MitraClip-procedure with two Mitra-Clips after indirect anuloplasty with the MONARC-device
: Mitral regurgitation is associated with a worsened prognosis in dilated cardiomyopathy. First standard therapy consists of a mitral valve reconstruction through heart surgery including heart lung machine.

In Vitro Flow Modelling for Mitral Valve Leakage Quantification [PDF]
In this study particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to measure and visualise the blood flow through a leaking mitral heart valve. The results are compared with the results from Doppler echocardiography and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Using CAD,

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Predictive power of different obesity measures for the presence of diastolic dysfunction [PDF]
Objective: Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as measures of obesity have some limitations. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether one measure could predict the presence of diastolic dysfunction (DD) more accurately than the other ...

Cardiac remodelling in the era of the recommended four pillars heart failure medical therapy
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is a key determinant of worse cardiovascular outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It affects both the left ventricle (LV) structure and function as well as the left atrium (LA) and the right ventricle (RV).

Prediction model for degeneration behaviour of mitral valve [PDF]
Degenerative mitral valve prolapse without proper monitoring can cause severe mitral valve failure and occasionally lead to sudden death if the surgical correction is not performed on time.

Interventional therapies for chronic heart failure: An overview of recent developments
Abstract Heart failure (HF), the final manifestation of most cardiovascular diseases, has become a major global health concern, affecting millions of individuals. Despite basic drug treatments, patients present with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recent advancements in interventional therapy have shown promising results in improving the ...
