Valvular Heart Disease in Pregnancy

open access: yesMethodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Valvular heart disease is a common cause of peripartum cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The hemodynamic changes of pregnancy and their impact on preexisting valvular lesions are described in this paper. Tools for calculation of maternal and fetal risk during pregnancy are also discussed.

Higher plasma IL-6 and PTX3 are associated with worse survival in left heart failure with pulmonary hypertension

open access: yesAmerican Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Introduction: Left heart failure (LHF) is commonly complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH), increasing morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of inflammatory proteins in LHF with PH (LHF-PH).
