TI  - Basic and advanced echocardiography in advanced heart failure: an overview.

AB  - Advanced chronic heart failure (ACHF) is the last phase in the evolution of heart 
      failure and is characterized by high hospitalization and mortality rates and is 
      refractory to medical therapy, therefore requiring more aggressive therapies, 
      such as mechanical circulatory support or heart transplantation. Over the last 
      years, the incidence of ACHF was continuously growing, together with the increase 
      in population survival rates. Therefore, the early recognition of the transition 
      to ACHF is of crucial importance in HF patients, which also helps in 
      prognostication of such patients, since advanced therapeutic options are limited 
      to selected patients and they also have some important risk implications. 
      Echocardiography is the gold standard tool for the evaluation of patients with 
      HF; moreover, the recent technological advances provided new structural and 
      functional indices of the four cardiac chambers that showed to be comparable to 
      advanced imaging or invasive hemodynamic parameters. This allows us to operate an 
      accurate study of ACHF with first- and second-level echocardiographic techniques, 
      which are now being integrated in daily clinical practice. The present review 
      presents an overview of the currently available tools for the echocardiographic 
      examination of patients with ACHF, with its advantages and limitations, based on 
      the latest supporting evidences.
