Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease is a sequel of rheumatic fever which causes heart valve damage. This study was conducted to look at the pattern of valve lesions and treatment practices in patients with rheumatic heart disease.

Abstract Aims Although predominant in routine practice, non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock (NICS) remains underrepresented in past studies, mainly focused on ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS). This study aims to describe the current NICS picture and define its independent correlates of short‐ and long‐term outcomes.

Abstract Aims No curative treatment is available for RASopathy‐associated childhood‐onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (RAS‐CM). Preclinical data and individual reports suggest a beneficial effect of small molecules targeting the RAS–mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinase (MAPK) pathway in severely affected RAS‐CM patients.

Dynamic simulation of aortic valve stenosis using a lumped parameter cardiovascular system model with flow regime dependent valve pressure loss characteristics [PDF]
Valvular heart diseases are growing concern in impoverished parts of the world, such as Southern-Africa, claiming more than 31 % of total deaths related to cardiovascular diseases. The ability to model the effects of regurgitant and obstructive lesions on the valve body can assist clinicians in preparing personalised treatments.

Life-threatening hemoptysis following mitral valvuloplasty for rheumatic mitral stenosis
Background: Massive hemoptysis is a rare complication of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. Its recurrence following successful initial treatment of the stenosis has not, to our knowledge, been described.

Persistence Pulmonal Hypertension After Balloon Mitral Valvuiloplasty
Background.Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates mitral stenosis. Increased pulmonary artery pressure results from raised left atrial pressure, pulmonary arteriolar vasoconstriction, and obliterative changes in the pulmonary vascular bed, and ...

Balloon dilatation of isolated severe tricuspid valve stenosis
Tricuspid valve stenosis is mostly rheumatic in origin. It almost always occurs in association with mitral valve disease. There are only few case reports of isolated tricuspid valve stenosis.

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

Abstract Aims Ischaemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a dynamic condition influenced by global and regional left ventricular remodelling as well as mitral valvular deformation. Exercise testing plays a substantial role in assessing the haemodynamic relevance of MR and is recommended by current guidelines.
