Article Synopsis
- Aortic stenosis (AS) leads to different patterns of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in patients, impacting their clinical outcomes after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
- A study involving 1,703 patients categorized them based on their LV mass and wall thickness, revealing that those with eccentric hypertrophy (EH) experienced significantly higher mortality rates within one and five years post-procedure compared to other groups.
- Additionally, genetic factors measured by polygenic risk scores (PRS) may help predict the development of hypertrophy patterns and could provide insights into future treatment options for patients with AS.
Enhanced oestradiol secretion briefly after embryo transfer in conception cycles from IVF.
Reprod Biomed Online
September 2004
The hypothesis was tested that conception cycles (CC) resulting from IVF can be distinguished from non-conception cycles (NC) by differences in corpora lutea function that are detectable at the earliest stage of embryo implantation. Luteal oestradiol secretion was analysed retrospectively in 409 ovarian stimulation cycles of 296 patients from the day of embryo transfer until 14 days after embryo transfer (ET+14) in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was administered in 330 of 409 cycles in addition to vaginal progesterone in all cycles.
