The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Transcatheter Mitral‐Valve Repair in Patients with Heart Failure

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2018
BACKGROUND Among patients with heart failure who have mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction, the prognosis is poor. Transcatheter mitral‐valve repair may improve their clinical outcomes.

Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair of Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation

open access: yesUS Cardiology Review, 2019
Despite the increasing knowledge of the long-term adverse consequence of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), most patients with moderate- to-severe TR are still treated conservatively because of the high risk of surgery.

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...
