Unusual evolution of a non-hacek Gram-negative endocarditis in a patient with Turner syndrome [PDF]
Non-HACEK Gram-negative endocarditis is a rare but severe illness, and the diagnosis can be difficult to establish. Here, we report the case of a 72-year-old woman with Turner syndrome suffering from non-typhoid Salmonella endocarditis of the triscupid ...

Tricuspid valve disease with significant tricuspid insufficiency in the fetus: Diagnosis and outcome
The echocardiographic studies and clinical course of 27 fetuses (mean gestational age 26.9 weeks) diagnosed in utero with tricuspid valve disease and significant tricuspid regurgitation were reviewed. The diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly was made in 17 of the fetuses, 7 had tricuspid valve dysplasia with poorly developed but normally attached leaflets ...

This pilot physiological study, involving 20 patients with severe aortic stenosis, shows that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) induces rapid changes in both macrocirculatory parameters, reflecting the release of chronic obstruction. We observed improved tissue perfusion by postoperative Day 1, independent of macrocirculatory parameters ...

Color Doppler Echocardiographic Assessment of Valvular Regurgitation in Normal Infants
Despite valvular regurgitation being a common finding in children, its prevalence in infants is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and severity of valvular regurgitation in normal infants using echocardiographic screening ...

Tricuspidisation of the aortic valve with creation of a crown-like annulus is able to restore a normal valve function in bicuspid aortic valves [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate the early results of a new method to repair malfunctioning bicuspid aortic valves by creating a tricuspid valve with a crown-like (i.e. anatomic) annulus.

Among 2061 hospitalized HFmrEF patients, low albumin, albumin‐to‐creatinine ratios (ACR), and elevated urea‐to‐albumin ratios (UAR) independently predicted long‐term all‐cause mortality, but not HF‐related rehospitalization. The UAR and ACR did not provide a clinically significant predictive advantage over albumin levels alone. Abstract Background This

ABSTRACT Background and Aims A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can effectively overcome portal hypertension, but is prevented by contraindications in a considerable proportion of patients. In this study, we investigated the option of a constrained TIPS (cTIPS) with reduced diameter for high‐risk patients.
