Mitral Valve Repair in Children With Rheumatic Heart Disease [PDF]

ACC Current Journal Review, 2005
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term results of mitral valve repair in children with chronic rheumatic heart disease.From January 1988 through December 2003, 278 children (153 male children) underwent mitral valve repair. Mean age was 11.7 +/- 2.9 years (range, 2-15 years).

Study of the normal heart size in Northwest part of Iranian population: a cadaveric study [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2016
Introduction: The heart is in a muscular organ in the middle mediastinum. According to our knowledge, there is no standard data about the anthropologic parameters of normal Iranian hearts. Hence, the aim of the present study was to investigate the normal

Improvement of Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease in Patients Undergoing Prolonged Antibiotic Prophylaxis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Secondary prophylaxis of rheumatic heart diseases is efficient in reducing disease recurrence, heart damage, and cardiac impairment. We aimed to monitor the clinical evolution of a large Brazilian cohort of rheumatic patients under prolonged secondary ...

Is rheumatic aetiology a predictor of poor outcome in the current era of mitral valve repair? Contemporary long-term results of mitral valve repair in rheumatic heart disease.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2013
OBJECTIVES Contemporary experience with mitral valve (MV) repair in the rheumatic population is limited. We aimed to examine the long-term outcomes of rheumatic MV repair, to identify the predictors of durability and to compare the repair for rheumatic ...

A Human Engineered Heart Tissue‐Derived Lipotoxic Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Model Revealed Early Benefits of Empagliflozin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

Atrial Fibroblasts‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Exacerbate Atrial Arrhythmogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Exosome miR‐224‐5p derived from angiotensin II‐treated atrial fibroblasts creates a substrate for AF by promoting atrial electrical remodeling. Increased exosome miR‐224‐5p enhances AF susceptibility by inhibiting CACNA1c expression and decreasing ICa current of atrial cardiomyocytes.

'Edge-to-edge' mitral valve repair: the ace of hearts [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2006
A 32-year-old man underwent a successful surgical correction of a severe mitral regurgitation. The surgical procedure consisted of an ‘edge-to-edge’ repair of the valve, connecting the mid-portion of the anterior and posterior leaflets, associated with implantation of a mitral annuloplasty ring (Sovering O 38 mm; …
