Chronic mitral regurgitation: a pilot study to assess preoperative left ventricular contractile function using speckle-tracking echocardiography

TL;DR: IVS longitudinal speckle tracking-derived strain rate allows the accurate detection of early abnormalities in LV contractile function and is a powerful predictor of early postoperative LVEF decreases in patients with chronic severe MR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcomes From Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Less Than 30%: A Substudy From the TOPAS-TAVI Registry.

TL;DR: The TAVR procedure was associated with a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with LFLG AS and severeleft ventricular dysfunction, and these results support T AVR for LFLg AS, irrespective of the severity of left vent cardiac dysfunction and DSE results.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cause and Long-Term Outcome of Cardiac Tamponade

TL;DR: Most cardiac tamponades are due to malignancy, having this specific cause a poorer outcome, probably as a manifestation of an advanced disease, especially the iatrogenic.
