Prosthetic Heart Valves

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2014
Heart valve replacements improve symptoms and life expectancy but may have potential problems. Biological replacements have limited durability but do not require anticoagulation and are usually used for the relatively elderly. Mechanical valves have a virtually zero primary failure rate but require anticoagulation and are usually used for the ...

Bacterial Diversity in Native Heart Valves in Infective Endocarditis [PDF]

Biomedicines
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infectious disease caused by the hematogenous dissemination of bacteria into heart valves. Improving the identification of pathogens that cause IE is important to increase the effectiveness of its therapy and

Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Management of Native Atrioventricular Valve Regurgitation in Heart Failure Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Atrioventricular regurgitation is frequent in the setting of heart failure. It is due to atrial and ventricular remodelling, as well as rhythmic disturbances and loss of synchrony.
