Persistence Pulmonal Hypertension After Balloon Mitral Valvuiloplasty

open access: yesMajalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2013
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 ...

Mitral valve replacement via right thoracotomy approach for prevention of mediastinitis in a female patient with long-term uncontrolled diabetes mellitus: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2010
A 76-year-old woman with a history of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy and repeated hospital admissions due to heart failure was referred for an operation for severe mitral valve stenosis. She presented with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and

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.

Mitral stenosis due to rheumatic heart disease - A rare cause of massive hemoptysis

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Severe mitral valve stenosis caused by rheumatic heart disease presenting initially as massive hemoptysis has become a rare occurrence in contemporary western medicine. Massive hemoptysis can be due to multiple disease processes including airway diseases

Impact of epicardial adipose tissue on myocardial function and structure in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to adverse remodelling and outcomes in aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet mechanisms remain unclear. In 137 patients with severe AS undergoing CMR before TAVR, higher EAT (≥46.5 ml/m2) was associated with impaired left atrial (LA) reservoir strain, while ventricular morphology, function and tissue ...

Immediate Results of Percutaneous Trans-Luminal Mitral Commissurotomy in Pregnant Women with Severe Mitral Stenosis

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2012
Background Valvular heart diseases and mainly rheumatic heart diseases complicate about 1% of pregnancies. During pregnancy physiological hemodynamic changes of the circulation are the main cause of mitral stenosis (MS) decompensation.

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.
