Mechanistic insights from 3D echocardiography (echo) can guide therapy. In particular, ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is difficult to repair, often persisting despite annular reduction. We hypothesized that (1) in a chronic infarct model of progressive MR, parallels changes the geometry leaflet attachments, causing increased tethering and restricting closure; therefore, (2) MR be reduced by restoring toward normal, using new ventricular remodeling approach based on echo findings.We...
Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of occult left-heart disease in patients with scleroderma and pulmonary hypertension. In hypertension (mean artery pressure PAP) ≥25 mmHg), differentiation between pre- post-capillary has been made according wedge (PAWP) less than or more 15 mmHg, respectively. We performed a retrospective chart review 107 patients. All suspected had routine right left heart catheterisation ventricular end-diastolic (LVEDP) measurement pre-/post-fluid challenge....
Background: Older adults undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) are at risk for malnutrition. The association between preprocedural nutritional status and midterm mortality has yet to be determined. Methods: FRAILTY-AVR (Frailty in Aortic Valve Replacement) prospective multicenter cohort study was conducted 2012 2017 14 centers 3 countries. Patients ≥70 years of age who underwent transcatheter or surgical AVR were eligible. Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form assessed by trained...
Background Phase angle (PA) is a bioimpedance measurement that determined lean body mass and hydration status. Patients with low PA values are more likely to be frail, sarcopenic, or malnourished. Previous work has shown predicts adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, but the effect of on survival not previously been assessed in this setting. Methods Results The BICS (Bioimpedance Cardiac Surgery) study recruited 277 patients undergoing major surgery at 2 university-affiliated hospitals...
Background— Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a risk factor for mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). TR severity varies among patients with comparable degrees of PH and right ventricular remodeling. The contribution leaflet adaptation to the pathophysiology has yet be examined. We hypothesized that tricuspid area (TLA) increased PH, adequacy this increase relative remodeling determines severity. Methods Results— A prospective cohort 255 from pre postcapillary pathogeneses was assembled 2...
The landscape of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has changed significantly since the last Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Thoracic Society position statement in 2005. Since then, advances our understanding pathophysiology PH and improvements diagnostic therapeutic options have transformed care patients with PH. Globally, an estimated prevalence 1%, increasing to 10% those aged 65 years older, most commonly due left heart or lung disease. Although arterial (PAH) is less common, morbidity...
