Circulating growth differentiation factor‐15 levels are associated with early echocardiographic signs of diastolic function impairment in the STANISLAS cohort: A 20‐year follow‐up study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design and key findings. The (+) and (−) signs mean that the variable has a positive or a negative association with growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF‐15) levels in the fully adjusted model (age, gender, current smoker, body mass index, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide ...

Mitral valve operations at a high-volume pediatric heart center: Evolving techniques and improved survival with mitral valve repair versus replacement

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
Mitral valve disease is quite variable and can occur as an isolated defect or in association with other complex left sided lesions. These lesions are often best described with detailed pre-operative imaging studies to define the valve anatomy and to ...

The use of left ventricular ejection fraction in the diagnosis and management of heart failure. A clinical consensus statement of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC, the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), and the Japanese Heart Failure Society (JHFS)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract This clinical consensus statement revisits the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as a measurement of cardiac function, a prognostic marker and a major criterion to classify patients with heart failure, and gives new advice for clinical practice.

Choosing the “Best” surgical techniques for mitral valve repair: Lessons from the literature

open access: yesJournal of cardiac surgery, 2019
Mitral valve (MV) repair is the procedure of choice to correct mitral regurgitation caused by degenerative MV disease, due to its well‐documented superiority over MV replacement. Repair of the MV is feasible in more than 95% of such patients and restores

Clinical and plasma proteomic characterization of heart failure with supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction: An emerging entity of heart failure

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Heart failure (HF) with supranormal ejection fraction (HFsnEF) is an unnoticed but emerging entity in HF. This study showed that HFsnEF carries a similarly increased cardiovascular risk as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and distinct structural and proteomic characteristics from HFrEF, warranting a further comprehensive understanding and ...

Best treatment option for secondary mitral regurgitation surgery: a network meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized controlled studies

open access: yesScientific Reports
The objective of this study is to ascertain whether subvalvular papillary muscle repair in conjunction with restrictive mitral valve annuloplasty represents the most efficacious treatment for patients presenting with secondary ischemic mitral ...

Pushing boundaries in cardiac surgery: minimally invasive mitral valve repair combined with tricuspid valve repair and/or other concomitant procedures

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
IntroductionMinimally invasive mitral valve repair/replacement has emerged as a widely accepted surgical approach for managing mitral valve disorders.

An Asymptomatic Patient with Severe Mitral Regurgitation

open access: yesCardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2018
In primary mitral regurgitation there are anatomic abnormalities of the mitral valve causing backward flow, placing a hemodynamic burden on the left ventricle.
