Transseptal Mitral Valve-in-Valve Procedure, Complete vs. Culprit-Only Revascularization in Older Patients, Hypertensive Pregnancy and MI Risk

American College of Cardiology

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at contemporary outcomes and trends for the transseptal mitral valve-in-valve procedure using balloon-expandable transcatheter valves. He then explores complete vs. culprit-only revascularization in older patients with myocardial infarction (MI) with or without ST-segment elevation.

European Journal of Heart Failure

The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI). Methods and results The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER.

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.

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.

Abstract WP317: Variations in the association between ECG Abnormalities and Stroke Subtypes: Findings from the INTERSTROKE Case-Control Study

Stroke Journal

The ECG abnormalities investigated included AF, recent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), P-pulmonale, and P-mitrale. Multivariate logistic regression, and multinomial regression by stroke severity, was performed and adjusted for covariates.
