Echocardiography Core Laboratory Methodology for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): A Transatlantic Consensus

JACC Cardiovasc ImagingPublished Methodological review

Study context

Population
Post-TAVR echocardiographic endpoints analysed by 2 harmonized echocardiography core laboratories (ECLs) in TAVR trials
Outcome
Harmonized ECL methodology for post-TAVR echocardiographic endpoints (VARC-3): feasibility and intra- and inter-ECL reproducibility

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Review presents feasibility and intra- and inter-ECL reproducibility, explains the root cause of potential important inter-ECL variability, and formulates ECL recommendations for optimal post-TAVR image acquisition
