SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Right ventricle to pulmonary artery coupling as a prognostic factor in tricuspid regurgitation: A systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The TAPSE/SPAP ratio is associated with worse prognosis in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation and could indicate at‐risk patients. The exact cutoff value for RV‐PA uncoupling remains difficult to define and in available studies ranged from 0.26 to 0.49 mm/mmHg.

Starr-Edwards Mechanical Prosthesis for More Than 53 Years in the Mitral Position: A Case Report

International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy
Valvular heart disease affects approximately 2.5% of the global population. Starr-Edwards (SE) prosthetic valves are commonly used in the aortic and mitral positions, with reported durability extending up to 40 years.

The impact of sub-valvular apparatus preservation on prosthetic valve dysfunction during mitral valve replacement

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013
Background: Sub-valvular apparatus preservation (SAP) during mitral valve replacement (MVR) is not a new concept. Some surgeons prefer to excise the apparatus.

Computation of incompressible viscous flows through artificial heart devices with moving boundaries [PDF]

The extension of computational fluid dynamics techniques to artificial heart flow simulations is illustrated. Unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations written in 3-D generalized curvilinear coordinates are solved iteratively at each physical time ...

Percutaneous endocardial alginate–hydrogel injection in the treatment of heart failure: First‐in‐human study

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Using EndoWings™ and XDROP™, we developed a percutaneous minimally invasive technique for sequential circumferential alginate hydrogel injection into LV free mid‐wall. This human study assessed its safety/feasibility in HFrEF patients, with personalised biomechanical models.

Valva mitral heteróloga sem suporte: resultados clínicos a médio prazo Heterologous mitral stentless valve: mid-term clinical results

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 1996
OBJETIVO: O uso da prótese mitral porcina sem suporte ("Stentless") propicia manutenção das características de fluxo e contratilidade do ventrículo esquerdo. No presente estudo, são analisados os resultados a médio prazo com o uso desse substituto valvar.
