Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Quadrivalvular rheumatic heart disease
Rarely, rheumatic heart disease (RHD) involves all the four valves and causes could be rheumatic, congenital, infective, or degenerative. Here, we report a case of a 42-year-old female known case RHD for 30 years and underwent closed mitral ...

Study of mitral valve in human cadaveric hearts
The mitral valve is a complex structure that is altered by disease states. The classical image of the mitral valve is a bicuspid valve with two leaflets and two papillary muscles. The reason for the present study is to study the morphology and morphometry of the mitral valve.This study was carried out on 116 human cadaveric hearts.

Transapical Beating Heart Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
Repair of mitral valve (MV) leaflet prolapse using chordal replacement is an established procedure in open heart surgery for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). The technique has proven high reproducibility and excellent long-term outcomes for posterior leaflet prolaspe, with freedom from valve-related reoperation of >95%.1, 2 Striving toward a

Mathematical, Algorithmic and Software Support for Phonocardiographic Signal Processing to Detect Mitral Insufficiency of Human Heart Valves [PDF]
Mathematical support for phonocardiographic signal processing has been developed based on a mathematical model in the form of a periodically correlated stochastic process and a component processing method.
