Computational fluid dynamics modelling of left valvular heart diseases during atrial fibrillation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background: Although atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, frequently presents in patients with underlying valvular disease, its hemodynamic contributions are not fully understood.

Mitral valve replacement at Tygerberg Hospital: a 5 year follow-up [PDF]
SA Heart Journal, 2017 This study provides 5-year follow-up data of isolated mitral valve replacements with mechanical prosthesis at a large South African tertiary hospital. It also assessed the significance of pre-operative parameters to predict mortality.

Mitral valve area in combined mitral stenosis and regurgitation. [PDF]
Circulation, 1976 Eight patients with mixed mitral stenosis and regurgitation underwent hemodynamic and angiographic study prior to mitral valve replacement. The stenotic orifice of the mitral valve was calculated employing the total left ventricular stroke volume by cineangiography as the numerator of the Gorlin Formula. Excellent agreement with the measured orifice of

Combined Aortic and Mitral Valve Stenosis in Mucopolysaccharidosis Syndrome Type I-S: A Report of a Rare Case [PDF]
Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2021 Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) syndrome is an inherited metabolic disorder. In more than half of the patients with MPS syndrome, heart valve involvement is reported; however, combined aortic and mitral valve stenosis in MPS syndrome type I-S is very rare ...

Immediate Results of Percutaneous Trans-Luminal Mitral Commissurotomy in Pregnant Women with Severe Mitral Stenosis [PDF]
Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2012 Background Valvular heart diseases and mainly rheumatic heart diseases complicate about 1% of pregnancies. During pregnancy physiological hemodynamic changes of the circulation are the main cause of mitral stenosis (MS) decompensation.

Balloon dilatation of isolated severe tricuspid valve stenosis [PDF]
Indian Heart Journal, 2015 Tricuspid valve stenosis is mostly rheumatic in origin. It almost always occurs in association with mitral valve disease. There are only few case reports of isolated tricuspid valve stenosis.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with concomitant mitral stenosis [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2018 AIMS Multivalvular disease is of increasing concern in elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The objective of the present analysis was to investigate the impact of concomitant mitral stenosis (MS) on clinical outcomes
