Left atrioventricular valve insufficiency and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction are the most common postoperative complications and may warrant frequent follow-up and potential reintervention ...

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) adds important information to two-dimensional echocardiography in identifying anatomical abnormalities in the atrioventricular valve (AVV) that contribute to ...

NEW YORK, NY—High-grade atrioventricular (AV) block occurs within 1 month for roughly one in seven patients who undergo transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), according to new results from ...

Each valve has a set of flaps ... A cluster of cells in the center of the heart between the atria and ventricles, the AV node (atrioventricular node) is like a gate that slows the electrical ...

Left atrioventricular valve aneurysm is a rare condition. Here we present a rare case of partial atrioventricular septal defect with an extremely thin left atrioventricular valve aneurysm mimicking ...

The atrioventricular valves promote the transit of blood into the ventricles during diastole and prevent regurgitation during systole. Functioning under lower pressures, the right heart ejects the ...

Aortic valve regurgitation happens when your aortic valve doesn’t fully close, causing some blood to remain in your left ventricle. It can cause symptoms like chest pain and fatigue, among others.

In this redirected circulation, the tricuspid valve (TV) acts as the atrioventricular valve, which connects the right atrium and ventricle. Because the right side of the heart is responsible for ...
