May 21st, 2020 - Plasmalogens (Pls) are a class of membrane phospholipids which serve a number of essential biological functions. Deficiency of Pls is associated with common disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or ischemic heart disease. A complete lack of Pls du...

Apr 23rd, 2020 - Rationale: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is one of the most common valvular disorders. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in fibromyxomatous changes in the mitral leaflet tissue have not been elucidated. Aldosterone (Aldo) promo...

Apr 9th, 2020 - Although a familial distribution has been documented, the genetic aetiology of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is largely unknown, with only four genes identified so far: FLNA, DCHS1, DZIP1 and PLD1. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic y...

Apr 8th, 2020 - Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS) is characterized by: delayed motor and cognitive milestones and mild-to-moderate intellectual disability; craniosynostosis of the coronal, sagittal, or lambdoid sutures; distinctive craniofacial features; and mus...

Mar 31st, 2020 - Background The association between mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden death remains controversial. We aimed to describe histopathological changes in individuals with autopsy-determined isolated MVP (iMVP) and sudden death and document cardiac ...

May 2nd, 2017 - Action Points Mitral valve prolapse is more likely to be repaired successfully if surgeons perform the procedure at least 25 times a year, based on data from a New York State mandatory-reporting cardiac surgery database. Note that these data repre...

Dec 1st, 2016 - Time to End Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Infective Endocarditis? Introduction During my emergency medicine training in the early 1990s, antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis (IE) was routine for many types of patients before undergoing a...

Oct 15th, 2014 - Finally, the new guidelines include recommendations for using transcatheter valves and the mitral clip to treat patients with secondary MR with LV dysfunction. This is not yet an approved indication from the Food and Drug Administration, pending t.
