A deep learning approach to using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) for diagnosing aortic valve stenosis and predicting aortic hemodynamics obtained by 4D flow MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we explored the use of deep learning for the prediction of aortic flow metrics obtained using 4D flow MRI using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) devices. 4D flow MRI provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics, but it is costly and time-consuming.

Interactive-Automatic Segmentation and Modelling of the Mitral Valve [PDF]
, 2019 Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common valvular disease, affecting 10% of the population over 75 years old. Left untreated, patients with mitral valve regurgitation can suffer declining cardiac health until cardiac failure and death. Mitral valve repair is generally preferred over valve replacement. However, there is a direct correlation between

Ease of sutureless aortic valve replacement in a patient with unexpected ochronosis: a case report
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Alkaptonuria is a rare congenital metabolic disorder characterized by homogentisic acid accumulation in body cartilage and connective tissues due to a deficient homogentisic acid dioxygenase enzyme.

Reduced-order modeling of left ventricular flow subject to aortic valve regurgitation [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 31(3), 031901 (2019), 2019 The present focus of heart flow studies is largely based on flow within the left ventricle and how this flow changes when subject to disease. However, despite recent advancements, a simple tractable model of even healthy left ventricular flow has not been produced and made available.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve: Morphology, Clinic, Diagnosis, Complications
Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2021 Bicuspid aortic valve refers to common (0.5-2% of the population) congenital heart defects that are asymptomatic throughout life, with valve dysfunction and/or aortopathy (pathia- from Greek pathos disease), manifested by expansion, aneurysm or ...

Fluid dynamics of heart valves during atrial fibrillation: a lumped parameter-based approach [PDF]
, 2015 Atrial fibrillation (AF) consequences on the heart valve dynamics are usually studied along with a valvular disfunction or disease, since in medical monitoring the two pathologies are often concomitant. Aim of the present work is to study, through a stochastic lumped-parameter approach, the basic fluid dynamics variations of heart valves, when only ...

Valvulopathies and Genetics: Where are We?
Reviews in Cardiovascular MedicineValvulopathies are among the most common cardiovascular diseases, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality. While many valvular heart diseases are acquired later in life, an important genetic component has been described, particularly in mitral ...

Antithrombotic Treatment After Surgical and Transcatheter Heart Valve Repair and Replacement
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 New antithrombotic drugs have been developed, new valve types have been designed and minimally invasive transcatheter techniques have emerged, making the choice of antithrombotic therapy after surgical or transcatheter heart valve repair and replacement ...

Medicine, 2015 Structural deficiencies and functional abnormalities of heart valves represent an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and a number of diseases, such as aortic stenosis, have been recently associated with infectious agents.
