Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis of Surgical Strategies Versus Medical Management for Rheumatic Heart Disease in Rwanda

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background One‐third of the global rheumatic heart disease burden lies in sub‐Saharan Africa, where 17% of patients with severe rheumatic heart disease die within 3 years without valve surgery.

Anticoagulation for pregnant patients with mechanical heart valves

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2007
Management of a pregnant patient with mechanical heart valve is a complex issue for all health care providers involved in the care of such patients. Complications may arise at any stage due to the increased haemodynamic load imposed by pregnancy or because of impaired cardiac performance often seen in these patients.

Quantitative Histological Examination of Mechanical Heart Valves [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2005
Histological demonstration of microorganisms, vegetations, or active endocarditis in cardiac valve tissue is included in the Duke criteria and is considered to be a criterion of confirmed infective endocarditis. However, the histological features that characterize infective endocarditis are not accurately defined at the qualitative and quantitative ...

Recellularization of decellularized heart valves: Progress toward the tissue-engineered heart valve

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2017
The tissue-engineered heart valve portends a new era in the field of valve replacement. Decellularized heart valves are of great interest as a scaffold for the tissue-engineered heart valve due to their naturally bioactive composition, clinical relevance

Mechanically activated piezo channels modulate outflow tract valve development through the Yap1 and Klf2-Notch signaling axis

eLife, 2019
Mechanical forces are well known for modulating heart valve developmental programs. Yet, it is still unclear how genetic programs and mechanosensation interact during heart valve development.

Functional non-glutaraldehyde treated porcine pericardium for anti-coagulation, anti-calcification, and endothelial proliferation bioprosthetic heart valves

Journal of Leather Science and Engineering, 2022
In the last decade, the number of transcatheter heart valve replacement for severe heart valve disease has increased exponentially. Although the bioprosthetic artificial heart valve (BHV) has similar fluid dynamics performance to the original heart valve
