Eigenhearts for diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Common cardiac diseases such as cardio-myopathy, coronary artery diseases, and valve diseases, result in abnormal myocardial movement, which could eventually lead to heart failure, also called congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a disease in which the

Prosthetic Heart Valves

open access: yesInternational Journal of Clinical Practice, 2014
Heart valve replacements improve symptoms and life expectancy but may have potential problems. Biological replacements have limited durability but do not require anticoagulation and are usually used for the relatively elderly. Mechanical valves have a virtually zero primary failure rate but require anticoagulation and are usually used for the ...

Standards for heart valve surgery in a ‘Heart Valve Centre of Excellence’ [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Heart, 2015
Surgical centres of excellence should include multidisciplinary teams with specialist expertise in imaging, clinical assessment and surgery for patients with heart valve disease. There should be structured training programmes for the staff involved in the periprocedural care of the patient and these should be overseen by national or international ...

Heart valve disease in elderly

open access: yesWorld Journal of Cardiology, 2019
The incidence of heart valve disease increases significantly with age. Degenerative abnormalities associated with severe aortic stenosis and mitral and tricuspid regurgitation are found in not less than 10% of the population aged ≥ 75 years.

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of prosthetic aortic valves : comparison between immersed boundary and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques for the mesh representation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In recent years the role of FSI (fluid-structure interaction) simulations in the analysis of the fluid-mechanics of heart valves is becoming more and more important, being able to capture the interaction between the blood and both the surrounding ...

Transcatheter heart valve interventions: where are we? Where are we going?

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2019
Transcatheter heart valve interventions have transformed the outcomes of patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) who are unfavourable candidates for surgery. Technological advances have allowed extension of these interventions to younger or lower risk

The Endocardium and Heart Valves

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2020
Endocardial cells are specialized endothelial cells that, during embryogenesis, form a lining on the inside of the developing heart, which is maintained throughout life. Endocardial cells are an essential source for several lineages of the cardiovascular system including coronary endothelium, endocardial cushion mesenchyme, cardiomyocytes, mural cells,

Trends in Drug UseAssociated Infective Endocarditis and Heart Valve Surgery, 2007 to 2017

open access: yesAnnals of Internal Medicine, 2018
Infective endocarditis (IE), an infection of 1 or more heart valves, is a severe complication of injection drug use that may occur through inoculation of bacteria or fungi into the blood or by hematogenous spread from localized infections.

The future of heart valve replacement: recent developments and translational challenges for heart valve tissue engineering

open access: yesJournal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2018
Heart valve replacement is often the only solution for patients suffering from valvular heart disease. However, currently available valve replacements require either life‐long anticoagulation or are associated with valve degeneration and calcification ...
