TL;DR: Mitral regurgitation has a prevalence of 2% in the general population and is even more common in the elderly, while functional MR is a consequence of pathology affecting one or more components of the mitral valve apparatus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise ventilation inefficiency in heart failure: pathophysiological and clinical significance.
TL;DR: There is an increasing interest for the exercise periodic breathing, which is frequently associated with HF syndrome and has prognostic importance, and the precise mechanisms sustaining exercise periodic Breathing are not fully defined but ventilatory and metabo-haemodynamic hypotheses have been proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of dynamic left ventricular dyssynchrony on dynamic mitral regurgitation in patients with heart failure due to coronary artery disease
TL;DR: In patients with heart failure, exercise-induced increases in mitral regurgitation (MR), which convey a poor prognosis, are related to the dynamic distortion of mitral valve geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise Testing in Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
TL;DR: Exercise stress test may identify resting asymptomatic patients who develop exercise abnormalities and in whom surgery is recommended according to current guidelines, and may provide incremental prognostic value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic significance of angina pectoris before first acute myocardial infarction
TL;DR: The comparison of nonsurvivors and survivors showed that the patients who died were older, presented more frequently with a non-Q-wave myocardial infarct and more often had left ventricular failure and complete bundle branch block during hospital stay.
