Targeting septal work and viability identifies responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy

Event: EuroEcho 2019

Topic: Imaging of Systolic and Diastolic Function

Session: Imaging: systolic and diastolic function

Septal dysfunction is driving development of heart failure in left bundle branch block

Event: EuroEcho-Imaging 2018

Topic: Tissue Doppler, Speckle Tracking and Strain Imaging

Session: Cardiac mechanics: from healthy to disease

Reduced left ventricular lateral wall contractility leads to recovery of septal function in left bundle branch block

Event: ESC Congress 2018

Topic: Systolic Ventricular Dysfunction

Session: Chronic heart failure – pathophysiology and mechanisms

Septal rebound stretch is a tug of war between septum and left ventricular lateral wall

Event: ESC Congress 2018

Topic: Haemodynamics of Heart Failure

Session: Chronic heart failure – pathophysiology and mechanisms

Septal work is a more sensitive marker of myocardial dysfunction in dyssynchrony than strain

Event: ESC Congress 2018

Topic: Systolic and Diastolic Function

Session: Left ventricular mechanics

Pressure-strain loops in the evaluation of left bundle branch block: septal function is aggravated by increased afterload

Event: EuroEcho-Imaging 2017

Topic: Regional left ventricular systolic function

Session: Assessment of LV performance

Negative crosstalk between left ventricular lateral wall and septum in left bundle branch block: "the lateral wall paradox"

Event: EuroEcho-Imaging 2017

Topic: Regional left ventricular systolic function

Session: Young Investigator Award session - Basic Science

Patients with left bundle branch block are hypersensitive to afterload: moderate elevation of systolic pressure caused marked depression of left ventricular function

Event: ESC Congress 2017

Topic: Ventricular function / haemodynamics

Session: Devices and multidisciplinary interventions in heart failure

Early diastolic mitral flow velocity/ annular velocity ratio is a sensitive marker of elevated filling pressure in left ventricular dyssynchrony

Event: EuroEcho-Imaging 2016

Topic: Assessment of diastolic function

Session: Assessment of morphology and function

Load sensitivity in left bundle branch block: septal contribution to left ventricular stroke work is abolished with elevated afterload

Event: ESC Congress 2016

Topic: Ventricular function / haemodynamics

Session: Heart failure LV dysfunction
