Evaluation of Risk Factors and Outcomes of Isolated Tricuspid Valve Replacement with a Conventional Surgical Approach: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. Tricuspid valve (TV) disease is substantially less common than mitral or aortic valve disease, and it is commonly missed due to the tolerability of stenosis or regurgitation. Adults seldom have primary tricuspid valve regurgitation, which is linked to rheumatic heart disease, infectious endocarditis, myxomatous valve disease, congenital ...

An electronic consultation program impacts on heart failure patients' prognosis: implications for heart failure care

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 4150-4159, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims e‐consults are asynchronous, clinician‐to‐clinician exchanges that answer focused, non‐urgent, patient‐specific questions using the electronic medical record. We instituted an e‐consultation programme (2013–2019) for all general practitioners (GPs) referrals to cardiologists that preceded patients' in‐person consultations when considered.

Longitudinal Changes in Left Ventricular Blood Flow Kinetic Energy After Myocardial Infarction: Predictive Relevance for Cardiac Remodeling

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 768-778, September 2022., 2022
Background Four‐dimensional (4D) flow cardiac magnetic resonance (cardiac MR) imaging provides quantification of intracavity left ventricular (LV) flow kinetic energy (KE) parameters in three dimensions. ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients have been shown to have altered intracardiac blood flow compared to controls; however, how 4D flow

Non‐dissecting large thoracic aortic aneurysm leading to chronic aortic insufficiency presenting as acute heart failure

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2021., 2021
Guidelines vary recommendations for managing thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) according to size, risk factors, and symptoms, but large TAAs in younger patients require shared decision‐making regarding genetic testing and type of surgical procedure. Abstract Large, non‐dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) up to 13 cm in size are typically found in
