Short-course thrombolysis as the first line of therapy for cardiac valve thrombosis [PDF]
Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic criteria of thrombolytic therapy for mechanical heart valve thrombosis. Methods: Nineteen consecutive patients with 22 instances of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (14 mitral, 2 ...

Early, intensive, post‐acute cardiac rehabilitation programs significantly improve functional capacity and disability in LVAD patients, similar to HFrEF patients admitted to the same program. Data support scientific recommendations suggesting implementation of early intensive cardiac rehabilitation in LVAD patients. ABSTRACT Background Left Ventricular

Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered flow may play a

Design of a Soft Robotic Artificial Cardiac Wall
ABSTRACT Background In cardiovascular engineering, the recent introduction of soft robotic technologies sheds new light on the future of implantable cardiac devices, enabling the replication of complex bioinspired architectures and motions. To support human heart function, assistive devices and total artificial hearts have been developed.

PROGRESSION OF AORTIC AND VALVULAR HEART DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS
Involvement of the aorta and heart valves in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a manifestation of the systemic inflammatory process. Data on the frequency, clinical significance, and evolution of these manifestations are controversial.Objective: to estimate

Ultrasound Assessment of Venous and Pulmonary Congestion in Left Ventricular Assist Devices Patients
Renal venous stasis index (RVI) of Doppler renal ultrasound index is the peripheral vein ultrasound associated with high right atrial pressure, and right displacement of the interatrial septum is the echocardiographic parameter associated with high pulmonary wedge pressure.
