Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Gait speed is a reliable measure of physical function and frailty in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Slow gait speed pre‐TAVR predicts worse clinical outcomes post‐TAVR.

Four Artificial Heart Valves [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2005 A 67-year-old woman reported having progressive shortness of breath over several months, three years after undergoing aortic-valve replacement for aortic insufficiency. The patient had migraine headaches for which she had received 2 mg of ergotamine tartrate daily for many years. On physical examination, her blood pressure was 170/95 mm Hg.
