| Causes of chronic mitral regurgitation include infective endocarditis, degenerative valvular disease and rheumatic fever. |
|
| The procedure was uneventful, and the patient has fully recovered without tricuspid valvular dysfunction or other sequelae. |
|
| This is not to disregard the importance of treating the etiology of CHF by improving coronary circulation or correcting valvular abnormalities. |
|
| Hypertension is an obvious risk factor in our patient, and corrected tetralogy of Fallot can be considered as valvular disease. |
|
| The cases examined here emphasized the marked individual variation in severity and location of valvular lesions induced by anorectic agents. |
|
| If valvular disease occurs, it is most likely in the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary valve, in that order. |
|
| The usual pattern of involvement is focal or diffuse plaques of thickened valvular or mural endocardium. |
|
| It may culminate in chronic valvular disease and can lead to heart failure and ultimately death. |
|
| Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and mitral valve prolapse with valvular regurgitation are associated with moderately increased risk. |
|
| The hallmarks of rheumatic fever include arthritis, carditis, cutaneous disease, chorea, and subsequent acquired valvular disease. |
|
| We decided to monitor his valvular disease with clinical examinations and echocardiograms. |
|
| Echocardiograms did not reveal left heart dysfunction or valvular disease in any patient. |
|
| Narrowing of the arteries and valvular disease of the heart both replace the relative quiet of smooth blood flow with the gurgles of turbulence. |
|
| There are few data about the impact of depression on valvular surgery patients. |
|
| No data support the safety and efficacy of exercise training in patients with heart failure and mild to moderate stenotic or regurgitant valvular disease. |
|
| Saphenous veins diameter and valvular functional insufficiency were evaluated by sonography and pulsed Doppler. |
|
| In 1995, she received a diagnosis of mild valvular heart disease. |
|
| Mitral and aortic valvular defects and myocardial disease can be evaluated by this technique. |
|
| For example, surgical intervention may be used to repair congenital or valvular heart defects. |
|
| In many persons with rheumatic valvular disease, more than one valve is involved. |
|
|
|
| The clinic is under the direct supervision of a cardiac surgeon with expertise in valvular surgery. |
|
| With valvular stenosis, the heart has to work harder to push a normal volume of blood through the body. |
|
| In a condition called valvular insufficiency, the valve does not close completely. |
|
| Sometimes, a valve may not open properly-a condition called valvular stenosis. |
|
| Referring physicians and patients that have had valvular surgery are invited to contact the clinical manager to arrange for an appointment. |
|
| Dr. Chan's research interests include valvular heart disease, infective endocarditis and aortic diseases. |
|
| Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and valvular stenosis may lead to the sudden onset of unconsciousness during exercise. |
|
| Another type of congenital abnormality affects the heart valves, causing valvular insufficiency or obstruction. |
|
| Common causes of heart failure include myocardial infarction and other forms of ischemic heart disease, hypertension, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy. |
|
| The echocardiograph revealed normal left ventricular function with no significant valvular disease. |
|
| Milrinone Lactate Injection should not be used in lieu of surgical relief of the obstruction in patients with severe obstructive aortic or pulmonic valvular disease. |
|
| The first artificial heart valve was inserted by Albert Starr in 1960 and the lives of thousands of patients with previously untreatable valvular heart disease were transformed. |
|
| It will allow Quebec to develop and maintain a high level of expertise in heart surgery, and above all, it will give hope to patients who have to actually undergo valvular surgery. |
|
| Jenner contributed papers on angina pectoris, ophthalmia, and cardiac valvular disease and commented on cowpox. |
|
| All crocodiles have rather keen hearing and have an external ear made up of a short tube closed by a strong valvular flap that ends at the tympanum. |
|
| The primary goal of this approach is to avoid potential heart failure associated with complications of congenital or valvular defects, such as ventricular overload. |
|
| The marked increase in cardiac preload during immersion can precipitate pulmonary edema in patients with impaired left ventricular function or significant valvular disease. |
|
| This is further proof that the problem in varix treatment is not just a mechanical valvular one, but a much more general one that is certainly affected by metabolic and hormonal phenomena. |
|
| Incompetent deep veins lead to a reflux of blood pedally with the resultant dilation of distal veins, which itself causes valvular incompetence, setting up a vicious cycle. |
|
| It was Charles Sherrington who named that valvular connection the synapse. |
|
|
|
| In both New England Journal of Medicine studies, valvular abnormalities in patients taking pergolide or cabergoline were seen in the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves. |
|
| Cardiac physical examination revealed murmurs of mitral stenosis and regurgitation, a prominent a wave in the jugular venous pulse, and a loud pulmonic valvular closure sound. |
|
| In both New England Journal of Medicine studies, valvular abnormalities in patients taking either drug were seen in the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves. |
