The mechanisms underlying functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and the relation between mechanism and severity of MR have not been evaluated in a large, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)…
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is frequent and associated with adverse outcomes. We aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors for AKI after TAVI…
The evaluation of the aortic root in patients referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation is crucial. The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of cardiac magnetic…
Serum magnesium levels may be impacted by neurohormonal activation, renal function, and diuretics. The clinical profile and prognostic significance of serum magnesium level concentration in patients hospitalized for heart failure…
Multidetector row computed tomographic (MDCT) assessment of aortic annulus dimensions and frame position and deployment have been associated with paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAVR) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The…
There are no practical criteria for the use of triple antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. In our present report, pooled analysis of 3 randomized studies in patients with…
Although cardiovascular (CV) risks have been reported in prehypertension, their link to sympathovagal imbalance (SVI) has not been investigated. In the present study, we have assessed the factors contributing to…
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease that frequently causes quality of life (QoL) impairment. We aimed to evaluate whether fragility affects QoL perception in outpatients with HF across age…
Recently, we reported that angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), valsartan, and calcium channel blocker (CCB), amlodipine, had similar effects on the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in diabetic hypertensive…
The aim of the present study was to explore the relation between right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) echocardiographic parameters with clinical outcome in patients with advanced heart failure…
