Background: Degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease is a common cause of severe regurgitation (MR) and accounts for the majority MV operations. Conventional surgery requires cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping, cardioplegia, thoracotomy or sternotomy and, therefore, associated with significant disability, risks, unpredictable rates repair. Transesophageal echocardiography–guided beating-heart repair expanded polytetrafluoroethylene cordal insertion has potential to significantly...
Comparison of the value echocardiography and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in monitoring response to treatment patients admitted for acute heart failure (HF).Ninety-five consecutive with HF underwent bedside Doppler BNP measurements on admission, after 24 h intravenous treatment, at day 7. We then studied association between clinical status, echocardiographic findings, subsequent 60-day adverse outcome (death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, urgent transplantation, readmission). On admission...
Aims The incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy, independent arterial hypertension (AH) and coronary heart disease (CHD), remains controversial. present study aimed to determine the influence type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) long duration (>10 years) on myocardial function estimated by echocardiography (ECHO) serum level N-terminal pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients without CHD AH. We also retrospectively investigated relationship between structural changes hearts other deceased...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance a novel, beating heart procedure that enables echocardiographic-guided implantation expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) artificial cords on posterior mitral leaflet patients with degenerative regurgitation.Two prospective multicentre studies enrolled 13 (first-in-human) 52 subjects, respectively. Patients were treated HARPOON valve repair system. primary (30-day) end point successful cord(s) regurgitation reduction...
AimsPreliminary studies suggested that tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was able to identify mutation carriers in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) before the development of hypertrophy. However, data are limited. We performed a systematic analysis echocardiography, TDI, and electrocardiogram (ECG) HCM parameters associated with genetic status.
Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography may be required in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19), resulting direct contact the patient risk of transmitting infection from to medical personnel. Therefore, we recommend perform problem‑oriented time‑limited transthoracic examinations. Whenever possible, examinations should analyzed offline, outside isolation zones. Transesophageal is considered an aerosol‑generating procedure performed only as a lifesaving procedure....
Abstract Background/Introduction The uncertainty, whether TEER may improve clinical outcome was explored in two randomized trial targeting patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) – the MITRA-FR COAPT trials. So far is only randomised that showed lower mortality group. Purpose objective of this study to compare results single Mitra-Clip centre trial, focus on baseline population...
Abstract Introduction The role of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as an arrhythmic substrate rather than isolated structural defect is under investigation. There a possible link between the MVP, its morphology, and MVP (aMVP). Purpose To obtain data on morphology clinical significance in Polish population. Methods 417 patients with (mean age 45.5 years-yrs.; females: 249/59.7%) were enrolled into prospective observational registry MITPROL AR-PL Cardiac Society. Data was obtained from 23 tertiary...
Abstract Background Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an important cardiovascular imaging modality, offering detailed images surpassing other techniques, including transthoracic echocardiography. TEE's efficacy relies on skilled physicians operating the probe. Adequate TEE training often overlooked, leading to potential patient discomfort or harm during examinations. simulators address this gap, providing a safe environment for practitioners enhance their skills. Aims Our study aims...
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital heart defect linked to abnormal structure and dilatation. Aims: To present BAV types valvulo-aortopathy in the Polish population using latest 2021 classification. Methods: RE-BAV registry of adult ambulatory hospitalized patients with evaluated echocardiographic laboratories at 23 tertiary centers Poland (2021–2023). Results: The study included 814 — 72.7% male, average age mean (SD) 50 (17.4). Common symptoms dyspnea (54.1%)...
Abstract It is unknown whether fibrosis‐associated micro RNA s: miR‐21, miR‐26, miR‐29, miR‐30 and miR‐133a are linked to cardiovascular ( CV ) outcome. The study evaluated the levels of extracellular matrix ECM fibrosis prevalence particular s in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy DCM investigate any correlation events. Methods: Seventy (48 ± 12 years, EF 24.4 7.4%) underwent right ventricular biopsy. control group was comprised 7 CAD who CABG intraoperative Micro were measured blood...

To assess the right ventricular (RV) function in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR); to find a relation between preoperative and postoperative parameters.RV was echocardiographically assessed by determining tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) peak velocity of lateral annulus (Sa) 45 organic MR (53.3% men, age 58 +/- 10 years). Mean NYHA class 2.6 0.4, LVEF 55.3 12%, RV end-diastolic diameter 28.7 4.7, left end-systolic (LVESD) 44.6 12.6 mm, LV volume (Simpson)...
Heart failure has becoming an increasing medical, economic, and social problem globally. The prevalence of this syndrome is rising, despite unequivocal positive effects modern therapy, reduction mortality been achieved at the cost more frequent hospitalisations. Unlike in many European countries, Poland heart usually recognised later, a advanced stage disease, leaving less time for ambulatory treatment resulting high number current paper presents most important data regarding morbidity due...
BACKGROUND A myocardial bridge (MB) is defined as a congenital anomaly, in which segment of an epicardial coronary artery takes intramuscular course. AIMS The aim the study was to evaluate prevalence MB arteries among patients who were diagnosed using angiography. METHODS Data obtained from National Polish Percutaneous Interventions Registry for hospitalized between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, invasive cardiology departments Poland divided into groups with without MB. RESULTS...
Heart failure (HF) is a global health problem inherent in an aging population with coexisting cardiovascular diseases. Based on data from the Polish National Health Fund (Polish, Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia), approximately 1.2 million people Poland currently suffer HF, and 140 000 of them die annually. Recently, was ranked fifth among European Union countries regarding number patients diagnosed HF first terms hospitalizations (547 per 100 population) 34 associated Organization for Economic...
The prognostic value of the right ventricular parameters in patients with heart failure (HF) is well documented, but data on undergoing mitral valve repair are lacking.The association between pre-operative dilatation and outcome was studied 70 consecutive HF who underwent elective repair. Mean age 67 years, 71% were men, mean NYHA class 2.8, ejection fraction 31%, 47% had atrial fibrillation. ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) cause 32% patients. Perioperative mortality 7.1% by a median logistic...
