In the RESHAPE-HF2 trial, 505 patients with systolic HF (left ventricular ejection fraction 20-50% and New York Heart Association [NYHA] class ... the patients in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial had less severe ...

is noninferior to mitral valve (MV) surgery in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation at 1 year. Patient selection is key for success of any surgical or percutaneous MV ...

Fourteen of the patients had pure or predominant mitral stenosis ... as serious in patients with mitral-valve disease as it in in those with congenital heart disease. It is concluded that valve ...

Biology is like magic.” To make the valve, scientists spray a cobweb of fine fibres into a 3D replica of a human heart valve, creating a scaffold. This is held together by a knitted mesh ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is present in 30-40% of patients presenting for mitral valve surgery. In patients undergoing mitral valve repair, the presence of AF may be associated with increased ...

She was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. This is a degenerative heart condition in which the valve between the heart and the main artery that carries blood to the rest of the body becomes ...

The findings were published in Nature Cardiovascular Research on January 2, 2025. After a heart attack, the human heart loses millions of muscle cells that cannot regrow. This often leads to heart ...

Mitral valve annuloplasty (MVA) is expected to provide a more durable solution for ASMR than for ventricular secondary MR (VSMR). Yet data on MR recurrence and outcome after MVA for ASMR are scarce.

Valvular heart disease ... to the body. Mitral regurgitation happens when blood leaks backward from the left ventricle to the left atrium when the valve is closed. Mitral valve stenosis is ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — For decades, medical science has insisted that the human heart cannot repair itself in any meaningful way. This dogma, as fundamental to cardiology as a heartbeat itself, is now being ...

The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium of the heart into the left ventricle. Mitral regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve leaks blood back into the left atrium.

A process used in structural heart interventions that includes mitral valvuloplasty ... aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system to treat symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. During the same month ...
