Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. fold higher risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (95% CI 1.30 m/s had a 2.10-fold m/s had a 2.10-fold

Aortic valve replacement in a bicuspid aortic valve patient followed by reoperation for ascending aorta rupture: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. We performed repair of the rupture and concomitant ascending aorta replacement to prevent further exacerbation of the patient's condition.

Case Report: Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement in prosthetic valve endocarditis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

A 70-year-old female patient with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft presented with bioprosthetic valve failure secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis. This resulted in early death due to myocardial infarction and acute heart failure.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 2 However, mortality rate is greater in HF cases developing >3 days following MI compared with less than or equal to 3 days after MI.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of early aortic valve replacement versus conservative therapy in patients with asymptomatic aortic valve stenosis with preserved left ventricle systolic function

Open Heart

Background A quarter of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) were asymptomatic, and only a third of them survived at the end of 4 years. Only a select subset of these patients was recommended for aortic valve replacement (AVR) by the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines.
