Unraveling the Mechanisms of Valvular Heart Disease to Identify Medical Therapy Targets: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Valvular heart disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and has no effective medical therapy. Severe disease is managed with valve replacement procedures, which entail high health care–related costs and postprocedural morbidity and mortality.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Poverall=0.765; 1 year: 1.4%

Leaky Heart Valves

Dr. Sanjay Gupta

We are blessed with 4 heart valves – 2 on the left side which are known as the mitral and aortic valves and 2 on the right side – the tricuspid and pulmonary valves. This is why this condition is known as a condition of volume overload – slowly the amount of the blood in circulation increases.
