“Inverted Pulmonary Valve,” a Rare Cause of Severe Pulmonary Stenosis

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
We describe three cases – two detected prenatally and one postnatally – in which the pulmonary valve exhibited abnormal chord-like attachments to the right ventricle. This produced paradoxical valve motion, characterized by closure in systole and opening

Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12‐Related Developmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.

Pulmonary valve endocarditis caused by right ventricular outflow obstruction in association with sinus of valsalva aneurysm: a case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2008
Background Right-sided infective endocarditis is uncommon. This is primarily seen in patients with intravenous drug use, pacemaker or central venous lines, or congenital heart disease. The vast majority of cases involve the tricuspid valve.

Noonan Syndrome Spectrum Disorders Predispose to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Case Report and Critical Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT RASopathies are clinically overlapping neurodevelopmental syndromes resulting from germline mutations in genes involved in the rat sarcoma/mitogen‐activated protein kinases (RAS/MAPK) pathway. Historically, RASopathies have been described by clinical phenotypes, such as Noonan syndrome and Neurofibromatosis type I.

Marfan Syndrome Associated With Intellectual Disability and Behavioral Anomalies: Further Evidence for the Effect of Compound Heterozygous Variants in FBN1 on Phenotypic Severity

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.

Surgical strategies protecting against right ventricular dilatation following tetralogy of Fallot repair

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018
Background Right ventricular (RV) volume overload increases morbidity and mortality after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. Surgical strategies like pulmonary leaflets sparing and tricuspid valve repair at time of primary repair may decrease RV overload.

Isovolumic relaxation strain imaging is an accurate and sensitive approach for detection of active diastolic dysfunction: A preclinical study

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified approach was developed to accurately identify the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) using an apical three‐chamber view. Compared with conventional echocardiography, isovolumic relaxation strain imaging (IVSI) helps to detect the earlier alternations of diastolic function in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.

Molecular Stratification of Antiphospholipid Syndrome Through Integrative Analysis of the Whole‐Blood RNA Transcriptome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thromboinflammatory disorder characterized by clinical and mechanistic heterogeneity that complicates early diagnosis and hinders targeted treatment. We aimed to identify distinct molecular endotypes among antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)–positive patients using whole‐blood transcriptomics.

Factors associated with cardiovascular events after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant from the US Multicenter Simultaneous Liver–Kidney Transplant Consortium

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022
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 ...

Trileaflet reconstruction of pulmonary valve for acute pulmonary valve insufficiency [PDF]

The Turkish Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019
Iatrogenic pulmonary valve insufficiency is a life-threatening complication and its treatment options pose another challenge. Easily accessible mechanical valves have high complication rates. Xenografts and homografts are expensive materials and are not readily accessible in case of emergency.
