Abstract Long COVID has a complex pathology and a heterogeneous symptom profile that impacts quality of life and functional status. Post‐exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) affects one‐third of people living with long COVID, but the physiological basis of impaired physical function remains poorly understood. Sixty‐eight people (age (mean ± SD): 50 ±

Alfieri versus conventional repair for bileaflet mitral valve prolapseCentral MessagePerspective
Objective: Mitral valve repair for bileaflet prolapse can be complex, involving multiple chords or resection. The Alfieri technique for bileaflet disease is simple but may be associated with mitral stenosis or recurrent mitral regurgitation.

This meta‐analysis of six cohort studies (n = 1,183) found that athletes with transvenous or subcutaneous ICDs had 13% appropriate and 4% inappropriate shock rates, with no serious adverse events. Findings support individualized return‐to‐play decisions, considering arrhythmia type, ICD programming, and psychological support.

Early‐onset Marfan syndrome (eoMFS) is a rare disorder with atrioventricular valve insufficiency being the most severe symptom. We propose to regard eoMFS as a spectrum, ranging from a severe disorder life‐threatening already before or immediately after birth, to a disorder with a better survival rate, creating a window for atrioventricular valve ...
