The P terminal force does not indicate the type of valvular disease present, nor does it correlate with any one specific hemodynamic measure. The abnormality does appear to be related, within each ...

Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease -- aortic valve stenosis -- progresses differently in males and females.

Exercise Doppler echocardiography is useful in patients with valvular heart diseases allowing the evaluation of symptoms and exercise capacity and the assessment of the hemodynamic consequences of ...

Management of these valvular diseases is multifactorial as both the underlying malignancy and the cardiac symptoms need to be addressed which typically requires an interdisciplinary approach. While ...
