Abstract: In patients with mechanical valves in the aortic and mitral positions, percutaneous access to the left ventricle (LV) for catheter ablation (CA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is challenging. We have recently described a novel percutaneous… read more here.

Abstract: The debate about the optimal mitral valve prosthesis continues. We aimed to compare the early and late outcomes, including stroke, bleeding, survival, and reoperation after isolated mitral valve replacement (MVR) using tissue versus mechanical valves. read more here.

Abstract: Rationale: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvopathy that leads to mitral insufficiency, heart failure and sudden death. Functional genomic studies in mitral valves are needed to better characterize MVP associated variants and target… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.840647
Abstract: Cardiac valves exhibit highly complex structures and specialized functions that include dynamic interactions between cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) and their hemodynamic environment. Valvular gene expression is tightly regulated by a variety of mechanisms including epigenetic… read more here.
