Feb 17th, 2021 - Downsizing of mitral annulus due to mitral annuloplasty for ischemic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) raises a new issue, functional mitral stenosis (FMS), defined as a decline of mitral hemodynamics. However, common mitral hemodynamic parame...

Feb 16th, 2021 - Study aims were to compare hemodynamics and viscous energy dissipation (VED) in 3D printed mitral valves-one replicating a normal valve and the other a valve with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). Patients with severe MAC develop transmit...

Feb 14th, 2021 - The aims of this study were to: 1) develop a formula for projected transmitral gradient (TMG), expected gradient under normal heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV); and 2) assess the prognostic value of projected TMG. In mitral stenosis (MS), TM...

Feb 9th, 2021 - Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias in the adult population, in children, however, only a few case reports of isolated atrial fibrillation exist.1 Aside from post-operative AF due to atrial scar formation or suture lines and ...

Feb 8th, 2021 - To evaluate the evidence for common therapeutic controversies in the medical management of valvular heart disease (VHD). A literature search of PubMed (inception to December 2020) was performed using the terms angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) i...

Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of ischemic stroke fivefold, and in the setting of mitral stenosis it drives up the risk of stroke twentyfold over that of patients with a normal heartbeat. Atrial flutter also significantly raises the chance...

May 30th, 2019 - Explanation The correct answer is cyanosis. Reduced excursion of the mitral leaflets during diastole is shown in the apical four-chamber view (Figure 1). The color Doppler image (Figure 2) shows turbulent flow entering the left ventricle during di...

Mar 11th, 2019 - Patients with mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation (Afib) did well on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for thromboembolic event prevention, retrospective data indicated. Individuals with both conditions who were using DOACs off-label had fewe...

Jun 26th, 2017 - NEW YORK – Repairing mitral valves in pediatric patients must overcome two issues: the wide variability in their anatomy and their growth. Using strategies and techniques common in adult mitral surgery can accomplish good mitral valve function in.

Nov 13th, 2016 - Editor's Note: The Case Challenge series includes difficult-to-diagnose conditions, some of which are not frequently encountered by most clinicians but are nonetheless important to accurately recognize. Test your diagnostic and treatment skills us...
