Comprehensive exploration of unexplained dyspnoea in subjects with normal ejection fraction and low natriuretic peptides

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 879-887, April 2025.
Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

A rare association of invasive infective endocarditis due to Abiotrophia defectiva with ventricular septal defect and recurrent Henoch-Schonlein purpura in a child

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Background Henoch-Schonlein purpura is the most common vasculitis in childhood, usually triggered by an upper respiratory tract infection and rarely observed in infective endocarditis patients. Abiotrophia defectiva is a rare causative agent of infective

Increased calcification by erythrophagocytosis in aortic valvular interstitial cells

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1469-1473, April 2025.
Abstract Background Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progresses over time to severe aortic stenosis and eventually heart failure. Recent evidence indicates that intraleaflet haemorrhage (ILH) strongly promotes CAVD progression. However, it remains poorly understood how it mechanistically contributes to valvular calcification.

Elevated antistreptolysin O titer is closely related to cardiac mitral insufficiency in untreated patients with Takayasu arteritis

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background The etiology of Takayasu arteritis (TA) is unknown; however, a possible relationship between streptococcal infection and TA has been proposed.

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.

Tricuspid Valve Dysplasia in a Dog [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Congenital cardiac diseases are a common cause of death in puppies. Tricuspid valve dysplasia is characterized by thickening and displacement of the leaflets of the tricuspid valve, agenesis of the valves, and incomplete separation of valve ...

Diagnosis of mitral insufficiency using impedance cardiography technique ICG

Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance, 2016
Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive tool for assessing the hemodynamic parameters. It has been used for diagnosing several cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, cardio-myopathy, and valvular diseases. Particularly, the valvular heart

Diagnostic Accuracy of Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Congestive Liver Disease in Patients With Structural Heart Disease

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Developing Insights Regarding Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation: Morphology, Assessment of Severity, and the Need for a Novel Grading Scheme

Structural Heart, 2022
Current understanding that progressive tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with worse outcomes has highlighted the clinical need for a more accurate assessment of TR morphology and severity.
