The diastolic rumbling murmur of mitral stenosis (MS) may be attenuated in the presence of low cardiac output, right ventricular enlargement, Lutembacher's syndrome, pulmonary emphysema, and obesity. In this report we would like to stress that the presence of tricuspid stenosis (TS) is an additional
OBJECTIVE
It was hypothesized that sleep disorders might be present due to functional heart failure in patients with mitral stenosis (MS), and might be accompanied by obstructive-type sleep disorders. To examine this hypothesis, non-smoker and non-obese patients with rheumatic MS and without
Aortic stenosis is the most frequent and mitral stenosis is the least frequent native single-sided valve disease in Europe. Patients with the combination of severe symptomatic degenerative aortic and mitral stenosis are very rare. Guidelines for the treatment of heart valve diseases are clear for
Evaluation without catheterization of patients with valvular heart disease implies that diagnosis based upon non-invasive techniques alone are qualitatively and quantitatively correct. The diagnosis should indicate not only the valvular lesion in question but should give information about associated
Obesity contributes to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and may lead to diastolic heart failure. Weight loss (WL) after bariatric surgery (BS) may influence LV morphology and function. Using echocardiography, this study assessed the effect of WL on LV diastolic function (LVDF) and
BACKGROUND
There are limited data regarding clinical outcomes and healthcare resource utilization of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are morbidly obese (body mass index >40 kg/m
2 or body weight >120
The role of active and passive factors involved in the genesis of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is analyzed in a group of eighty patients with several cardiopathies and pneumopathies. The group include: 20 patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (NODC), 20 with Diffuse intersticial
Long-term follow-up, cardial complications and factors influencing the survival time have been investigated retrospectively in 503 patients, who underwent 344 aortic and 191 mitral valve replacements with Björk-Shiley heart valve prosthesis between 1973 and 1984 at the University Hospital of Berne,
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the prevalence and correlates of aortic regurgitation (AR) in a population-based sample group.
BACKGROUND
Concern over induction of AR by weight loss medication highlights the importance of assessing the prevalence and correlates of AR in unselected patient
Evidence suggesting that mitral regurgitation (MR) may be induced by appetite suppressant medications heightens the importance of understanding the prevalence and correlates of MR, especially its relation to obesity, in population-based samples. MR was assessed by color Doppler echocardiography in
OBJECTIVE
Investigate the cardiovascular risk factors and evaluate the usefulness of echocardiography in the assessment ischemic stroke.
METHODS
Prospective and descriptive study in the neurology department of the teaching hospital of Brazzaville between June 2011 and June 2012, 83 patients enrolled
Plasmodium knowlesi causes severe and fatal malaria, and its incidence in Southeast Asia is increasing. Factors associated with death are not clearly defined.All malaria deaths in Sabah, Malaysia, from 2015-2017 were identified from mandatory reporting to BACKGROUND
The prevalence, pathophysiology, and clinical indicators of valvular amyloid deposition have not been clarified yet.
METHODS
One hundred fifty surgically resected heart valve specimens [67.4+/-1.0 years; aortic stenosis (AS), n=100; aortic regurgitation, n=19; mitral stenosis, n=7; mitral
