Journal ArticleDOI
Obstruction of mechanical heart valve prostheses: clinical aspects and surgical management.
TL;DR: One hundred patients (32 male) aged 5 months to 82 years (median 32 years) underwent 106 surgical procedures for 112 mechanical prosthetic valves obstructed by a thrombus or pannus between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1989.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peripartum cardiomyopathy: analysis of clinical outcome, left ventricular function, plasma levels of cytokines and Fas/APO-1
TL;DR: Cytokine and sFas levels are elevated in patients with PPC, and despite treatment with ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, mortality remains high, however, in 34% of the patients, left ventricular function almost completely normalized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomised investigation of effects of pentoxifylline on left-ventricular performance in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
TL;DR: It is suggested that pentoxifylline improves symptoms and left-ventricular systolic function in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and these results must be confirmed in larger-scale trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spectrum of severe rheumatic mitral valve disease in a developing country. Correlations among clinical presentation, surgical pathologic findings, and hemodynamic sequelae.
TL;DR: In this paper, the demographic, pathologic, and hemodynamic profiles of patients with severe rheumatic mitral valve disease in a developing country and assess their relation to uncontrol control were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of outcome after valve replacement for rheumatic mitral regurgitation in the era of chordal preservation
TL;DR: When preoperative end-systolic diameter is more than 50 mm, a poor postoperative outcome is predicted despite chordal preservation in relatively young patients with rheumatic mitral regurgitation, and alternative strategies should therefore be considered.
