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).

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

AF, atrial fibrillation; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RA, right atrial; RV, right ventricular; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; SVI, stroke volume index; TR, tricuspid regurgitation. Aims Paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (pLFLG AS) may represent a diagnostic challenge, and its pathophysiology is complex.
