Levels of Circulating Intermediate Monocytes Decrease after Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis.
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. We have previously shown that severe AS is associated with increased levels of circulating intermediate monocytes. Haemodynamics are considered to influence levels of circulating monocyte subsets; we therefore hypothesized that aortic valve replacement may result in changes in the distribution of circulating monocyte subsets. In the ...
متن کاملGlobal strain in severe aortic valve stenosis: relation to clinical outcome after aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND Global longitudinal systolic strain (GLS) is often reduced in aortic stenosis despite normal ejection fraction. The importance of reduced preoperative GLS on long-term outcome after aortic valve replacement is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 125 patients with severe aortic stenosis and ejection fraction >40% scheduled for aortic valve replacement were evaluated preoperative...
متن کاملPlasma levels of B-type natriuretic peptide in children and adolescents with aortic valve stenosis.
BNP plasma level was normal according to ageand sex-matched controls (between 5 and 21 pg/mL), despite an invasive pressure gradient of up to 105 mmHg, a left ventricular systolic pressure of up to 220 mmHg, and a markedly increased left ventricular hypertrophy in several patients. Plasma BNP was slightly increased when compared with healthy controls in 2/25 patients (22 and 40 pg/mL, 14.5and 1...
متن کاملsingle stage aortic valve replacement and splenectomy in a patient with severe aortic stenosis
splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia is fully described in hematological and surgical literature, but its association with severe aortic stenosis is rare. we present a case of severe aortic valve stenosis with severe splenomegaly-induced thrombocytopenia in which aortic valve replacement was done with a number 23 homograft and splenectomy was performed after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. ...
متن کاملSex differences in mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine sex differences in outcome after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with real-world data from 2 large centers in Canada. BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is an effective alternative to surgical valve replacement in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis, but the impact of sex on outcomes remains unclear. The...
