This study examined whether HGF is associated with ECC in the aortic valve (AVC), mitral annulus (MAC), ascending thoracic aorta and descending thoracic aortic (DTAC). We used Poisson and linear mixed-effects regression models to estimate the association between HGF and ECC, adjusted for sociodemographic and CVD risk factors.

Six studies involved coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery; one encompassed various cardiac procedures, and another focused solely on mitral valve surgery. Results Eight studies published between 2021 and 2023 with 3,245 patients were included. The pooled incidence of POAF was 23.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 18.7%–29.2%].

A fib is a well-established risk factor for ischemic strokes. Systemic anticoagulation (AC) is effective in reducing stroke risk in patients with A fib. Patients with documented STEMI, left ventricular thrombus, mechanical mitral or aortic valve replacement were excluded. 5,661 underwent percutaneous closure.

He has no cardiovascular risk factors except smoking for 10 pack-years. For example, mid-anterolateral and mid-inferior segments generally harbor papillary muscles and infarction of these segments may result in acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture. His medical exam is unremarkable.
