Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The last 30 years have witnessed major improvements in understanding of all aspects of infective endocarditis (IE). The Iranian Registry of Infective Endocarditis (IRIE) was formed to address epidemiological aspects of IE vis-à-vis its main pathogens and underlying heart diseases over a 12-year period. Indeed, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) for IE was developed alongside. METHODS In a longitudinal observational study, data of adult patients with definite or possible IE based on modified Duke criteria were collected from 2007 to 2016 in our tertiary centre, Iran. From 2016 until 2019, we run a prospective observational study using formation of an IE MDT to provide better patient management and compared data before and after this. RESULTS Totally, 645 patients with mean age of 48 ± 17 years were enrolled. Data of 445 and 200 patients were compared before and after IRIE and MDT formation, respectively. We found significantly reduced type and number of applied antibiotics (p = 0.04) and higher rate of positive blood culture (p = 0.001). Hospital length of stay increased significantly after formation of the IRIE and IE MDT (p = 0.02). The rate of heart failure, new abscess formation and cerebral emboli were significantly decreased after IRIE and IE MDT (p < 0.001) and consequently in-hospital mortality reduced significantly (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION Developing national registries and MDTs has potential to enhance patient management and reduce IE burden. Our results demonstrated that establishment of the Iranian IRIE and IE MDT conferred better diagnoses, standardised treatments and significantly reduced cardiac and extra cardiac morbidity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Post-pulmonary emboli impairment (PPEI), comprised significant morbidity and mortality. A single center registry of patients with PE was established in order to estimate patients' risk, monitor clinical management and develop a simple model to assess the risk for PPEI for the entire spectrum of patients treated in general clinical practice.
Methods
For developing the mentioned model, apart from approved imaging parameters, potential novel imaging parameters were also evaluated. Recovery were assessed according to Pulmonary Embolism Thrombolysis (PEITHO) trial definition (Figure 1).
Results
140 patients have been registered with at least 6-month imaging follow up. PPEI was confirmed in 75 (53.6%) patients with PE. The prognostic value of traditional and novel imaging parameters on 6-month complete recovery were summarized in Table. A multivariable logistic regression model was developed using 140 patients. Previous PE, HRfollowing five in-hospital-parameters accounted for simple prognostic model for incomplete recovery: history of PE, heart rate≥110, serum blood urea nitrogen level, RV/LV ratio and right atrium area, The overall prediction ability was excellent with 80.6 overall percentage for PPEI.
Conclusions
PPPEI rate was considerable in our study. Our proposed simple prediction model might have a role on identification of patients at risk for PPEI.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function is essential in the follow up of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Role of advance echocardiography including 3D transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) for evaluation of 3D RV function and RV longitudinal strain in predicting prognosis in ARVC patients, has not been well investigated.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate 3DTTE parameters in predicting major advance cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as ventricular arrhythmia, cardiac hospitalization, heart transplantation, and death in ARVC patients.
Methods
Forty-eight definite ARVC subjects based on the 2010 Task force criteria were evaluated with standard 2D transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) and 3DTTE. Patients with poor image quality were excluded. RV function was evaluated by 2D and 3D TTE including: fractional area change (FAC), RV global and free wall longitudinal strain (RV2DGLS and RV2DFWLS) and 3D RV ejection fraction (RV3DEF), RV global and free wall longitudinal strain (RV3DGLS, and RV3DFWLS). The patients were followed up for a median period of 12 months (6–18 months) to record MACE.
Results
Forty-eight patients with mean age =38.5±14 years; 79.2% male, and mean RV3DEF =30.33%, were included. During the mean follow up 12 months, 12 patients (25%, with mean RV3DEF = 24.8±9%) experienced MACE whereas mean RV3EF in patient without any cardiovascular events during follow up was 34.21±9%. The most common causes of hospitalization were arrhythmia, right-sided heart failure, and RV clot as the following: Ventricular arrhythmia in 7 patients (14.6%, with mean RV3DEF = 29.01±8.82%), RV clot in 2 cases (4.2%, with mean RV3DEF = 20.2%), right-sided heart failure in 3 patients (6.3%, with mean RV3DEF = 16.83±3.6%) that 2 of them (2.1%, with mean RV3DEF = 14.58±0.63) underwent heart transplantation.
Logistic regression analysis revealed RV3DTTE (p-value = 0.03, OR=0.90, CI: 0.82–0.99), RV3DGLS (p-value = 0.05, OR=1.27, CI: 0.99–1.61) and RV3DFWLS (p-value = 0.01, OR=1.29, CI: 1.05–1.59), predicted cardiac adverse events, but there were no significant association between RV2DGLS, RV2DEWLS and FAC with MACE.
Conclusion
RV3DEF, RV3DGLS, and RV3DFWLS were powerful predictors of morbidity and mortality and can be useful as a valuable method in the prediction of major cardiovascular complications in ARVC patients.
