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.

An Overview of Sport Participation and Exercise Prescription in Mitral Valve Disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
The incidence of heart valve disease (HVD) has been rising over the last few decades, mainly due to the increasing average age of the general population, and mitral valve (MV) disease is the second most prevalent HVD after calcific aortic stenosis, but ...

Valvar heart disease and prosthetic heart valves

BMJ, 2002
Thromboembolism and anticoagulant related bleeding are major life threatening complications in patients with valvar heart disease and those with prosthetic heart valves. In these patients effective and safe antithrombotic therapy is indicated to reduce the risks of thromboembolism while keeping bleeding complications to a minimum.

Natural history of aortic valve disease after rheumatic mitral valve surgery: implications for concomitant aortic intervention

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) frequently affects both mitral and aortic valves. While mitral valve replacement (MVR) is often prioritized, the natural history of coexisting aortic valve disease particularly when mild or moderate is less well ...

Ventricular pressure-volume loop and other heart function metrics can elucidate etiology of failure of TAVI and interventions

REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.)
Aortic valve stenosis is one of the most acute and chronic cardiovascular disease conditions. Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart abnormality and affected individuals have a 50% chance of developing severe aortic valve ...

Hydrogel platforms for 3D cardiac tissue engineering and fibrotic disease modelling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based cardiac tissue models are advancing our understanding of heart health and disease. By incorporating electrical conductivity, aligned structures, and tunable mechanical properties, these platforms better replicate the complex environment of native heart tissue.

Prediction of hospital mortality in patients with left-sided infective endocarditis using a score in the first hours of admission

Scientific Reports
Infective endocarditis is an infection of the endocardium, associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly when the left heart chambers are involved. Timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention can attenuate these outcomes.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Hospitalization Rates due to Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2023
Backgrounds: Studies have shown a decline in the admission rates of various diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a rare condition followed by surgical or transcatheter valvular interventions.
