Tricuspid valve diseases: Interventions on the forgotten heart valve
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2020Over the past few decades, the tricuspid valve (TV) interventions have been relatively lower compared to other cardiac valvular disease in terms of pathophysiology and management, especially regarding surgical intervention and therapy. However, recent crucial advances in assessment and management of the TV disease have resulted in a renewed interest in

Heart valve disease: mixed valve disease, multiple valve disease, and others
2016Abstract Multiple and mixed heart valve disease are highly prevalent. Echocardiography is the cornerstone technique for imaging these patients. As with patients with single-valve stenosis or regurgitation, one should aim to evaluate the aetiology, the mechanism(s) of dysfunction, as well as the consequences and the possibility of repair.

The modern epidemiology of heart valve disease
Heart, 2015### Learning objectives In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge of heart valve disease (HVD) epidemiology, how it has changed over time and possible future trends. There are large differences in HVD epidemiology between high-income and low-income countries and across different forms of HVD.

Clinical trials in heart valve disease
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2009To summarize evidence from clinical trials of heart valve disease and identify areas where further trials are needed.Recent randomized studies suggest that statins do not influence progression of aortic stenosis. Other medical therapies with the potential to reduce progression of valve disease or decrease myocardial dysfunction include vasodilators in ...

Rheumatic valve disease remains prevalent in developing countries, but over the last 50 years there has been a decline in the incidence of rheumatic valve disease and an increase in the prevalence of degenerative valve pathology in northern Europe and North America. In all forms of valve disease, the most appropriate initial diagnostic investigation is

Valve Surgery in Congenital Heart Disease
Artificial Organs, 2009AbstractCongenital valve disease (CVD) occurs in isolated form or as part of complex malformations and presents distinct epidemiology, including: young age at onset; high prevalence of associated pathology; history of prior operations; critical clinical presentation.

Pregnancy and native heart valve disease
Heart, 2016### Learning objectives Heart disease is the biggest killer of pregnant women in the developed world.1 Likewise, heart disease emerges as the main indirect (non-obstetric) cause of maternal death in low/middle-income countries once basic maternity services and sufficient infrastructure are in place.

Although valvular stenosis may be evaluated adequately by measuring transvalvular pressure gradients with Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, these methods have failed to provide reliable and accurate quantification of valvular regurgitation.
