Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and strain-derived myocardial work indices are novel echocardiographic parameters with growing applications. Still, they have been poorly investigated in heart transplant (HTx) recipients so far. We sought to examine the diagnostic impact of left ventricular longitudinal strain-derived indices in diagnosing myocardial injury as assessed by dd-cfDNA after HTx. Methods: Since October 2022, HTx recipients have been shifted from our endomyocardial biopsy (EMB)-based rejection surveillance protocol to a monthly dd-cfDNA-led rejection assessment. We analysed the percentage of donor-derived to total cell-free DNA. For echocardiographic analysis, patient selection was restricted to those transplanted ≥ 6 months. We used 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography to assess LVGLS and strain-derived myocardial work parameters. Results: We analysed four hundred and forty-nine dd-cfDNA samples from seventy-one patients until November 2024. The mean dd-cfDNA fraction remained very low (0.13 ± 0.06%). Eighty-eight percent of surveillance EMBs that would have otherwise been performed were avoided. The mean LVGLS was lower than the literature reference values. We found no correlation between dd-cfDNA and LVGLS. Transplanted hearts had different myocardial work indices than the reference values reported in the literature. Conclusions: dd-cfDNA effectively rules out clinically significant acute rejection and decreases the need for invasive surveillance EMBs. LVGLS seems less sensitive than dd-cfDNA for the identification of myocardial injury in the early stages of HTx rejection in patients at low risk for rejection.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2227-9059}, orcid-numbers = {Bödör, Csaba/0000-0002-0729-692X; Fintha, Attila/0000-0002-0519-8170; Kovács, Attila/0000-0003-2320-6434; Merkely, Béla Péter/0000-0001-6514-0723} } @article{MTMT:36114660, title = {PO-03-132 ESOPHAGEAL SAFETY OF HIGH AND VERY HIGH POWER SHORT DURATION PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION: A RANDOMIZED COMPARISON OF THE 50W AND 90W POWER SETTINGS}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36114660}, author = {Komlósi, Ferenc and Nagy, Klaudia Vivien and Perge, Péter and Salló, Zoltán and Osztheimer, István and Tanai, Edit and Tóth, Patrik and Orbán, Gábor and Ferencz, Arnold Béla and Boga, Márton and Hizoh, István and Papp, Veronika and Hritz, István and Szijártó, Attila and Bousoussou, Melinda and Merkely, Béla Péter and Gellér, László Alajos and Szegedi, Nándor}, doi = {10.1016/j.hrthm.2025.03.1042}, journal-iso = {HEART RHYTHM}, journal = {HEART RHYTHM}, volume = {22}, unique-id = {36114660}, issn = {1547-5271}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1556-3871}, pages = {S392-S392}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Klaudia Vivien/0000-0001-6878-1892; Perge, Péter/0000-0003-1256-3532; Osztheimer, István/0000-0002-8209-990X; Tanai, Edit/0000-0003-4076-2811; Tóth, Patrik/0000-0002-1483-2225; Orbán, Gábor/0000-0002-5850-9892; Hizoh, István/0000-0001-5141-2070; Hritz, István/0000-0002-8763-6006; Merkely, Béla Péter/0000-0001-6514-0723; Gellér, László Alajos/0000-0001-6802-6360; Szegedi, Nándor/0000-0001-5670-745X} } @article{MTMT:36103812, title = {Modest NT-proBNP Elevation in Septuagenarians Without Heart Failure Is Not Associated with Cardiac Alterations or Cardiovascular Outcomes}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36103812}, author = {da, Silva C.O. and Hage, C. and Johnson, J. and Bäck, M. and Nagy, Anikó Ilona and Svennberg, E. and Bastos, L. and Engdahl, J. and Al-Khalili, F. and Lund, L. and Manouras, A.}, doi = {10.3390/jcm14072407}, journal-iso = {J CLIN MED}, journal = {JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {36103812}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2077-0383}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Anikó Ilona/0000-0002-0519-5172} }
