Transapical transcatheter mitral valve implantation with J-valve in patients with degenerated mitral bioprostheses

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background Due to the widespread application of bioprosthetic valve in the treatment of mitral valve disease in recent years, the incidence of valve failure has increased significantly, which is facing the need of reoperation.

Mitral valve alternans

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
An echogram showing mitral valve alternans was recorded in a patient with advanced cardiomyopathy and pulsus alternans induced by premature ventricular depolarizations. Decreased left ventricular emptying by the weak beat was followed by blunting of the subsequent mitral valve E point, a finding compatible with a significant elevation of left ...

What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Exploring spatial understanding and cognitive load using ultrasound in learning cardiac anatomy: A pilot study

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ultrasound (US) appears to complement traditional anatomy teaching, limited objective data exist on its efficacy. Existing literature often relies on student perceptions rather than performance‐based outcomes. Additionally, the role of spatial understanding (SU)—the ability to mentally manipulate and interpret 3D anatomical ...

Degenerative mitral valve regurgitation: best practice revolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Degenerative mitral valve disease often leads to leaflet prolapse due to chordal elongation or rupture, and resulting in mitral valve regurgitation. Guideline referral for surgical intervention centres primarily on symptoms and ventricular dysfunction ...
