[Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and coronary optical coherence tomography : Acquisition techniques, interpretation and integration in diagnostic algorithms for MINOCA].

MINOCA is a heterogeneous entity with many possible etiologies that need to be clarified to optimize therapeutic interventions. Common causes include plaque disruption, plaque erosion, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary artery spasm, coronary thromboembolism. Most of the time, coronary angiography is inadequate to obtain the proper identification of these underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

[Infective prosthetic endocarditis following percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair - A Case-report of a successfully medically-treated Staphylococcus epidermidis endocarditis and a literature review].

During the last decade there has been a craze for the percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair technique with the Mitra-Clip device. This is an alternative treatment to mitral valve surgery for severe mitral regurgitation. In France, this device is aimed at poor candidates for mitral valve surgery.

A high prevalence of arterial hypertension in patients with mitochondrial diseases.

The prevalence of arterial hypertension in mitochondrial diseases remains unknown. Between January 2000 and May 2014, we retrospectively included patients with genetically proven mitochondrial diseases. We recorded clinical, genetic and cardiac exploration data, including the measure of arterial pressure.
