Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT ON BEATING HEART;
Introduction: Cardiac reperfusion injury is a well-described complication occurringafter ischemia or following cardioplegic arrest. The primary aim of this study was to evaluateand compare safety of Mitral valve replacement on beating heart without using cross clampwith the conventional Mitral valve replacement.
