Therapy and Prevention Valvular Heart Disease
To study the mechanism of increase in the mitral valve area (MVA) and the anatomic features of the mitral valve that may affect the results of catheter double-balloon valvuloplasty (CBV) in adult patients with mitral stenosis, Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiography was performed in 12 patients before and immediately after CBV. Immediately after CBV, there was an increase in the transverse...
متن کاملTherapy and Prevention Valvular Heart Disease
Between 1961 and 1984, 91 patients underwent simultaneous triple valve replacement at the Mayo Clinic. Of the 273 prosthetic valves used, 77% were Starr-Edwards. Perioperative (30 day) mortality was 24% to 27% between 1962 and 1974 and 7% between 1975 and 1983 (p = .17). In patients with NYHA class IV symptoms, perioperative mortality was 44%, and in those with milder symptoms, it was 8% (p < ....
متن کاملStroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation and Valvular Heart Disease
There is a clinically staggering burden of disease stemming from cerebrovascular events, of which a majority are ischemic in nature and many are precipitated by atrial fibrillation (AF). AF can occur in isolation or in association with myocardial or structural heart disease. In the latter case, and when considering health at an international level, congenital and acquired valve-related diseases...
متن کاملValvular Disease
Methods: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of cardiac valves requires state of the art equipement such as a 1.5 or 3 Tesla magnet and a surface coil. Three principal sequences are required [1]: 1) Black blood, 2) cine steady state free precession (CineSSFP), and 3) phase contrast velocity encoded cine (VENCine). Black blood images are obtained by preparation of a fast spin echo sequences with a nonsel...
متن کاملRadiation-associated valvular disease.
The prevalence of radiation-associated cardiac disease is increasing due to prolonged survival following mediastinal irradiation. Side effects of radiation include pericarditis, accelerated coronary artery disease, myocardial fibrosis and valvular injury. We evaluated the cases of three young patients with evidence of significant valvular disease following mediastinal irradiation. One patient u...
