Hormone therapy (HT) in women with premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause: Time to think of a new paradigm for healthy aging. A joint FIGO and IMS position paper

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause (EM) affect millions of women worldwide. Compared with normal menopause, they confer a longer duration of estrogen deficiency and are associated not only with a shorter lifespan, but with a reduced healthspan, owing to an increased risk of cardiovascular, skeletal, cognitive and ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Familial occurrence of mitral regurgitation in patients with mitral valve prolapse undergoing mitral valve surgery

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Initial studies have suggested the familial clustering of mitral valve prolapse, but most of them were either community based among unselected individuals or applied non-specific diagnostic criteria.

Methods of estimation of mitral valve regurgitation for the cardiac surgeon

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2009
Mitral valve regurgitation is a relatively common and important heart valve lesion in clinical practice and adequate assessment is fundamental to decision on management, repair or replacement.

Long-term outcome of isolated mitral valve repair versus replacement for degenerative mitral regurgitation in propensity-matched patients

open access: yes
Objective This study was performed to investigate the long-term outcomes in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing mitral valve repair (MVr) versus mitral valve replacement (MVR) without concomitant surgeries.

Autonomous Velocity Encoding (VENC) Selection Improves Precision of Quantitative Flow Measurement

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The optimal velocity encoding limit (VENC) in phase contrast MRI is subject‐specific because it depends on peak flow rate and the presence of flow jets. Currently, VENC is set manually with limited prior knowledge of the peak velocity. Setting the correct VENC might improve measurement precision or shorten scan times.

Exercise-induced mitral regurgitation is a predictor of morbid events in subjects with mitral valve prolapse [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Objectives.This study attempted to determine whether a subset of patients with mitral valve prolapse and no mitral regurgitation at rest will develop mitral regurgitation during exercise and have a higher than anticipated risk of morbid cardiovascular ...

Fate of moderate secondary mitral regurgitation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation

open access: yes, 2022
Objectives: Moderate secondary mitral regurgitation is common in patients with severe aortic regurgitation, but whether it has to be addressed at the time of aortic valve surgery remains unclear.
