Adipocytes in Aortic Stenosis: Association With Clinical and Morphological Indices
ABSTRACT Recently, great attention has been given to understanding the new pathogenetic mechanisms underlying aortic stenosis (AS). The study aims to understand the role of mature adipocytes in AS and their association with histologic, clinical, and echocardiographic data, an area previously overlooked in AS research.

Fetal heterotaxy with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary atresia, and isomerism of the right atrial appendages at 22 weeks. [PDF]
We report the accurate prenatal diagnosis at 22 weeks gestation of right atrial isomerism in association with tricuspid atresia. Several distinctive sonographic features of isomerism of the right atrial appendages were present in this fetus: complex ...

ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an uncommon but serious complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, often misinterpreted as primary pulmonary disease. Timely identification is essential to prevent irreversible injury and to guide appropriate referral for interventional management. Case Presentations Through the discussion of

Recanalization of Thrombosed Atrial Flow Regulator in Failing Fontan: A Bridge to Transplant
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy (41 kg, 133 cm) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (mitral and aortic atresia), who underwent staged palliation: Norwood‐Sano at 6 days, Glenn at 7 months, and Fontan completion at 3 years using a 16 mm non‐fenestrated extracardiac Gore‐Tex conduit.

Intra‐Annular Versus Supra‐Annular Self‐Expanding Valves for Valve‐in‐Valve TAVR
ABSTRACT Background A limitation of Valve‐in‐Valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is patient‐prosthesis mismatch (PPM), which is associated with worse quality of life and heart failure hospitalizations. As such, strategies to avoid PPM are desired. We compared the clinical and hemodynamic results of VIV TAVR with intra‐annular self‐

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.
