severe rheumatic mitral stenosis is a condition with a dismal prognosis if surgical therapy is not considered an option. its prevalence has diminished in recent decades in developed countries, but some cases are still diagnosed in elderly patients with reduced access to healthcare. report of a ...
Moderate to severe TR following mitral valve replacement (MVR) is associated with a poor prognosis, significantly impacting the quality of life of patients and reducing survival, with higher postoperative morbidity and mortality rates [3]. In China, research focusing on the risk factors associated ...
Background Late prognosis after successful percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) is unclear. We compared late results of PMC using Inoue versus double-balloon techniques up to 25 years in a randomized trial. Methods Between 1989 and 1995, 302 patients (77 men, 41 ± 11 years) with severe ...
Conclusion.— Our data suggest the presence of subclinical systolic and diastolic RV dysfunction in pure mild mitral stenosis patients. Tricuspid annulus tissue Doppler indices were able to assess RV dysfunction and to precociously recognize patients with worse prognosis. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j...
The aortic valve area (AVA) was 0.9–1.0 cm2. She presented mild mitral insufficiency, an estimated pulmonary systolic pressure of 27 mmHg and a normal left atrium (Fig.2). Electrocardiography revealed a normal sinus rhythm (Fig.3). The patient was medicated with enoxaparin, 4000 intern...
Indeed, an unmet clinical need consists in the identification of medical strategies targeting the “myocardium” which, combined with TAVI, could promote favorable cardiac remodeling, thus improving prognosis. Medical therapy, albeit ineffective in slowing AS progression, could potentially play a role in...
In the presented case, a comprehensive heart team evaluation deemed the natural history of ATTR-CA to negatively affect both the patient’s prognosis and procedural risk, leading, along with consideration of patient preferences, to a lack of indication to TAVR during the index hospitalization despite...
This long-term observational study in a large contemporary cohort of patients with AS for the first time demonstrates that syncope represents an underestimated threat in aortic stenosis, associated with poor prognosis after SAVR. Importantly, other primary indications for SAVR (i.e., dyspnea, angina...
