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.

Comprehensive strain assessment and mortality after acute myocardial infarction: a retrospective observational study based on the Essen Coronary Artery Disease registry

Heart BMJ

Background and aims Current ESC guidelines on the management of patients after acute myocardial infarction only include the evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function by assessment of the ejection fraction in addition to clinical risk scores to estimate the patient’s prognosis.

Predictors of outcome in patients with moderate mixed aortic valve disease

Heart BMJ

Univariable associations with the primary outcome included older age, previous myocardial infarction, previous cerebrovascular event, atrial fibrillation, New York Heart Association >2, worse renal function, tricuspid regurgitation ≥2 and mitral regurgitation ≥2. Over a follow-up of 3.5 (2.5–4.7)
