Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how different success definitions for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) affect long-term outcomes in patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis.
- - Researchers analyzed three success criteria related to mitral valve area (MVA) and mitral regurgitation (MR) and found that achieving any of these definitions was linked to a lower risk of adverse outcomes like mortality and the need for additional heart procedures.
- - All three success definitions were shown to significantly impact patient prognosis, with the most favorable outcomes occurring in patients with an MVA of at least 1.5 cm and controlled MR levels.
Microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) have many critical roles, including control of vascular tone, regulation of thrombosis, and angiogenesis. Significant heterogeneity in endothelial cell (EC) genotype and phenotype depends on their vascular bed and host disease state. The ability to isolate MVECs from tissue-specific vascular beds and individual patient groups offers the opportunity to directly compare MVEC function in different disease states.
