Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Short-term outcomes of repair vs. replacement for rheumatic mitral valve disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe main types of surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease are traditional percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), mitral valve replacement (MVR) with removal of the original valve, and valve repair with preservation of the original

SPARCL1 and NT‐proBNP as biomarkers of right ventricular‐to‐pulmonary artery uncoupling in pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1416-1426, April 2025.
Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft by a Periareolar Approach

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
Use of coronary artery bypass for mitral valve repair in ischemic mitral regurgitation remains controversial. We present a case of a 52-year-old man with significant ischemic mitral regurgitation and coronary artery disease who underwent mitral valve ...

Pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging of the left ventricle in foals: Feasibility, inter‐ and intra‐observer variability and wave pattern over the first days of life

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) may improve the assessment of myocardial function in neonatal foals. Objectives To document the feasibility of left ventricular pulsed wave (PW) TDI, inter‐ and intra‐observer variability and wave pattern over the first 5 days of life. Study Design Prospective observational study.

Association Between HIV Infection Duration and Left Ventricular Concentric Remodeling and Myocardial Fibrosis: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using Cardiac MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antiretroviral therapy has transformed HIV into a chronic condition, yet cardiac injury remains a major issue. Purpose To assess the ability of cardiac MR imaging markers to predict cardiac injury and disease progression in HIV‐infected individuals. Study Type Prospective.

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

Journal 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.

Technologies in minimally invasive treatment of severe mitral regurgitation

Cardiology Journal
Mitral valve regurgitation is the second most common valve defect in Europe among adults. Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) results from structural abnormalities of the valve apparatus (e.g., leaflet prolapse, chordae rupture), often due to myxomatous ...

Outcomes following repair of bileaflet prolapse due to myxomatous disease of the mitral valve

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2014
Myxomatous disease represents the most common cause of MR due to bileaflet prolapse. Mitral valve repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) due to bileaflet prolapse poses many technical challenges.
