Insights

Assessing coronary lesions with pressure and flow velocity is crucial for intermediate or indeterminate cases. However, complex lesions and certain patient conditions may limit the effectiveness of these measurements alone.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • Interventional cardiology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Translesional pressure and flow velocity are key hemodynamic parameters.
  • Intermediate or indeterminate coronary lesions require accurate assessment for intervention.
  • Ostial narrowings and long lesions present unique challenges in lesion evaluation.

Mitral Stenosis I: Introduction

Mitral Valve Stenosis (MVS) is a heart condition where the mitral valve narrows, impeding blood circulation from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are multifaceted, leading to a cascade of cardiovascular complications.Causes of Mitral Valve StenosisRheumatic Heart Disease: It is the main cause of mitral valve stenosis, particularly in developing nations. This condition arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory illness resulting from...
