The use of echocardiography and echocardiographic findings in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is recommended as a key investigation in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in major guidelines. However, utilization and benefits are yet to be known in Thai patients. The study aims to evaluate the benefits of TTE and identify factors associated with the decision to perform TTE on patients with ...

Our First Experience on Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC): Case Report [PDF]

, 2005
Rheumatic heart disease remains a significant healt problem especially in devaloping countries. In rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve is affected in nearly all cases; mitral stenosis is the most common lesion.

Effect Of Coronary Bypass And Valve Structure On Outcome In Isolated Valve Replacement For Aortic Stenosis [PDF]

, 2012
Reports differ regarding the effect of concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who undergo aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis (AS), and no reports have described the effect of aortic valve structure in patients who ...

Prognostic value of longitudinal strain relative apical sparing in severe aortic stenosis patients undergoing TAVR

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims This study evaluated the prognostic value of the relative apical sparing pattern (RASP) of longitudinal strain (LS) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and investigated whether its combination with pre‐procedural biomarkers enhances risk stratification.

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

, 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.

Clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The clinical impact of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify the prevalence and prognostic impact of TR in post‐AMI patients treated with appropriate primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Modeling mitral valve stenosis: A parametric study on the stenosis severity level

Journal of Biomechanics, 2019
New computational techniques providing more accurate representation of human heart pathologies could help uncovering relevant physical phenomena and improve the outcome of medical therapies. In this framework, the present work describes an efficient computational model for the evaluation of the ventricular flow alteration in presence of mitral valve ...

The pulmonary artery pulsatility index in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing valve replacement

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), that is, the pulmonary artery pulse pressure (PAPP) divided by the mean right atrial pressure (mRAP), is an increasingly used invasive index of right ventricular function. We sought to assess the prognostic impact of the PAPi in unselected patients with aortic stenosis (AS ...

Twisted atrioventricular connections in double inlet right ventricle: evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]

, 2008
Twisted atrioventricular connections occur almost exclusively in the hearts with biventricular atrioventricular connections. Only one example of double inlet left ventricle has been illustrated in which the axes of the two atrioventricular valves crossed
