First Case of Two Heart Valve Replacements in A Single Day in India

Indian-Canadian patient successfully underwent two heart valve replacements by doctors at Eternal Hospital who performed TAVI and TMVR. The procedure was led by Ravinder Singh Rao, an interventional cardiologist and structural heart disease ...

Researchers Develop 3D Print Lifelike Heart Valve Models

3D-printed lifelike models of the heart's aortic valve and the surrounding structures that mimic the exact look and feel of a real patient have been developed by a team of researchers. These patient-specific organ models, which ...

New Artificial Heart Valve Could Last Up to 25 Years without Anticoagulants

New artificial heart valve has passed safety checks needed to enter human trials, boosting hopes that it could transform open heart surgery for millions of patients every year. The heart valve could also prevent the need for patients with diseased ...

New Ultrasound Therapy for Aortic Stenosis Developed

A new Non-Invasive Ultrasound Therapy (NIUT) for the treatment of cardio-valvular diseases such as aortic stenosis has been developed by Cardiawave (France). A First-in-Man clinical trial in 10 patients to validate Cardiawave's innovative ...

High Cholesterol Levels Raise the Risk of Aortic Valve Disease

Cholesterol levels may not affect the risk of developing aortic or mitral valve regurgitation, but it increases the risk of aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis is the most common form of heart valve disease in developed countries and is thought ...

Risk of Heart Valve Infections are on the Rise in Hospitals

People with heart disease or artificial or defective heart valves are at a higher risk of developing a potentially deadly valve infection, reveals a new study. The study published in The American Journal of Cardiology highlights the need for ...

Defective Cilia Tied to Heart Valve Birth Defects: Study

Mutations in ciliary genes cause bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common heart valve birth defect and aortic valve narrowing. The findings of the study are published in the journal Circulation . A healthy aortic valve has three leaflets; ...

Cardiac Tissue Remodeling After Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures Explored

Biomaterial-based "mimics" of heart tissues to measure patients' responses to an aortic valve replacement procedure has been developed by University of Colorado Boulder engineers and faculty from the Consortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation ...

Lifetime Exposure to High Systolic BP Associated With Heart Valve Disease

Elevated systolic blood pressure with 20-mmHg increments is linked to major valvular heart disease, reveals a new study. Valvular heart disease presents as aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation. The only effective ...

Heart Valve Procedure 'Safe' for Patients with Common Heart Defect

Patients with a common heart defect who undergo catheter-based valve replacement procedures were found to have the same survival and complication rates as patients without the defect who undergo the same procedure. A new analysis was conducted ...

New Approach Reduce the Risk of Block in Heart Valve Replacement

Novel technique LAMPOON developed by the researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) could aid to treat high-risk patients who were previously not eligible for heart valve procedure. Their findings were published in The ...

Patients With Aortic Stenosis may benefit from Early Valve Replacement

An aggressive strategy of early valve replacement may benefit patients with severe aortic stenosis who have no symptoms than from a conservative watch-and-wait approach, reveals new study. The research is published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery ...

New Heart Valve Can Reduce Complications Related to Heart Transplants

Newly developed nanocomposite biomaterial heart-valve can reduce or eliminate complications related to heart transplants, according to a new study led by a team of researchers at UBC. By using a newly developed technique, the researchers were ...

Scientists Design, Test Aortic Heart Valve Replacements

Aortic heart valve replacements made of polymers rather than animal heart tissues have been designed and tested by NIBIB-funded engineers. The goal is to optimize ...

New Insights into Heart Valve Disease

Early detection of heart valve disease was found to be the key to avoiding surgery, said researchers. In recognition of National Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day on Feb.22, MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute hosted a flagship event at MedStar ...
