Aim: To determine whether VKORC1 rs9923231, CYP2C9 rs1057910, CYP4F2 rs2108622 and ORM1 rs17650 genotypes contribute to warfarin therapy in patients during initiation and maintenance anticoagulation treatment after heart valve surgery.
Methods: 287 Chinese patients with warfarin treatment more than three month after heart valve replacement operations were enrolled. Blood was collected from each subject for DNA extraction and genotyping. Analyzing the relationship between genotypes and warfarin curative effect.
Results: Their mean age was 48.0 ± 10.5 years old. During the initiation phase, the growth rate of INR was partial correlated with VKORC1 rs9923231, CYP2C9 rs1057910 and ORM1 rs17650, respectively. Compared with AG or GG genotypes of VKORC1 c.-1639 carriers, patients with VKORC1 c.-1639AA reached target INR therapeutic range faster (P<0.001) and has a high risk of overanticoagulation (P<0.001). Carriers of at least one CYP2C9 *3 allele reached the target INR therapeutic range and supra-therapeutic INR were faster than CYP2C9 wild-type carriers (P=0.032, P=0.032, respectively). CYP4F2 rs2108622 could significantly influence on time to the target INR therapeutic range and time to INR above 3.0 after hierarchical analysis with VKORC1, CYP2C9 and ORM1 (P=0.011, P=0.044, respectively). VKORC1 rs9923231, CYP2C9 rs1057910 and ORM1 rs17650 were significantly influence the %TTR in three months (P=0.031, P=0.008, P=0.001, respectively). During the maintenance phase, VKORC1 c.-1639AA carriers spent more time at supra-therapeutic INRs (P<0.001). CYP2C9 rs1057910, CYP4F2 rs2108622 and ORM1 rs17650 gene variants did not affect outcome parameters in maintenance phase.
Conclusions: This study found that genetic factors could significantly affected on warfarin therapy in Chinese. Meanwhile, genetic variations play a more important role in the initial phase than did in maintenance phase of warfarin therapy.

Aims: This study compared echocardiography (echo) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) in measuring the Wilkins score and evaluated the potential added benefit of CT in predicting immediate percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) outcomes in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) patients deemed eligible for PMV by echo.
Methods And Results: From a multicentre registry of 3,140 patients with at least moderate MS, we included 96 patients (age 56.4±11.

The pulmonary valve (PV), although often less emphasized than other heart valves, is crucial for cardiac function and hemodynamics. Historically, the PV has been underrepresented in echocardiographic assessments due to its rare involvement in pathological conditions, particularly in adults. Additionally, the anatomical position of the PV makes it one of the most challenging valves to visualize using conventional echocardiography.

Background: Despite advancements in valve implantation devices, vascular access complications (VAC) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for those undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe pre-operative imaging analysis of the aortoiliac and femoral arterial beds using the TransAtlantic intersociety consensus (TASC) score, ilio-femoral tortuosity, and procedural characteristics to identify anatomic risk factors predictive of VAC in TAVR.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR from 2012 to 2022 at a single North Dakota hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-established treatment option for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis; however, clinical valve thrombosis is a major challenge.
Case Summary: A 92-year-old woman underwent TAVR for severe aortic stenosis. One month later, the patient developed acute heart failure.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.
