Article Synopsis
- A rare case of complete dislodgement of a mechanical mitral valve is reported in a 50-year-old woman who experienced sudden cardiogenic shock two decades after her valve replacement.
- Severe malfunction of the valve was diagnosed using echocardiograms, revealing significant issues including the prosthetic valve components floating in the left atrium.
- Following immediate intervention with a new bioprosthetic valve, the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged in good health, highlighting the vital role of echocardiography in assessing prosthetic valve issues.
Body mass index, neck circumference, and hypertension: a prospective cohort study.
Front Cardiovasc Med
October 2023
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between BMI combined with neck circumference and the risk of hypertension.
Methods: We selected participants from the Kailuan study in 2014 who were normotensive as our research subjects. We compared the risk of hypertension among individuals in group 1 (non-obese with low neck circumference), group 2 (non-obese with high neck circumference), group 3 (obese with low neck circumference), and group 4 (obese with high neck circumference).
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) represents one of the most prevalent congenital malformations. However, few studies use whole-population screening by colour Doppler ultrasonic diagnostic system to identify CHD among live infants. We estimate the prevalence of CHD and its major risk indicators among infants aged less than 6 months in urban Tianjin, China.

The present study tested the effect of this method with transplantation of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in acute myocardial infarction.
Methods And Results: Infarction was produced in mini-swine by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.
