Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

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

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
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 ...

The lottery of mitral valve repair surgery
Valve repair, where feasible, rather than valve replacement is the guideline recommended treatment for severe mitral regurgitation. To characterise 'real-world' clinical practice data were reviewed on 12 255 mitral valve operations performed in the UK ...

ABSTRACT Background Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a congenital heart disorder involving tricuspid valve dysplasia and right heart abnormalities resulting in severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Multiple techniques assess regurgitation severity, but their correlation with EA severity markers remains unclear. Purpose To compare MRI techniques for quantifying
