Take a moment to focus on the heart sounds and to orient yourself to the cardiac cycle. This is the best place to hear S1, mitral valve murmurs, and S3 and S4 gallops.

Murmurs are described by their timing in the cardiac cycle, intensity, shape ... Determining if coexisting mitral regurgitation is the cause of the apical murmur in a patient with AS requires ...

US-based Cardiac Dimensions is investigating the device, called the Carillon Mitral Contour System, in the EMPOWER study (NCT03142152). The randomised trial is designed to assess the safety and ...

Murmurs are described by their timing in the cardiac cycle, intensity, shape, pitch, location, radiation and response to dynamic maneuvers. Using the aforementioned criteria, a clinician can ...

Decreased serotonin transporter activity in the mitral valve contributes to progression of degenerative mitral regurgitation. Science Translational Medicine , 2023; 15 (677) DOI: 10.1126 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms were trained to automatically extract data from routine angiograms on left and right ventricular function, intracardiac filling pressures, and cardiac index ...

YNHH cardiac surgeons publish case study of 200 successful robotic-assisted mitral valve repairs. YNHH case study of 200 robotic-assisted mitral valve repairs for degenerative mitral regurgitation saw ...

Serotonin can impact the mitral valve of the heart and potentially accelerate a cardiac condition known as degenerative mitral regurgitation, according to a new study led by researchers at ...

Cardiac Dimensions has secured $53m in a Series E funding round to support its ongoing pivotal trial assessing the company’s mitral valve repair device. The round was led by investment ...
