Relationship between CHA2DS2-VASC score, P wave indices and echocardiographic parameters in patients without atrial fibrillation and without valve disease
INTRODUÇÃO: O escore CHA2DS2-VASc é utilizado como preditor de desfecho cardiovascular mesmo na ausência de fibrilação atrial (FA). Diversos índices de onda P e parâmetros ecocardiográficos associam-se a maior risco de desenvolvimento de FA e tromboembolismo, entretanto, há poucos estudos em pa...
INTRODUCTION: Mitral valve stenosis (MVS) is one of the most common structural heart diseases in developing countries, primarily due to rheumatic disease. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) has been, since its introduction in 1984, the preferred option of treatment for such disease. However...
Clinical and echocardiographic predictors independent of restenosis after valvuloplasty percutaneous mitral valve balloon after follow-up up to 24 years old
INTRODUÇÃO: A estenose da válvula mitral (EM) é uma das doenças cardíacas estruturais mais comuns nos países em desenvolvimento, principalmente devido à doença reumática. A valvoplastia mitral percutânea por balão (VMPB) tem sido, desde sua introdução em 1984, a opção preferencial de trat...
BACKGROUND Mitral valve stenosis is one of the most common structural heart diseases in developing countries and is primarily due to rheumatic disease.

ABSTRACT Background and Aim: Ventricular function evaluation in coarctation of the aorta (CoA) has become more sophisticated and precise with speckle tracking, revealing subclinical changes. However, CoA stenting treatment effects in on myocardial strain are still controversial. This study aimed to estim...
