pulmonary stenosis treatment infants :: Article Creator Study Supports Minimally Invasive Procedure As Aortic Stenosis Treatment Patients with a dysfunctional aortic heart valve who received a new, prosthetic valve through a minimally invasive procedure had similar outcomes at five years as those who underwent open-heart surgery, a new study shows. The international multicenter study, with key contributions by the Cedars-Sinai heart team and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, offers a more complete picture to the ongoing dialogue comparing the minimally invasive heart procedure—called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR—to open-heart surgery. "Our data at five years validate that TAVR is a good alternative to open-heart surgery in younger patients with aortic stenosis," said Raj Makkar, MD, Cedars-Sinai's vice president of Cardiovascular Innovation and Intervention, associate director of the Smidt Hea...

lv systolic dysfunction :: Article Creator Left Ventricular Systolic Function And Diastolic Filling After Intermittent High Intensity Team Sports Abstract Background: Prolonged steady state exercise can lead to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function as well as promote the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). There is limited information on the effect of intermittent high intensity exercise of moderate duration. Objectives: To determine the effect of intermittent high intensity exercise of moderate duration on LV function. Methods: Nineteen male rugby and football players (mean (SD) age 21 (2) years) volunteered. Assessments, before, immediately after, and 24 hours after competitive games, included body mass, heart rate (HR), and systolic blood pressure (sBP) as well as echocardiography to assess stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), systolic blood pressure/end systolic volume ratio (sBP/ESV), and global diastolic filling (E:A) as...
