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.

Diagnosis of mitral insufficiency using impedance cardiography technique ICG
Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance, 2016 Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive tool for assessing the hemodynamic parameters. It has been used for diagnosing several cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, cardio-myopathy, and valvular diseases. Particularly, the valvular heart
