Aug 10th, 2020 - Mild mitral stenosis (MS) is a progressive disease but unfortunately, its clinical course is still unclearly studied. We aimed to study the left atrial (LA) deformation in such patients and how it is related to exercise intolerance. Seventy-five p...

Aug 5th, 2020 - The frailty syndrome is a serious health problem for an aging population. The occurrence of frailty in the group of symptomatic patients undergoing heart valve surgery may have additional clinical implications. The predictive ability of the FRAIL ...

Jul 27th, 2020 - Rheumatic mitral valve repair and replacement techniques are frequently used with excellent outcomes in experienced centers. This study aims to evaluate the impact of procedural types on left ventricular function in quinquagenarians. Between Janua...

Jul 26th, 2020 - 3D direct planimetry is increasingly used in clinical practice as a rapid way to measure the mitral valve area (MVA) in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) who underwent three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE). However...

Jul 19th, 2020 - The objective of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of the mitral leaflet separation index (MLSI) in selected patients with mitral stenosis, before and after percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV), compared to conventional methods wi...

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...

Sep 2nd, 2015 - LONDON – Cardiologists’ auscultation skills in the detection of valvular murmurs are “alarmingly low,” Dr. Michael J.

Abstract In 1986, 273 patients at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation had surgery on their native mitral valves. Mitral insufficiency occurred in 153 (56.
