TCT 640: Trends in Patients With and Without End Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Transcatheter Edge-To-Edge Mitral Valve Repair Receive the the latest news, research, and presentations from major ...

Aortic stenosis happens when your aortic valve does not open all the way causing pressure to build in the left ventricle. This pressure blocks blood flow as it leaves the heart. In other words, the ...

Mechanisms of heart-valve disease often mimic processes observed in embryonic and early childhood development, including activation of valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotypes and remodeling of ...

Someone living with aortic stenosis that progresses quickly often has a worse outlook. But you can take steps to catch this heart issue early and work with your healthcare team to treat it. Your ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to alter ...

The nitric oxide-independent soluble guanylate cyclase activator ataciguat continued to show promise for slowing the progression of fibrocalcific aortic valve stenosis in phase I and II studies.

The aortic valve allows blood to leave the heart and travel through the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. Aortic stenosis is when this heart valve narrows and doesn’t open fully. The ...
