Role of circulating interleukin-17 level in progression of mitral regurgitation in pediatric patient with rheumatic heart disease [PDF]
Rheumatic heart disease (RHO) is a sequela of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) caused by the delayed immune response after group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GABHS) infection. It is the most frequent etiology of permanent heart valve damage in pediatrics, especially in the mitral valve.

Circulating Concentrations of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in Dogs with Naturally Occurring Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]
Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1), which mediates most effects of growth hormone, has effects on cardiac mass and function, and plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone. In humans, an inverse relationship between degree of heart failure (HF) and circulating IGF‐1 concentrations has been found in several studies.

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]
The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.
