Simulation-Based Design of Bicuspidization of the Aortic Valve [PDF]
Objective: Severe congenital aortic valve pathology in the growing patient remains a challenging clinical scenario. Bicuspidization of the diseased aortic valve has proven to be a promising repair technique with acceptable durability. However, most understanding of the procedure is empirical and retrospective.

Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF) and wide QRS complex. However, patients with non‐left bundle branch block (LBBB) show a poor response to CRT. This study evaluated myocardial work estimated by pressure–strain loops on echocardiography for predicting response to CRT in ...
