Nov 26th, 2020 - Ventricular arrhythmias in mitral valve prolapse: new explanations for an old problem.|2020|Cipriani A,Bauce B,|

Nov 25th, 2020 - Mitral valve surgery can be challenging for patients with mitral annular calcification (MAC). The prevalence of MAC in patients who undergo mitral valve replacement is 19.9%. The  treatment options for MAC include complete decalcification and annu...

Nov 23rd, 2020 - Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common cardiovascular disease defined as a late systolic click or mitral valve lobes that move up into the left atrium during ventricular systole, with or without mitral insufficiency. Dachsous catherin-related 1 (...

Nov 23rd, 2020 - T1-based method is considered as the gold standard for extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping. This technique requires at least a 10 min delay after injection to acquire the post injection T1 map. Quantitative analysis of Dynamic Contrast Enh...

Nov 1st, 2020 - This study hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) enlargement in Barlow disease can be explained by accounting for the total volume load that consists of transvalvular mitral regurgitation (MR) and the prolapse volume. Barlow disease is character...

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...

Feb 1st, 2017 - Atrial flutter may be a sequela of open heart surgery. After cardiac surgery, atrial flutter may be reentrant as a result of natural barriers, atrial incisions, and scar. Some patients develop atypical left atrial flutter after pulmonary vein isol...

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.

Jan 17th, 2012 - Other Cardiac Sounds Means-Lerman Scratch A Means-Lerman scratch is a mid-systolic sound over the upper sternum. It occurs in end expiration and is associated with hyperthyroidism. It is caused by a pulmonary ejection murmur in the setting of a hy...
