The study comprised 26 cases with lymphedema, however, 4 cases had to be excluded due to inferior quality of images. Their results were compared to 27 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Results: Global LV circumferential and area strains and mean segmental LV circumferential strain were increased in lymphedema patients before the use of medical compression stockings as compared to controls. One hour after the use of medical compression stockings, no global and mean segmental LV strain showed significant impairment or improvement, but tendentious reduction was seen in LV circumferential strain. With LV segmental analysis, midventricular LV radial, circumferential and area strains proved to be significantly increased, while basal LV longitudinal strain and midventricular LV three-dimensional strain were decreased as compared to controls. No changes in regional LV strains could be detected after one-hour medical compression stockings use as compared to data collected at rest. Conclusions: Increased global LV circumferential strain is seen in lymphedema. With using medical compression stockings, LV deformation parameters change towards the normal range emphasizing their importance on cardiac function.

Title translation	Congenital heart diseases in patients above the age of 60 years. Results from the CSONGRAD Registry
Abstract	Introduction: Development in paediatric and interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery resulted in an increase in the number and average age of adult congenital heart disease patients. Comorbidities may appear with increased age leading to new challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of this complex group of patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare clinical and echocardiographic parameters in adult congenital heart disease patients under our care below the age of 40 years, between 40 and 59 years and above the age of 60 years. Method: Data of a total of 346 patients were analyzed; 154 patients were under 40 years of age, 133 patients were between 40 and 59 years of age, and 59 patients were 60 years old or older. All adult congenital heart disease patients who underwent an outpatient examination were included in the study. As part of the physical examination, the New York Heart Association (NYHA) clinical classification of heart failure was determined, electrocardiography, echocardiography and 6-minute walk test were performed. Results: Above the age of 40, the ratio of comorbidities increased, significantly more patients were classified into NYHA functional classes III-IV and the ratio of patients having a left ventricular ejection fraction below 55% significantly increased. The prevalence of arrhythmia was similar in all age groups, but an increasing tendency could be seen with age. Conclusion: There is a growing number of elderly adult congenital heart disease patients with comorbidities that play an important role in the management and in the outcome of congenital heart disease. New protocols and recommendations are required in the follow-up of these patients to help determining the optimal time for reoperation, intervention or heart transplantation.

Abstract	Background: In dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA), the aorta and the pulmonary artery are transposed. The present study aimed a three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived determination of volumetric and functional features of the atrium being on the morphologic right side ['right atrium (RA)] in adult patients with dTGA. Methods: The present study comprised 18 adult dTGA patients, four of whom were excluded due to inferior image quality. From the remaining 14 patients (mean age: 29.7 ± 8.1 years, 9 males), 7 cases underwent Mustard-procedure, while another 7 subjects underwent Senning-procedure. Their results were compared to that of 28 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects (28.8 ± 1.4 years, 20 males). Results: Increased RA volumes respecting the cardiac cycle could be demonstrated in dTGA patients compared to controls. RA stroke volumes (SVs) for reservoir and conduit function were reduced together with impaired RA emptying fractions (EFs) featuring all phases of RA function. Mustard-operated patients showed tendentiously lower RA volumes and increased SVs and EFs respecting the cardiac cycle compared to those of Senning-operated patients suggesting beneficial results for Mustard-procedure. Reduced RA global and mean segmental peak RA strains and RA strains at atrial contraction could be detected in dTGA patients compared to those of controls with tendentiously lower values in Mustard-operated patients compared to those of Senning-operated subjects. Conclusions: Significant RA volumetric and functional abnormalities could be detected in adult dTGA patients following atrial switch repair. While RA volumetric data proved to be better in Mustard-operated patients, RA strains were enhanced in Senning-operated subjects.

Abstract	Introduction: The functioning of the left atrium (LA) is partly controlled by the neural system. It was purposed to evaluate correlations between the result of Ewing's 5 standard cardiovascular reflex tests (SCRTs) characterizing autonomic function and LA volumetric and functional features as assessed by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in healthy individuals. Materials and methods: The current study comprised 18 healthy volunteers being in sinus rhythm (mean age: 35 ± 12 years, 10 men). Measurement of blood pressure, ECG, 5 SCRTs, two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and 3DSTE were performed. These parameters were in normal ranges in all cases. Results: From LA volumetric parameters, only systolic total atrial emptying fraction (r = 0.559, p = 0.037) and early diastolic passive atrial emptying fraction (r = 0.539, p = 0.047) correlated with systolic blood pressure response to standing representing sympathetic autonomic function. From LA strains, peak mean segmental LA radial strain (RS) (r = -0.532, p = 0.050), global and mean segmental LA circumferential strain (CS) (r = 0.662, p = 0.010 and r = 0.635, p = 0.015, respectively) representing systolic LA function correlated with Valsalva ratio representing parasympathetic autonomic function. Global LA-RS (r = -0.713, p = 0.040) and LA-CS (r = 0.657, p = 0.011) and mean segmental LA-CS (r = 0.723, p = 0.003) at atrial contraction representing end-diastolic atrial contraction showed correlations with Valsalva ratio, as well. Peak global and mean segmental LA-CS (r = 0.532, p = 0.050 and r = 0.530, p = 0.050) and the same strains at atrial contraction (r = 0.704, p = 0.005 and r = 0.690, p = 0.006) representing systolic function and end-diastolic atrial contraction correlated with systolic blood pressure response to standing representing both parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic functions. Conclusions: Significant correlations between features of vegetative autonomic function represented by Ewing's 5 SCRTs and specific LA functions represented by 3DSTE-derived LA volume-based functional properties and strains could be demonstrated in healthy adults.

Abstract	Background: Although there is an increasing number of patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot (cTOF), who reach adulthood due to recent successful surgical procedures, some of them suffers from late complications, including functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR). The purpose of the present study was to examine tricuspid annular (TA) abnormalities in adult cTOF patients and their relationship right atrial (RA) volumes respecting the cardiac cycle assessed by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE). Moreover, the effect of different surgical procedures on TA morphologic and functional parameters was examined as well. Methods: The study comprised 24 cTOF patients (32.8±13.5 years, 9 males) in which early palliative surgery and late total correction were performed in 12 cases (pcTOF), while early total reconstruction was performed in 12 subjects (etrTOF). Their results were compared to those of 33 matched healthy adults (36.7±7.2 years, 15 males). Results: Dilated end-systolic and end-diastolic TA morphologic parameters and their body surface area-indexed counterpart could be detected in cTOF patients as compared to that of controls. TA fractional area change and TA fractional shortening proved to be reduced in cTOF patients as well as in etrTOF and pcTOF patients compared to controls. None of the TA morphologic and functional parameters showed any differences between etrTOF and pcTOF patients. Increased maximum, preatrial contraction and minimum RA volumes could be detected in cTOF patients compared to controls, which correlated with TA dimensions. Conclusions: TA is dilated with reduced function in adult patients with cTOF. TA dilation is related to RA volumes. etrTOF and pcTOF patients have similar TA dimensions and TA functional properties. Keywords: Fallot; tricuspid annulus; three-dimensional (3D); speckle-tracking; echocardiography.
