Less Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery via Right Minithoracotomy [PDF]
Background/PurposeCurrent trends in cardiac surgical intervention are moving toward less invasiveness, with smaller wound or sternum-sparing, less pump time or off-pump, and beating rather than arrested heart.

In‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of drug abuse detection in acute heart failure
Abstract Aims The study aims to assess the in‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of recent drug abuse use, detected by a systematic urinary screening, in a consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods All patients admitted for AHF with a drug abuse screening using a urinary assay were included in this

Hammock mitral valve: A rare case report
Congenital mitral stenosis is a relatively rare disorder comprising 0.2% of all congenital heart defects. Hammock mitral valve producing severe mitral stenosis is a rare variant of congenital mitral stenosis.

Simulation of left ventricle fluid dynamics with mitral regurgitation from magnetic resonance images with fictitious elastic structure regularization [PDF]
Computer modeling can provide quantitative insight into cardiac fluid dynamics phenomena that are not evident from standard imaging tools. We propose a new approach to modeling left ventricle fluid dynamics based on an image-driven model-based description of ventricular motion. In this approach, the end-diastolic geometry and time-dependent deformation

Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Mitral valve replacement at Tygerberg Hospital: a 5 year follow-up
This study provides 5-year follow-up data of isolated mitral valve replacements with mechanical prosthesis at a large South African tertiary hospital. It also assessed the significance of pre-operative parameters to predict mortality.

Management of tricuspid regurgitation in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement for rheumatic mitral valve diseases [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In mitral valve diseases associated with long standing pulmonary hypertension,Tricuspid annulus dilates and fails to shorten during systole leading to Tricuspid regurgitation.Tricuspid regurgitation contributes to both the morbidity and ...

Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty in comparison with open mitral valve commissurotomy for mitral stenosis during pregnancy [PDF]
OBJECTIVES We sought to compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of patients with severe mitral stenosis submitted to percutaneous balloon dilation Versus open mitral valve commissurotomy (MVC) during pregnancy.BACKGROUND Heart failure in patients with ...

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.
