A rare pediatric cardiac anomaly: Quadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation
A quadricuspid aortic valve is rarely diagnosed in children, but it can be associated with significant aortic regurgitation. It is important for pediatric cardiologists to be aware of this pathologic entity.

The Heart of a Horse: 3‐D Echocardiographic Analysis of the Equine Aortic Valve [PDF]
Aortic regurgitation (AR) can be a normal function of aging or a disease in younger horses. Symptoms range from no outward signs to decreased performance to sudden cardiac arrest.

How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]
The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.

ABSTRACT Background Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a complication linked to poor outcomes. The prognostic impact of mild PVR, particularly in patients with elevated preprocedural left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, remains uncertain.

Serial blood pressure measurements, left ventricular remodelling and cardiovascular outcomes
We assessed systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic BP and pulse pressure at several time points during adulthood in 2544 subjects participating in the Akershus Cardiac Examination 1950 Study. Serial blood pressure measurements are strongly associated with indexed LV mass, LV systolic function, and LV volumes, as well as risk of incident myocardial ...

Alfieri stitch for temporary severe functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement
The outcome in functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement is unclear. A frail 82-year-old woman with severe aortic valve regurgitation and mild to moderate functional mitral valve regurgitation (NYHA functional class III) was referred

Long-term survival after aortic valve replacement with the Mitroflow bioprosthesis : a comparative study [PDF]
Background Recent case reports of early structural degeneration of the Mitroflow valve have cast doubts on the suitability of this bioprosthesis, particularly in the smaller sizes, and in younger patients.

Restoration of a Stuck Leaflet
ABSTRACT Severe aortic regurgitation (AR) for a leaflet malfunction after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a dreadful complication that can lead even to cardiogenic shock. New valve's design has reduced the rate of paravalvular regurgitation, however central regurgitation is still a challenging complication.

Biventricular adaptation to volume overload in mice with aortic regurgitation
Background Aortic valve regurgitation is usually caused by impaired coaptation of the aortic valve cusps during diastole. Hypercholesterolemia produces aortic valve lipid deposition, fibrosis, and calcification in both mice and humans, which could impair
