When any disease process decreases the mitral valve area, mitral stenosis (MS) develops. As mitral stenosis progresses, increased left atrial pressure is required to maintain stroke volume.

Mitral valve disease is a condition that affects the mitral valve, causing blood to leak backward or flow too slowly, and can ...

It was concluded that severe mitral stenosis, with pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary valvular insufficiency, was present. On June 10 a Starr–Edwards mitral-valve prosthesis was inserted ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is present in 30-40% of patients presenting for mitral valve surgery. In patients undergoing mitral valve repair, the presence of AF may be associated with increased ...

The following is a summary of "Tissue-tracking mitral annular displacement predicts impaired left ventricular mechanics and ...

Women with conditions like mitral valve prolapse or rheumatic mitral ... valve disease through initiatives like Target: Aortic Stenosis, which aims to improve timely diagnosis, appropriate ...

In the United States about 10% of aortic stenosis is caused by rheumatic disease and the remainder by calcification of a unicuspid, bicuspid, or normal trileaflet valve. [11–14] Calcific aortic ...

Why it matters: Edwards reached an inflection point in 2024 with transcatheter aortic valve, or TAVR, sales slowing, while the launch of and revenue from new transcatheter mitral and tricuspid ...

When any disease process decreases the mitral valve area, mitral stenosis (MS) develops. As mitral stenosis progresses over time, the pressure in the left atrium rises. This pressure is ...
