Progression of aortic stenosis after an acute myocardial infarction

Open Heart

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) has been shown to induce fibrotic remodelling of the mitral and tricuspid valves. It is unknown whether MI also induces pathological remodelling of the aortic valve and alters aortic stenosis (AS) progression. vs –0.04±0.04 cm 2 /m 2 /year; p=0.004).

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

EMS 12-Lead

There is ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of abnormal loading conditions, such as aortic stenosis, or hypertension, for example – of which the most common variant is Asymmetric Septal Hypertrophy. New insights into the use of the 12-lead electrocardiogram for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department.

Predictors of outcome in patients with moderate mixed aortic valve disease

Heart BMJ

Objectives Grading the severity of moderate mixed aortic stenosis and regurgitation (MAVD) is challenging and the disease poorly understood. Methods Moderate MAVD was defined as coexisting moderate aortic stenosis (aortic valve area (AVA) 1.0–1.5 cm 2 ) and moderate aortic regurgitation (vena contracta (VC) 0.3–0.6

Right ventricular dysfunction and impaired right ventricular–pulmonary arterial coupling in paradoxical low‐flow, low‐gradient aortic stenosis

European Journal of Heart Failure

Aims Paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (pLFLG AS) may represent a diagnostic challenge, and its pathophysiology is complex.
