Outcome Prediction score for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in patients with concomitant significant tricuspid regurgitation.

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) adversely affects prognosis following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). We aimed to derive a risk stratification tool for patients undergoing TEER for mitral regurgitation while exhibiting significant TR.

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective analysis of 217 consecutive individuals referred to an isolated mitral TEER who had moderate-to-severe or greater TR at baseline.

Hand ulceration.

In the American Southwest, a common problem can be diagnosed with the knowledge of the local environment and its inhabitants.

Left ventricular mass in a patient with severe heart failure.

Introduction: Cardiac masses have a wide range of etiologies with the most common being thrombi and less commonly tumors. However, in Sub-Saharan Africa other etiologies not commonly seen in developed countries such as endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) must be considered. EMF is a disease process associated with poverty, a poor diet, and eosinophilia although its pathology is poorly understood.
