Histological assessment of the human heart valves and its relationship with age
The human heart valves are complex anatomical structures consisting of leaflets with many supporting structures. With advancing age, the microstructure of the components of the valves can change.

One-Year Outcomes of Mitral Valve-in-Valve Using the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve.
Importance Bioprosthetic mitral valves are implanted with increasing frequency but inevitably degenerate, leading to heart failure. Reoperation is associated with high morbidity and mortality.

AimsDietary cholesterol and palmitic acid are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) affecting the arteries and the heart valves. The ionizing radiation that is frequently used as an anticancer treatment promotes CVD.

Transcatheter valve interventions on the mitral and tricuspid valves entail increasing complexity. Part of the knowledge that has been generated during the development of mitral devices can be transferred to the tricuspid valve (TV).

Objective: To discuss the management in a subset of patients with severe mitral valve disease having calcified, nonpliable valves not suitable for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty during pregnancy, presenting with Stage III–IV of the clinical ...

Flow structure in healthy and pathological left ventricles with natural and prosthetic mitral valves
In this paper, the structure and the dynamics of the flow in the left heart ventricle are studied for different pumping efficiencies and mitral valve types (natural, biological and mechanical prosthetic).

Background: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement using aortic transcatheter heart valves has recently become an alternative for patients with degenerated mitral bioprostheses, failed surgical repairs with annuloplasty rings or severe mitral annular ...

Heart damage in ankylosing spondylitis
Objective. To study heart damage in pts with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by ECG and echocardiography (EchoCG). Material and methods. 344 pts with definite AS not older than 60 years without comorbid cardiac diseases examined in the Institute of ...

Collagen composition of normal and myxomatous human mitral heart valves.
The collagens were studied in 13 normal and 19 myxomatous human mitral valves. The collagens of the valve were completely solubilized by using a method consisting of guanidinium chloride extraction, limited pepsin digestions and CNBr cleavage of the ...
