High-sensitivity troponin I concentrations are a marker of an advanced hypertrophic response and adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis [PDF]
Aims: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays hold promise in detecting the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure in aortic stenosis.

Intracardiac Calcification - An Interesting Chest X-ray Report. [PDF]
We report a case of chest X-ray finding of mitral annular calcification. Mitral annular calcification is a degenerative process involving the fibrous annulus of the mitral valve.

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

A Case of an Unusual Clinical Course of Mitral Stenosis
Background. The stage 4 mitral stenosis is accompanied by atrial fibrillation which significantly worsens the prognosis due to the possibility of thromboembolic complications.

Heatmap-based 2D Landmark Detection with a Varying Number of Landmarks [PDF]
Mitral valve repair is a surgery to restore the function of the mitral valve. To achieve this, a prosthetic ring is sewed onto the mitral annulus. Analyzing the sutures, which are punctured through the annulus for ring implantation, can be useful in surgical skill assessment, for quantitative surgery and for positioning a virtual prosthetic ring model ...

Echocardiography in mitral stenosis
Echocardiography plays a major role in diagnosis, etiology and severity of Mitral Stenosis (MS), analysis of valve anatomy and decision-making for intervention. This technique has also a crucial role to assess consequences of MS and follow up of patients after medical or surgical intervention.

Objective To determine the optimal anticoagulation intensity of warfarin in a South‐East Asian population with moderate‐to‐severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. Methods A multicentre, retrospective study examined patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who had not undergone valve replacement or repair and required long‐term warfarin therapy at two ...

The right ventricle under pressure: Anatomy and imaging in sickness and health
The RV is essential to the homeostasis of normal physiology and disturbances in RV structure and function has a substantial effect on patient outcomes. This review sets out to describe the developmental and anatomical complexities of the right ventricle while exploring the modern techniques employed to image and understand its function from a clinical ...
