Right Ventricular Myocardial Work by Echocardiography: A Scoping Review of Methodology, Validation, and Clinical Applications

Ehsan hahverdi, Carsten Schneider, Mathias LangeKlinikum Osnabrück. Germany EchocardiographyEchocardiography 2026; 43: DOI: 10.1111/echo.70620 AbstractBackground: Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular (RV) function remains challenging because conventional functional and deformation indices are strongly influenced by loading conditions. Right ventricular myocardial work (RVMW), derived by integrating myocardial deformation with ventricular pressure, has emerged as a potential framework for

Clinical, Electrocardiographic, Biochemical, and Echocardiographic Markers for Diagnosing Cardiac Dysfunction in Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Narrative Review

Solomon Tatagiri , Belinda Chan, Yogen SinghUniversity of California at Davis.United States ChildrenChildren 2026; 13: DOI: 10.3390/children13081050 AbstractBackground/Objectives: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a leading cause of neonatal death and long-term neurodisability. Cardiovascular dysfunction commonly accompanies HIE and influences neurological recovery, yet it is difficult to recognize because conventional clinical signs correlate poorly with the myocardial function. This
