Postpartum anticoagulation in women with mechanical heart valves [PDF]

International Journal of Women's Health, 2018
Women with mechanical heart valves (MHV) requiring anticoagulation (AC) are at high risk for hemorrhagic complications. Despite guidelines to manage antenatal and peripartum AC, there are few evidence-based recommendations to guide the initiation of postpartum AC. We reviewed our institutional experience of pregnant women with MHV to lay the groundwork

MG53 Protein Protects Aortic Valve Interstitial Cells From Membrane Injury and Fibrocalcific Remodeling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The aortic valve of the heart experiences constant mechanical stress under physiological conditions. Maladaptive valve injury responses contribute to the development of valvular heart disease. Here, we test the hypothesis that MG53 (mitsugumin

Mechanical Heart Valves in Pregnancy [PDF]

Circulation, 2015
Caring for women with mechanical heart valves (MHVs) in pregnancy poses one of the greatest clinical challenges in our specialty. Pregnancy is a prothrombotic state because of the relative increases in fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitors, clotting factors, Von Willebrand factor, and platelet adhesion molecules, and concomitant decreases in ...
