Q: My doctor heard a new heart murmur and suspected I have a narrowed valve due to aortic stenosis. I feel fine. Why did this happen? What can I expect? A: People with aortic stenosis are often ...

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, one of the most rapidly growing procedures in cardiac electrophysiology, is associated with magnetic resonance imaging–detected brain lesions ...

The factors associated with high LVMI (n=2374) included female, body mass index ≥22, absence of dyslipidemia, left ventricular ejection fraction <50% ... The primary outcome measure for the present ...

is the rare condition in which an abnormal channel begins in the ascending aorta (above the right coronary artery), bypasses the aortic valve, and leads through the ventricular septum into the left ...

A recent study has highlighted the sex-specific implications of myocardial fibrosis on mortality in patients with severe ...

The device is compressed inside the catheter and, once correctly positioned in the diseased aortic valve, the new valve is decompressed and implanted in place. The new valve pushes the diseased valve ...

Fibrosis predicts post-surgical risk in aortic stenosis, reinforcing its role in guiding treatment decisions for both sexes.

Design Retrospective echocardiographic cross-sectional analysis. Setting From 2000 to 2010, we identified all AS patients with left ventricular EF ≥50%, mean gradient (MG) ≥20 mm Hg, aortic valve area ...

aortic-valve calcification and hypertrophy of the left ventricle, is useful in excluding aortic insufficiency and stenosis. Furthermore, there should be neither the slow, anacrotic pulse of aortic ...
