A new formula that uses hemodynamic measurements to assess aortic regurgitation during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can better predict 1-year mortality than echocardiography alone, ...

November 4, 2011 (Tayside, Scotland) — With growing excitement over the emergence of transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI), might there still be room for an even less invasive option in ...

IN patients with advanced aortic regurgitation Korotkoff sounds may be heard over the brachial artery when the sphygmomanometer cuff has been completely deflated. Diastolic pressures obtained by ...

Barcelona, Spain - New data published this week question the role of vasodilators in patients with asymptomatic, chronic, severe aortic regurgitation [1]. In the randomized study, published in the ...

High mortality in elderly patients followed over a decade might complicate the lessons learned compared with SAVR.

Among young adults with aortic regurgitation (AR), those undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) before they met standard criteria were more likely to achieve good results from the surgery, a study ...

Aortic insufficiency is a potentially severe condition that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood. There are many possible causes for this condition. Aortic insufficiency is a form of heart valve ...

Aortic valve disease is a condition that occurs when your aorta (the main artery of your body) and left ventricle (the lower left chamber of your heart) malfunction. The aortic valve determines how ...

Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the trial's ...

Aortic regurgitation (AR) may occur due to damage to the aortic valve leaflets or as a result of dilation of the aortic annulus. As the disease progresses, symptoms of heart failure eventually occur.

PARIS -- The early commercial experience with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR or TAVI) for severe aortic regurgitation appeared promising, though device size issues and conduction ...

What is responsible for the myriad physical examination findings in patients with severe aortic regurgitation, including pulsation of multiple organs? When will the murmur of aortic valve ...
