Influence of involvement of anterior leaflet versus posterior leaflet on residual regurgitation as assessed by transesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing valve repair for mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2009
Background Repair of anterior leaflet prolapse is technically more challenging and this might influence outcomes as compared to the repair of posterior leaflet prolapse in patients undergoing surgical correction of mitral regurgitation.

The role of experience in echocardiographic identification of location and extent of mitral valve prolapse with 2D and 3D echocardiography [PDF]

, 2016
Contradiction exists on the incremental value of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) over 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the detection of mitral valve (MV) prolapse in readers with different echocardiographic ...

Comparative diagnostic accuracy study of point of care ultrasound techniques for detection of left atrial enlargement by hospital medicine physicians from archived echocardiogram images

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Prior studies of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) interpretation methods for identifying LAE utilized older echocardiographic reference ranges. Objectives Compare the test characteristics of hospitalist‐performed POCUS techniques for identifying ...

Immunomodulators, associated or not with systemic antibiotics, to treat periodontitis: A 1‐year multicenter, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind, randomized clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Immunomodulatory agents such as omega‐3 (ω‐3) and low‐dose aspirin (ASA) have been proposed as effective adjuncts in the treatment of periodontitis. However, they still lack long‐term studies and head‐to‐head evaluation with metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX), the adjunct protocol with the strongest scientific evidence of ...

3D echocardiography in mitral valve prolapse

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the leading cause of mitral valve surgery. Echocardiography is the principal imaging modality used to diagnose MVP, assess the mitral valve morphology and mitral annulus dynamics, and quantify mitral regurgitation.

Aetiology of sudden cardiac death in sport: a histopathologist's perspective. [PDF]

, 2012
In the UK, when a young person dies suddenly, the coroner is responsible for establishing the cause of death. They will ask a consultant pathologist to carry out an autopsy in order to ascertain when, where and how that person died.

Arrhythmogenic Mitral Valve Prolapse

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2022
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition present in 1–3% of the population. There has been evidence that a subset of MVP patients is at higher risk of sudden cardiac death. The arrhythmogenic mechanism is related to fibrotic changes in the papillary muscles caused by the prolapsing valve.

Emergent Presentation of Decompensated Mitral Valve Prolapse and Atrial Septal Defect

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2015
Mitral valve prolapse is not commonly on the list of differential diagnosis when a patient presents in the emergency department (ED) in severe distress, presenting with non-specific features such as abdominal pain, tachycardia and dyspnea.
