Predictors of sustained reverse remodelling in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
In this retrospective, observational study of a real‐life cohort of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, long‐term survival was improved in patients who achieved sustained reverse remodeling. Greater increases in ejection fraction (EF) and reductions in left ventricular end‐systolic diameter at the time of EF recovery, greater ...

Ankylosing Spondyloarthritis Resulting Severe Aortic Insufficiency and Aortitis: Exacerbation of Ankylosing Spondyloarthritis and Stenosis of the Main Left Coronary Artery after Mechanical Aortic Valve Implantation with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Case Reports in Rheumatology, 2020
Ankylosing spondyloarthritis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, strongly related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27. Cardiac involvement in AS manifests in 2 to 10% of patients as aortic insufficiency, aortitis, mitral valve fibrosis, or

Global myocardial work index predicts response to biventricular pacing in patients with non‐left bundle branch block

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF) and wide QRS complex. However, patients with non‐left bundle branch block (LBBB) show a poor response to CRT. This study evaluated myocardial work estimated by pressure–strain loops on echocardiography for predicting response to CRT in ...

Transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair of atrial secondary mitral regurgitation positively influences atrial remodelling

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Atrial secondary mitral valve regurgitation (ASMR) is a distinct anatomical subset of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). Evidence of the effect of transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) on left atrial (LA) anatomy and function, especially reverse remodelling (LARR), is still sparse.

Cavernous hemangioma of the mitral valve – a rare heart tumor. А clinical case [PDF]

Кардіохірургія та інтервенційна кардіологія, 2018
The article presents a clinical case of a rare benign heart neoplasm – a cavernous mitral valve hemangioma. Infiltrative growth of the tumor led to deformation of the valve with the development of mitral insufficiency and its replacement with a ...

Elevated antistreptolysin O titer is closely related to cardiac mitral insufficiency in untreated patients with Takayasu arteritis

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background The etiology of Takayasu arteritis (TA) is unknown; however, a possible relationship between streptococcal infection and TA has been proposed.

A novel mathematical technique to assess of the mitral valve dynamics based on echocardiography [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Purpose: The mechanics of the mitral valve leaflet as a nonlinear, inelastic and anisotropic soft tissue results from an integrated response of many mathematical/physical indexes' that illustrate the tissue. In the past decade, finite element modeling of complete heart valves has greatly aided evaluation of heart valve surgery, design of bioprosthetic ...

Dapagliflozin effect on functional mitral regurgitation and myocardial remodelling: The DEFORM trial

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure, and current guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) offers limited efficacy in managing FMR. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic impact of the sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin in patients with ...

Cardiac surgery in a patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis and heart valvulopathy, both due to pergolide medication for Parkinson's disease

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2009
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is best described as a chronic inflammatory process which may be idiopathic, but can rarely be brought about by medications, such as pergolide, used for treating Parkinson's disease.

Quality of life in heart failure. The heart of the matter. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association and the European Association of Preventive Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
For most patients with chronic, progressive illnesses, maintaining good quality of life (QoL), with preserved functional capacity, is just as crucial as prolonging survival. Patients with heart failure (HF) experience much worse QoL and effort intolerance than both the general population and people with other chronic conditions, since they present a ...
