On the valves of the heart [PDF]
Abstracts of the Papers Communicated to the Royal Society of LondonThe paper contains observations upon the structure and connections of the auriculo-ventricular and arterial valves of the human heart, which the author thinks will assist in explaining their nature and functions. The relation of the “four orifices” in the base of the heart is examined, and it is shown that the aortic and left auriculo-ventricular ...

Growing Heart Valve Implants for Children
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 The current standard of care for pediatric patients with unrepairable congenital valvular disease is a heart valve implant. However, current heart valve implants are unable to accommodate the somatic growth of the recipient, preventing long-term clinical

Circulation, 2011 A 55-year-old invasive/clinical cardiologist worked full time, exercised regularly, and was asymptomatic. Two weeks previously, he had new onset of angina on exertion. Echocardiography/Doppler and cardiac catheterization confirmed the clinical assessment of severe aortic stenosis with a valve area of 0.5 cm2/m2.

How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]
, 2020 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.
