Heart valve tissue‐derived hydrogels: Preparation and characterization of mitral valve chordae, aortic valve, and mitral valve gels

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 2018
AbstractHeart valve (HV) diseases are among the leading causes of death and continue to threaten public health worldwide. The current clinical options for HV replacement include mechanical and biological prostheses. However, an ongoing problem with current HV prostheses is their failure to integrate with the host tissue and their inability grow and ...

Impact of epicardial adipose tissue on myocardial function and structure in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to adverse remodelling and outcomes in aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet mechanisms remain unclear. In 137 patients with severe AS undergoing CMR before TAVR, higher EAT (≥46.5 ml/m2) was associated with impaired left atrial (LA) reservoir strain, while ventricular morphology, function and tissue ...

Determinants of diuresis/natriuresis following ambulatory intravenous loop diuretics for worsening heart failure

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The use of intravenous (IV) diuretics in an outpatient setting may represent an alternative to conventional hospitalization. Our objective was to identify factors associated with diuretic response during ambulatory IV diuretic sessions in a population of advanced heart failure with no therapeutic project and a frequent flyer profile.
