A fighter pilot with a single left frontal lobe infarction and probable mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular arrhythmias is presented. He was found unfit for flying duties as a fighter pilot, but because of his experience and expertise he was r...
Nearly all forms of valve surgery are incompatible with fitness to fly. The biological valves have a small but definite thrombo-embolic risk and are prone to late failure. The prosthetic valves require long-term anticoagulant therapy and carry an una...
BACKGROUND: Severe primary (degenerative) mitral regurgitation (MR) is repaired with durable results when simple single-scallop disease is addressed. The midterm quality outcomes of minimally invasive repair for complex disease are unknown, however.

PURPOSE: Carpentier's functional classification is a guide to explain the types of mitral valve regurgitation based on morphological features. There are four types of pathological morphologies, regardless of the presence or absence of mitral regurgit...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a prominent cause of death globally. The introduction of medical big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology encouraged the effort to develop and deploy deep learning models for distinguishing heart sound a...
Purpose To use unsupervised machine learning to identify phenotypic clusters with increased risk of arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with MVP without hemodynamically significant ...
