Quadruple valve replacement in a patient with severe rheumatic heart disease

Echo Research and Practice, 2018
We present a patient with rheumatic heart disease involving all the heart valves. An intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography confirmed severe mitral stenosis, severe aortic regurgitation, severe tricuspid regurgitation and stenosis, and severe ...

Introduction

, 2016
The goal of this book is to develop a working hypothesis for mitral valve function in the beating heart. We have been studying the 4-D dynamics of the heart using biplane radiography of surgically implanted radiopaque markers for the past forty years,1 ...

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Only Neochordoplasty Achieves Physiological Trans-valvular Pressure Gradients After Repair Of Acute Posterior Leaflet Prolapse In Porcine Mitral Valves

, 2015
Objective: Minimizing resection and preserving leaflet tissue has been previously shown to be beneficial for mitral valve function and leaflet kinematics after repair of acute posterior leaflet prolapse in porcine valves.

Mitral valves: a computational framework

, 2014
The mitral valve (MV) is one of the four heart valves which locates in between the left atrium and left ventricle and regulates the unidirectional blood flow and normal functioning of the heart during cardiac cycles.

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Pitfalls in TAMVI: experience with the repositionable Lotus® Valve System

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2017
Background Simultaneous transapical implantation of transcatheter heart valves in the native mitral and aortic position may be considered as an alternative to surgical valve replacement in high-risk patients presenting with combined valve disease.

Frequency of the first heart sound in the assessment of stiffening of mitral bioprosthetic valves.

, 1981
The frequency spectrum of the first heart sound (S1) was measured noninvasively in 54 patients with porcine bioprosthetic valves inserted in the mitral position.
