  • Until percutaneous valve technology for large RVOTs is refined and more widely available, branch PA valve implantation remains an option for select patients. (duke.edu)
  • Two patients were managed by pulmonary valvotomy, three by systemic-pulmonary artery shunt, and two had a combination of the two. (unipd.it)
  • We aimed to identify right ventricular (RV) electrophysiological parameters potentially associated with a higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with rTOF. (revespcardiol.org)
  • UChicago Medicine's multidisciplinary team delivers the highest level of patient-centered care for structural and heart valve disease.Through constant collaboration and discussion, we create personal treatment plans designed to maximize overall outcomes and quality of life, including those with complex cases or high-risk patients.

  • Patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease usually have an aortic valve repair or aortic valve replacement surgery to prevent further heart problems. (uchicagomedicine.org)
  • Paravalvular leaks occur in patients who have undergone valve repairs or replacements. (uchicagomedicine.org)
  • Increased precordial activity is commonly felt in patients with increased right or left ventricular stroke volume. (aafp.org)

  • This thesis investigated the influence of several methods to measure right ventricular volumes, as well as how to interpret right ventricular volumes and function in patients with different congenital heart diseases. (rug.nl)
  • In addition to this insufficient valve, some patients also have a partly obstructed right ventricular outflow tract. (rug.nl)
  • This study is designed to compare left ventricular diastolic function among patients divided by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and corrected P wave dispersion (PWDC) and assess whether the combination of baPWV and PWDC can predict LVDD more accurately. (medsci.org)
  • Screening patients by means of baPWV and PWDC might help identify the high risk group of elevated left ventricular filling pressure and LVDD. (medsci.org)
  • Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function is useful in risk stratification for patients with cardiovascular disease and can provide a diagnostic clue for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. (medsci.org)
