The great simulator [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Cardiac myxoma often simulates multisystem disease and initially defies diagnosis. In this paper, we present three cases of cardiac myxoma in adults.

Mitral regurgitation in patients with severe aortic stenosis: Diagnosis and management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently coexist. Although some observational studies have reported that moderate or severe MR is associated with higher mortality, the optimal management of such patients is still unclear ...

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1113-1118, April 2025.
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Dimensionless index of the mitral valve for evaluation of degenerative mitral stenosis

open access: yesEchocardiography, 2020
AbstractPurposeDegenerative mitral stenosis (DMS) is an increasingly recognized cause of mitral stenosis. The goal of this study was to compare echocardiographic differences between DMS and rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS), identify echocardiographic variables reflective of DMS severity, and propose a dimensionless mitral stenosis index (DMSI) for ...

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Systolic ejection murmurs and the left ventricular outflow tract in boxer dogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Turbulence of various genesis in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) causes systolic ejection murmurs. The prevalence of murmurs in adult boxer dogs is 50-80%, the majority of which are of low intensity.

Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage due to Acute Mitral Valve Regurgitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) can be caused by several etiologies including vasculitis, drug exposure, anticoagulants, infections, mitral valve stenosis, and regurgitation.

Right ventricle to pulmonary artery coupling as a prognostic factor in tricuspid regurgitation: A systematic review

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
The TAPSE/SPAP ratio is associated with worse prognosis in patients with significant tricuspid regurgitation and could indicate at‐risk patients. The exact cutoff value for RV‐PA uncoupling remains difficult to define and in available studies ranged from 0.26 to 0.49 mm/mmHg.

Prediction of Turbulent Shear Stresses through Dysfunctional Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves using Computational Fluid Dynamics

open access: yes, 2018
There are more than 300,000 heart valves implanted annually worldwide with about 50% of them being mechanical valves. The heart valve replacement is often a common treatment for severe valvular disease.
