Porcelain Aorta and Radiation-Induced Mitral Annular Calcification Are Not Contraindications to Surgery

JACC Case Reports
We describe the case of a 52-year-old man with radiation-induced severe mixed aortic and mitral valve disease, thickening of the aortomitral continuity, mitral annular calcification, and porcelain aorta with limited transcatheter treatment options.

Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, September 2026.
LAAS and LAASR were independent factors contributing to AF recurrence. Incremental value of LAAS and LAASR in risk prediction of AF recurrence. ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive ...

Hybrid Mitral Valve Replacement

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
Mitral annular calcification tends to be significant in patients of advanced age or with underlying processes such as increased mechanical stress. When severe, it can significantly affect perioperative outcomes, especially if mitral decalcification is ...

The Systolic Anterior Motion After Mitral Valve Repair: A Narrative Review of Current Therapeutic Algorithms in the Operating Room

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Systolic anterior motion (SAM) represents the displacement of the anterior mitral leaflet during ventricular systole toward the interventricular septum, causing an obstruction of the outflow tract. Most of the published data regards the primary SAM that is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This review was focused

Prophylactic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Septal Ablation Before Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
An 82-year-old woman with severe respiratory distress and limitations in functional status was found to have severe mitral valve stenosis with annular calcification and referred for transcatheter mitral valve replacement.

Neurocardiology: Brain–Heart Interactions in the Heart

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
The heart and brain maintain systemic homeostasis through bidirectional communication involving neural, biochemical, and mechanical pathways. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes to a spectrum of conditions involving heart–brain interactions, including Takotsubo syndrome, the epileptic heart, stroke–heart syndrome, heart failure, cardiac ...

Cardiac volumes, function, and arterial stiffness five years after severe preeclampsia: A comparison with sedentary and active controls

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Aims Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension and multiorgan failure related to endothelial damage. It is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, but pathophysiological mechanisms are unclear, and strategies to identify women at risk are missing.

CONDUCTION DISTURBANCES ASSOCIATED WITH MITRAL ANULAR CALCIFICATION [PDF]

, 1987
To investigate the apparent association of mitral anular calcification (MAC) and electrocardiographic abnormalities, the relation between the location of two-dimensional (2D) echoquantified MAC and conduction distrubances was studied in 140 patients with
