Myxomatous degeneration of one or more cardiac valves has been reported in trisomy 18, Noonan, Marfan, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. 6q25.1 (TAB2) deletion is one of the notable causes for myxomatous degeneration of cardiac valves. Whole exome sequencing must be considered in these subsets of cases for effective prenatal counselling. A 23-week fetus presented with cardiomegaly, redundant myxomatous tricuspid, mitral valve leaflets, thickened pulmonary valve, and bicuspid aortic valves detected to have 6q25.1 (TAB2) deletion was presented with literature review.

The "respect" approach to surgical mitral valve repair, which involves implanting artificial neochordae, is gaining increased adoption. Surgeons are possibly prone to error in the manual construction of neochordae, which can lead to prolonged cross-clamp times. Novel systems such as Chord-X Pre-Measured Loops (On-X Life Technologies, Inc.

Background: Myxomatous mitral valve degeneration (MMVD) is a prevalent canine heart condition often accompanied by pulmonary hypertension (PH). Echocardiography is a valuable diagnostic tool for MMVD, but its accessibility is limited in small veterinary clinics.
Aim: This study aimed to identify clinical parameters and biochemistry and cardiac biomarkers as prognostic indicators for cardiac mortality in MMVD dogs with and without PH.

Article Synopsis
- Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) can present as either True-MAD or Pseudo-MAD, with the study identifying their prevalence in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
- Of the 603 patients studied, True-MAD was found in 7% while Pseudo-MAD was found in 37%, suggesting a significant reclassification of cases traditionally thought to be MAD.
- TTE proved to be a highly accurate and reliable tool for assessing mitral conditions, with accuracy ratings of 0.89 and strong intra/inter-rater reliability, affirming its value as a first-line assessment method in clinical settings.

A 28-year-old male presented with a sudden, transient visual impairment in the right eye. Brain MRI revealed no obvious ischemic lesions, and he was diagnosed with amaurosis fugax. Physical examination revealed characteristic features of Marfan syndrome, along with a family history of tall stature and valvular heart disease.

Impaired mitochondria cause an impressive decrease in ATP production becoming a common condition of cardiovascular diseases. Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction. By a non-invasive procedure of metabolism analysis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells, we exploit ex-vivo studies that directly constitute a translational approach to evaluate the cell bioenergetics.
