If you have never heard of heartvalvedisease, you're not alone.
2
Mitral valve (MV) insufficiency is the second most common heartvalvedisease represented in cardiac surgery.
3
Much remains to be discovered about the etiology of heartvalvedisease and the molecular level mechanisms that drive it.
4
As much as any other field in medicine the treatment of heartvalvedisease has experienced a renaissance in the last 10 years.
5
Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the commonest form of heartvalvedisease in high-income countries and set to become a major health care burden.
1
Physical check-ups among athletes with valvularheartdisease are of significant relevance.
2
Background: Aortic stenosis is the most common valvularheartdisease in the United States.
3
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most frequent valvularheartdisease in developed countries.
4
Patients with coronary heart disease, valvularheartdisease, or cardiomyopathy were excluded from the study.
5
Objective: Serotonergic appetite suppressants and ergot-derived dopamine agonists have been associated with drug-induced valvularheartdisease.
1
Calcific aortic valve stenosis, the most frequent heartvalvedisorder in developed countries, is an actively regulated process with similarities to bone formation.
1
Due to the increasing number of heartvalvediseases, there is an urgent clinical need for off-the-shelf tissue engineered heart valves.
2
This imaging modality currently provides realistic views of cardiac valves capable of demonstrating the anatomy of various heartvalvediseases in a unique, noninvasive manner.
3
Heartvalvediseases (HVDs) arise from a number of different processes that affect both the structure and function of the valve apparatus.
