Drug Therapy for Heart Valve Diseases. [PDF]
Circulation, 2015 Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) are among the most predictable causes of heart failure and sudden cardiac death.1 Observational studies suggest that a relatively high proportion of asymptomatic subjects manifest hemodynamically apparent VHDs varying from ...

Serotonin and catecholamines in the development and progression of heart valve diseases. [PDF]
Cardiovasc Res, 2017 Heart valve diseases (HVDs) arise from a number of different processes that affect both the structure and function of the valve apparatus. Despite diverse aetiologies, treatments for HVDs are limited to percutaneous or surgical interventions.

Natriuretic peptides in heart valve disease [PDF]
Heart, 2005 Synthesis and release of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are increased in heart failure, and plasma concentrations provide important therapeutic and prognostic information. Recent studies have shown that BNP concentrations are also increased with disease of the mitral and aortic valves.
