Case Report of Absent Pulmonary Valve with Intact Interventricular Septum

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare cardiac malformation, usually associated with tetralogy of Fallot. Its presence with intact interventricular septum is even less common with case reports or very small series in the literature. We describe a case

What is Quality End‐of‐Life Care for Patients With Heart Failure? A Qualitative Study With Physicians

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Advanced heart failure (AHF) carries a morbidity and mortality that are similar or worse than many advanced cancers. Despite this, there are no accepted quality metrics for end‐of‐life (EOL) care for patients with AHF. Methods and Results As a

Long‐Term Clinical Outcomes of Nonhyperemic Pressure Ratios: Resting Full‐Cycle Ratio, Diastolic Pressure Ratio, and Instantaneous Wave‐Free Ratio

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Nonhyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs) such as instantaneous wave‐free ratio, resting full‐cycle ratio, or diastolic pressure ratio have emerged as invasive physiologic indices precluding the need for hyperemic agents.
