Acoustic features are independently associated with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Acoustic analysis of speech has discriminated decompensated acute heart failure (HF). Speech rate (SR) and cepstral peak prominence (CPP) variation are among features previously evaluated. However, the association between SR and CPP and chronic stable HF with and without pulmonary hypertension (PH) as well as PH alone have not ...

The Influence of the Aortic Root Geometry on Flow Characteristics of a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Bileaflet mechanical heart valves have one of the most successful valve designs for more than 30 years. These valves are often used for aortic valve replacement, where the geometry of the aortic root sinuses may vary due to valvular disease and affect valve performance. Common geometrical sinus changes may be due to valve stenosis and insufficiency. In

Mitral bones in mitral stenosis: A rare presentation

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2017
Pulmonary ossification is described as mature bone formation with or without marrow elements in alveolar or interstitial spaces. Pulmonary ossification is a rare late sequelae that is virtually pathognomonic of mitral stenosis. Mitral bone is nothing but

Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

Transfemoral Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation With a Dedicated Device in a Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Patient

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
A 65-year-old obese woman with rheumatic heart disease and restrictive lung disease presented with decompensated heart failure. Evaluation demonstrated severely thickened mitral valve leaflets, severe mitral stenosis, and moderate mitral regurgitation ...

Severe tricuspid valve stenosis A cause of silent mitral stenosis.

Japanese Heart Journal, 1983
The diastolic rumbling murmur of mitral stenosis (MS) may be attenuated in the presence of low cardiac output, right ventricular enlargement, Lutembacher's syndrome, pulmonary emphysema, and obesity. In this report we would like to stress that the presence of tricuspid stenosis (TS) is an additional significant cause of silent MS. The clinical material

Simulation of left ventricle fluid dynamics with mitral regurgitation from magnetic resonance images with fictitious elastic structure regularization [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Computer modeling can provide quantitative insight into cardiac fluid dynamics phenomena that are not evident from standard imaging tools. We propose a new approach to modeling left ventricle fluid dynamics based on an image-driven model-based description of ventricular motion. In this approach, the end-diastolic geometry and time-dependent deformation

The risk of death according to left ventricular ejection fraction and right ventricular dilatation in 17 321 adults with heart failure from 40 high‐, middle‐ and low‐income countries – A Global Congestive Heart Failure (G‐CHF) study

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to describe the prognostic importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) versus right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) from countries of different income levels. Methods and results We enrolled 17 321 participants with HF from 40 countries.
