Background: Limited data exists describing Impella-related mechanical mitral valve complications. Diagnosis and management can be challenging due to potential underestimation of mitral regurgitation ...

These are the inlet valves to the two ventricles, the mitral valve on the left side and the tricuspid valve on the right.

One patient (case 9) had severe mitral regurgitation due to recent, but sterilized, endocarditis. AVR indicates aortic valve replacement; ESRD, end stage renal disease; HTN, hypertension; LVEF, left ...

Echo parameters: The beneficial effect of transcatheter mitral valve replacement compared with GDMT alone was consistent in all echocardiographic subgroups, independent of the severity of LV ...

For patients with symptomatic and severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) yields substantial improvement ...

Investing in pediatric emergency care could save lives more than 2,100 lives each year, new research found. The study also reported that a quarter of childhood deaths are preventable and investing ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type of valve disease in the heart. Aortic regurgitation can lead to some heart ...

Severe tricuspid regurgitation is associated with disabling symptoms and an increased risk of death. Data regarding outcomes after percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid-valve replacement are needed.
