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 mild to severe.1 VHDs comprise 2 overarching groups: primary, involving intrinsic abnormalities of ...

Natriuretic peptides in heart valve disease [PDF]
Heart, 2006 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.

The Turkish registry of heart valve disease
Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi Arsivi-Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2013 Valvular heart diseases (VHD) occur frequently in Turkey. However, epidemiological studies of VHD have not been completed until now. The aim of this study is to identify the VHD type, clinical, laboratory characteristics, and treatment methods among VHD patients in Turkey.The study was conducted prospectively between June 2009 and June 2011 at 42 ...

Multimodality imaging in heart valve disease [PDF]
Open Heart, 2016 In patients with heart valve disease, echocardiography is the mainstay for diagnosis, assessment and serial surveillance. However, other modalities, notably cardiac MRI and CT, are used if echocardiographic imaging is suboptimal but can also give complementary information to improve assessment of the valve lesion and cardiac compensation to aid the ...

Mechanisms of heart valve development and disease [PDF]
Development, 2020 ABSTRACT 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 is subject to blood flow-driven forces.

Heart valve disease in elderly
World 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. Surgical treatment has been considered for years to be the treatment of choice.

Quadruple Valve Replacement for Carcinoid Heart Disease [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 Carcinoid heart disease most frequently involves the tricuspid or, more rarely, the pulmonary valve and presents with right heart failure as 5-HT is metabolized by the lung. Left-sided valve involvement is quite rare. We describe our experience of 3 patients presenting with heart failure secondary to carcinoid heart disease affecting all four cardiac ...

Innovations in Therapies for Heart Valve Disease
Circulation Journal, 2011 The burden of heart valve disease among adults is enormous in the developed world. Increased life expectancy and age-related valvular degeneration remain the predominant contributors to heart valve dysfunction, which if uncorrected lead to congestive heart failure and increased morbidity and mortality.
