Hemodynamics and Prognostic Impact of Concomitant Mitral Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Surgical or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND Mitral stenosis frequently coexists in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Mitral stenosis severity evaluation is challenging in the setting of combined aortic stenosis and mitral stenosis because of hemodynamic interactions between the 2 ...

Mitral Valve Repair for Congenital Mitral Valve Stenosis in the Pediatric Population
Mitral valve repair is the preferred approach for congenital mitral valve stenosis in children. However, repairs in this population remain challenging.From 2001 to 2009, mitral valve repair was attempted in 20 consecutive congenital mitral valve stenosis patients.

The molecular genetics of RASopathies: An update on novel disease genes and new disorders
Abstract Enhanced signaling through RAS and the mitogen‐associated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade underlies the RASopathies, a family of clinically related disorders affecting development and growth. In RASopathies, increased RAS‐MAPK signaling can result from the upregulated activity of various RAS GTPases, enhanced function of proteins positively ...

Clinical overview on RASopathies
Abstract RASopathies comprise a group of clinically overlapping developmental disorders caused by genetic variations affecting components or modulators of the RAS‐MAPK signaling cascade, which lead to dysregulation of signal flow through this pathway.
