TCTAP C-219 Complication of BMV

An unusual complication of cardiac catheterisation during BMV.

1 of 3 DESCRIPTION Rheumatic heart disease is the most common cause of mitral stenosis, and percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) has stood the test of time as the standard therapy for the same. We describe a very unusual complication of cardiac catheterisation that occurred during an otherwise uneventful procedure. A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with severe mitral stenosis due to rheu...

Remarks on BMV conjecture

We show that for fixed A,B, hermitian nonnegative definite matrices, and fixed k the coefficients of the t in the polynomial Tr(A + tB) is positive if TrAB > 0 and m > N(A,B, k).

Herbert Stahl’s proof of the BMV conjecture

The paper contains a simplified version of Stahl’s proof of a conjecture of Bessis, Moussa and Villani on the trace of matrices A+ tB with Hermitian A and B. MSC 2010 Class: 47A55, 30F10.
