Persistent tricuspid regurgitation and its predictor in adults after percutaneous and isolated surgical closure of secundum atrial septal defect.

13 Sep 2009 The fate of functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after closure of a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) without any corrective tricuspid valve (TV) surgery remains unclear. We investigated this and the predictors of persistent TR after ASD ... Read more...

Right ventricular pacing improves right heart function in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension: a study in the isolated heart.

2 Sep 2009 Right heart failure in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PH) is associated with mechanical ventricular dyssynchrony, which leads to impaired right ventricular (RV) function and, by adverse diastolic interaction, to impaired left ventricular (LV) ... Read more...

Update in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to highlight and place in context recent advances in and insights into the natural history, diagnosis, and management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). RECENT FINDINGS: Although the diagnosis of IPF remains ... Read more...
