Background—This investigation was designed to test the hypothesis that vascular adaptation occurs in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation ... an average LV pressure waveform to match with the ...

Objectives Few studies have explored whether the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke varies among patients with degenerative aortic valve disease (DAVD) with different severity of aortic ...

1998;97:518–520 The decision to recommend operative intervention to the patient with valve disease is the most difficult when the valve disease is severe chronic aortic regurgitation ... described the ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the dominant form of aortic valve intervention and the demand is forecast to continue rising, placing increasing pressure on healthcare ... AR ...

Valvular regurgitation is when blood flows backward through the chambers of your heart. It can be mild and not cause symptoms, or it can be life threatening. Your heart is a muscular organ that ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV ... athletes with asymptomatic BAV associated with mild ...

Figure 1: Pressure–volume curves and distributions of negative elastance. To understand the existence and fluctuations of the negative elastance, we developed a dynamical model of a system ...

This is known as the Quincke's sign - and it could be caused by aortic regurgitation. Joanne Whitmore, lead nurse at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), explained to Sun Health: "Quincke's sign in ...

A 2021 systematic review indicates that TAVR can be a safe and effective option for treating aortic regurgitation. However, a 2021 study highlights that further studies are still necessary to ...

Magnetic resonance imaging provides an accurate method for the measurement of left and right ventricular volume. The ratio of left ventricular stroke volume to right ventricular stroke volume was ...

Long-term follow-up disclosed newly developed or worsened aortic valve regurgitation (AR) in 9% of patients with ASD and in 10% of patients with PFO. A potential cause for developing AR may be ...
