A 77-year-old male presented to the emergency department with dyspnea. A third-degree atrioventricular block was present in the electrocardiogram and an echocardiography showed a moderate mitral regurgitation with a diastolic functional insufficiency. Hemodynamic variations were assessed in the context of heart rhythm disturbances. ().

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.

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.

The mechanism and severity of mitral valve (MV) regurgitation (MR) play a critical role in guiding treatment decisions. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the primary diagnostic modality for evaluating MV disease. Discordant findings on TTE can be further quantified through transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.
