We aimed to determine whether treatment with sildenafil improves outcomes of patients persistent pulmonary hypertension (PH) after correction valvular heart disease (VHD).
To determine the clinical features and long term prognosis of infective endocarditis in patients who were not drug addicts.Prospective case series.A university hospital that is both a referral primary care centre.138 consecutive cases diagnosed treated from January 1987 to March 1997.Mean patient age was 44 (20) years old. 95 (69%) had native valve 43 (31%) prosthetic endocarditis. Staphylococci causal microorganisms 34% streptococci 33%. Severe complications occurred 83% 51% underwent...
To determine the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) in a large cohort consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated echocardiography and to examine distribution primary secondary MR.All an echocardiographic study 19 European centres within 3-month period were prospectively included. MR assessment was performed as recommended by Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). classified according mechanism or aetiologies reported. A total 63 463 studies reviewed. Any degree described...
Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The development of transcatheter valve repair therapies has opened a wide range opportunities for treatment patients high surgical risk. Real-world data might improve patient selection outcome. authors sought to investigate acute short-term cardiovascular outcomes edge-to-edge (T-TEER) dedicated devices in real-world setting. This retrospective, single-arm, multicenter registry conducted at 15...
Use of cardiac pacing devices has grown in recent years. Our aim was to evaluate changes epidemiology and clinical features infective endocarditis (IE) involving pacemaker a large series IE over the last 27 years (1987-2013).From 1987 December 2013, 413 consecutive cases were diagnosed our hospital. During this period, 7424 implanted (6917 pacemakers, 239 implantable defibrillators, 158 resynchronization devices, 110 resynchronization/defibrillator devices). All on included analysed....
Background: Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is an effective therapy for high-risk patients with severe regurgitation (MR) but heart failure (HF) readmissions and death remain substantial on mid-term follow-up. Recently, right ventricular (RV) to pulmonary arterial (PA) coupling has emerged as a relevant prognostic predictor in HF. In this study, we aimed assess the value of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) PA pressure (PASP) ratio non-invasive measure RV-to-PA...
Background: To assess changes in myocardial deformation and ejection fraction ( EF ) by two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE after transcatheter aortic valve implantation TAVI ). Methods: A total of 24 patients (50% males, age 78 ± 4 years) were selected for because severe stenosis. comprehensive echocardiographic study was performed before , at discharge, 1‐month follow‐up. assessed 2D conventional with S impson method . Radial circumferential strains evaluated six...
Our objective was to evaluate the impact of asymptomatic acute cellular rejection (ACR) in left ventricular myocardial strain heart transplant (HT) recipients by means two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE).From September 1, 2009 December 15, 2010 a conventional and 2DSTE exam performed on all consecutive HT their first year posttransplantation within 3 hours surveillance endomyocardial biopsies, as well 14 healthy controls. The association echocardiographic variables with...
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvular disease in developed countries. As society grows older, prevalence of AS increases. However, real burden, current aetiology, severity distribution, and echocardiographic patterns are not fully clear. The aim present study to provide an accurate overall picture AS, focusing on its epidemiology, features. A total 29 502 consecutive echocardiograpies were prospectively included this multicentre study. sample was composed patients with advanced...
There is limited evidence that supports the use of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in long-term cardiac monitoring childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors (CLSs). Our aim was to assess utility automated GLS detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) CLSs. Asymptomatic and subclinical LVSD were defined as LVEF < 50% 18.5%, respectively. Echocardiographic measurements biomarkers compared with a control group. Inverse probability weighting used reduce confounding. Regression...
