Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for adults after heart valve surgery:review [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016 Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation may benefit heart valve surgery patients. We conducted a systematic review to assess the evidence for the use of exercise-based intervention programmes following heart valve surgery.To assess the benefits and harms ...

Rheumatic Heart Valve Disease Pathophysiology and Underlying Mechanisms
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Rheumatic heart valve disease (RHVD) is a post-infectious sequel of acute rheumatic fever resulting from an abnormal immune response to a streptococcal pharyngitis that triggers valvular damage.

One-Year Outcomes of Mitral Valve-in-Valve Using the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve.
JAMA cardiology, 2020 Importance Bioprosthetic mitral valves are implanted with increasing frequency but inevitably degenerate, leading to heart failure. Reoperation is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Mechanisms of heart valve development and disease
Development, 2020 The valves of the heart are crucial for ensuring that blood flows in one direction from the heart, through the lungs and back to the rest of the body. Heart valve development is regulated by complex interactions between different cardiac cell types and ...

Biology and Biomechanics of the Heart Valve Extracellular Matrix
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2020 Heart valves are dynamic structures that, in the average human, open and close over 100,000 times per day, and 3 × 109 times per lifetime to maintain unidirectional blood flow.
