How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]

, 2020
The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.

Mitral regurgitation at the time of left ventricular assist device implantation: Should it be treated or not?Central MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: Mitral regurgitation may persist or progress after left ventricular assist device implantation. However, whether preexisting mitral regurgitation should be corrected at the time of implantation remains to be determined.

Association between the proportionality of functional mitral regurgitation and survival after mitral valve operationCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: The concept of proportionate and disproportionate functional mitral regurgitation suggests that transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair may benefit patients with a smaller left ventricle relative to a higher regurgitant burden.

Midterm Outcomes of Pediatric Mitral Valvuloplasty for Moderate to Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation and Associated Risk Factors for Postoperative Deterioration [PDF]

Texas Heart Institute Journal
Background: Mitral valvuloplasty is considered the best treatment for pediatric mitral valve regurgitation. The objective of this analysis was to identify risk factors for postoperative mitral valve regurgitation progression and evaluate valvuloplasty ...

Material transport in the left ventricle with aortic valve regurgitation

, 2018
This experimental in vitro work investigates material transport properties in a model left ventricle in the case of aortic regurgitation, a valvular disease characterized by a leaking aortic valve and consequently double-jet filling within the elastic ...

ASSESSMENT OF MITRAL REGURGITATION SEVERITY BY DIFFERENT ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC METHODS IN COMPARISON WITH LEFT VENTRICLE ANGIOGRAPHY

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background:Proximal isovelocity surface area method and mitral regurgitatant jet estimation (with its ratio to left atrium) are reliable methods for estimation of mitral regurgitation severity aiding in management strategy, precluding the use of other ...

Advances in transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background While rheumatic mitral stenosis has been effectively treated percutaneously for more than 20 years, mitral and tricuspid regurgitation treatment appear as a contemporary unmet need.
