Recurrent Stenosis of the Mitral Valve [PDF]
Forty-three patients with suspected restenosis of the mitral valve are reported. Forty of these occurred in a series of 672 mitral commissurotomies. A significant degree of recurrent stenosis was found in 40 of the 43 cases at the time of the second operation.

The immunology of mitral valve stenosis
Rosa T Artola, Christos G Mihos, Orlando SantanaColumbia University Division of Cardiology at Mount Sinai Heart Institute, Miami Beach, FL, USAAbstract: Although the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has rapidly subsided over the last several decades in the United States, it still remains a serious cardiovascular disorder across the world ...

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Mitral valve area in combined mitral stenosis and regurgitation. [PDF]
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

Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Objective To determine the optimal anticoagulation intensity of warfarin in a South‐East Asian population with moderate‐to‐severe rheumatic mitral stenosis. Methods A multicentre, retrospective study examined patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who had not undergone valve replacement or repair and required long‐term warfarin therapy at two ...

ABSTRACT Background Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a complication linked to poor outcomes. The prognostic impact of mild PVR, particularly in patients with elevated preprocedural left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, remains uncertain.

Pathophysiology of Mitral Valve Stenosis
Mitral valve stenosis (MS) can be congenital or acquired. Congenital MS is mainly the consequence of abnormalities of the subvalvular apparatus and occurs mainly in infants and children. [1] The congenital causes include parachute mitral valve deformity, congenital MS, supravalvular mitral ring and cor-triatriatum.

ABSTRACT Background Little is known about stroke volume index (SVi) change and its prognostic implication in patients with low‐flow aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) and conflicting results are present in literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative change in SVi and its impact on outcomes in patients
