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 ...

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
, 2012 Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

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.

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 ...

Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]
, 2011 Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...

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 ...

Large-scale Quality Control of Cardiac Imaging in Population Studies: Application to UK Biobank [PDF]
, 2019 In large population studies such as the UK Biobank (UKBB), quality control of the acquired images by visual assessment is unfeasible. In this paper, we apply a recently developed fully-automated quality control pipeline for cardiac MR (CMR) images to the
