Transcatheter “Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation Technique for Pure Aortic Regurgitation: Operation Skills and Single Center Experience

“Sandwich” Valve-in-Valve Implantation TechniqueAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  No commercial “on-label” transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device for aortic regurgitation (AR) is available in most countries. TAVR for AR with an “off-label” self-expanding device has shown acceptable procedural success but it elevated rates of early mortality and other complications. (more…)

Immediate Effects of Calf Muscle Release via Foam Rolling and Active Stretching on Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and the Rate Pressure Product in People with High-Normal Blood Pressure – A Comparative Study

High normal blood pressure

High normal blood pressure

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. High-normal blood pressure (i.e., 130–139/85–89 mmHg) has hazardous ratio for both coronary heart disease and stroke, because of day to day variations in blood pressure; consequently, prevention through lifestyle modification is essential.Although numerous studies have examined stretching and myofascial release to lower blood pressure, (more…)

Identification of Arrhythmia-Associated Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients with Primary Electrical Disorders or Sudden Cardiac Death

Identification-of-Arrhythmia-Associated-Gene-MutationAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Sudden cardiac death (SCD), unexpected death based on sudden cardiac ejection cessation, accounts for 15–20% of unnatural deaths in developed countries. Primary electrical disorders (PEDs), a group of cardiac rhythm abnormalities without detectable structural heart disease, are a major cause of SCD in people younger than 35 years of age. (more…)

Reproducibility of a New Method to Assess Endothelial Function According to Peripheral Arterial Volume

Endothelial FunctionAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The assessment of endothelial function is crucial for understanding cardiovascular disease progression. Reliable, convenient non-invasive methods are necessary for evaluating endothelial function. Peripheral arterial volume (PAV), measured at the fingertip, is a novel approach for which limited reproducibility data are available. (more…)

Four-Dimensional XStrain Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Strain and Rotational Mechanics

4D XStrain Speckle Tracking EchocardiographyAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Because of its excellent ability to non-invasively assess left ventricular (LV) systolic function, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is increasingly being used in echocardiographic laboratories worldwide. Two-dimensional STE is the most sought-after method to evaluate LV strain, rotation, twist and torsion. (more…)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients ≥80 and <80 Years of Age with Aortic Valve Stenosis at Moderate Surgical Risk: Findings from an Observational Study in the Vietnamese Population

Transcatheter Aortic Valve ReplacementAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. The increasing number of elderly patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has prompted concerns regarding their clinical outcomes compared with the younger population. This study evaluated the outcomes of TAVR on the basis (more…)
