The analysis of diastolic function using conventional echocardiography (two-dimensional method, spectral Doppler and tissue Doppler) may not determine some cases of diastolic dysfunction or high left atrial pressure. The parameters that study myocardial strain (left atrial strain rate and longitudinal strain) may help diagnosis. This study describes the diastolic strain rate methods during isovolumetric relaxation time and at peak filling, apical twisting rate and maximal longitudinal left atrial strain, analyzing their applications and advantages.

Background: Transesophageal echocardiography is an exam widely used in clinical practice for investigation and diagnosis of cardiac and noncardiac diseases. Although safe, it is a semi-invasive and non-risk-free examination. Cases of infection associated with transesophageal echocardiography were described and, due to the potential risk of transmission of infection during its implementation, the objective of this work was to review literature data regarding the transmission of infection during the examination, as well as prevention methods. Methods: Review of literature on the subject between December 2017 and January 2018, through research in public domain scientific portals, in the different health science databases, including original articles, guidelines, simple and systematic reviews, case reports, published in periodicals indexed in the last 20 years. Results: Thirteen articles fulfilled the established criteria: a systematic review of transesophageal echocardiography-related complications, six articles describing transesophageal echocardiography-related bacterial outbreaks, the British guideline on cleaning and disinfection for transesophageal echocardiography probes, four articles on adverse reactions to orthophthaldehyde residues in transesophageal echocardiography probes and an article regarding the use of protective covers for the probes. Conclusion: The risk of infection associated with transesophageal echocardiography exists, although poorly described in the literature. It is recommended to establish specific protocols for disinfection of transesophageal echocardiography probes and routine inspection of probes. The strengthening of infection control teams is also essential for the detection and resolution of transesophageal echocardiography-related outbreaks.

Cardiovascular symptoms are a frequent and, sometimes, predominant clinical manifestation in patients with hyperthyroidism. Reports of palpitations is present in most cases. Increased heart rate results both from increased sympathetic tone and reduced parasympathetic tone. It is common to observe frequency above 90 bpm at rest, dull diurnal variation and exaggerated elevation on exertion. A subgroup of patients may develop precordial pain similar to angina. In rare patients, generally young women, resting chest pain syndrome is associated with ischemic abnormalities on electrocardiogram. Cardiac catheterization demonstrates that most have angiographically normal coronary arteries. However, coronary vasospasms similar to those found in Prinzmetal angina are reported. Myocardial infarction rarely develops, and these patients seem to respond to calcium channel blockers or nitroglycerin.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are disorders of lysosomal storage characterized by functional deficiency caused by the genetic mutation of one of the lysosomal enzymes that act in the catabolism of Glycosaminoglycans (GAG), previously known as mucopolysaccharides.1 It is a hereditary disease of an autosomal recessive form, or X-linked recessive, and with different phenotypes.2 Cardiovascular involvement is common, occurring more frequently in types I, II and VI.1,3,4 Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography is the method of choice for diagnosis and follow-up when there is cardiac involvement. It is extremely relevant for the echocardiographers to be familiar with this entity. We report the case of two patients diagnosed with MPS (types II and VI), with valvular heart impairment.
