Long-term mortality associated with left ventricular dysfunction in mitral regurgitation due to flail leaflets: A multicenter analysis [PDF]
Ejection fraction (EF) as a marker of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and the appropriate thresholds for diagnosing severe or mild/moderate LV dysfunction in mitral regurgitation are doubted and poorly followed in clinical practice.

The role of transcatheter mitral valve leaflet approximation for the treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation: current status and future prospects. [PDF]
Introduction: Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is one of the most common valvulopathies and is associated with poor prognosis. Over the past years, medical management and mitral valve repair options have rapidly evolved offering new opportunities for

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Ischaemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]
A 79-year-old woman with a history of treated hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation was referred because of increasing shortness of breath at minimal exercise. Blood pressure was 110/49 mmHg, heart rate 80 b.p.m. (peak exercise rate 146 b.p.m.), and brain natriuretic peptide 86 pg/mL. Myocardial perfusion scan [ Panel A : stress (upper …
