Longitudinal Outcomes Following Mitral Valve Repair for Infective Endocarditis

Microorganisms
Mitral valve repair is the ideal approach in managing mitral valve infective endocarditis for patients requiring surgery. However, viable repair is influenced by the extent of valve destruction and there can be technical challenges in reconstruction ...

How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]

, 2020
The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1474-1478, April 2025.
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

Elevated Mitral Valve Pressure Gradient Is Predictive of Long‐Term Outcome After Percutaneous Edge‐to‐Edge Mitral Valve Repair in Patients With Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation (MR), But Not in Functional MR

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background This study analyzed the effects on long‐term outcome of residual mitral regurgitation (MR) and mean mitral valve pressure gradient (MVPG) after percutaneous edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system.
