The data indicate it’s worth a shot to try TEER in many with secondary MR, but clinical judgement is critical.

Traditional operative risk calculators, such as the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroSCORE II), ...

The approval of GAMMAGARD LIQUID ERC reinforces our commitment to supporting individualized treatment approaches for people with primary immunodeficiency, including a therapeutic option that has the ...

Preoperative echocardiographic pulmonary artery systolic pressure was found to be associated with the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 after surgery in pulmonary hypertension patients. A pulmonary artery ...

Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by a resting mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg by right heart catheterization. Systolic pulmonary artery pressures are used as surrogate ...

Abstract Objective To investigate the correlation between mildly elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) on echocardiography and mortality, as well as long-term changes in PASP. Design ...

Association of elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure with hematologic progression in myeloproliferative neoplasms. Authors: Orly Leiva, Steven Soo, Chi-Joan How, Nathaniel Smilowitz, Binita Shah ...

They also correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), which reflects the pressure during left ventricle filling that’s used to diagnose certain types of PH. Final statistical analyses ...

Quick Takes No difference in longitudinal pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was noted by sex or race. However, PASP increased more in older participants. Increases in PASP were associated with ...

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) increases during late life and predicts the development of dyspnea, highlighting the importance of risk factor assessment and control over the life course ...

TCT 121: Change in Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Low-flow Low-gradient Aortic Stenosis and its Prognostic Implications ...

Pulmonary atresia: This condition is when the pulmonary valve does not open properly, which leads to diminished blood flow from the heart to the lungs. The symptoms of pulmonary atresia include rapid ...
