Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch: State of the Art and Implications for Long Term Results-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Mini Review Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) was reported for the first time by Rahimtoola [1] in 1978 and it occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) indexed for the body surface area (BSA) is less than that of a normal human valve. Several studies using the indexed EOA have shown the negative impact of PPM on clinical outcomes: in fact, it seems to be related with less improvement in symptoms, i.e. functional class, lesser regression of left ventricular mass and with an higher rate of early mortality in particular when left ventricular low ejection fraction is associated and adverse events during long-term follow-up [2-3]. Although some studies [4] suggest that an increased mortality can occur only in presence of a critical level of obstruction, i.e. PPM <0.4cm2/m2, numerous recent studies showed a negative outcome also in presence of a less degree of PPM. The impact of P...

Appropriate Measures of Sodium Intake Do Not Suggest “The Lower (Sodium Intake) the Better”-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Opinion The pooled analysis of Mente et al. [1] concludes: “Compared with moderate sodium intake, high sodium intake is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and death in hypertensive populations, while the association of low sodium intake with increased risk of cardiovascular events and death is observed in those with or without hypertension. These data suggest that lowering sodium intake is best targeted at populations with hypertension who consume high sodium diets”. The article “Measurement Matters” [2] challenges potentially biased sodium measurements in the pooled analysis of Mente [1] and cite “a study involving CKD patients that used the average of three nonconsecutive 24-hour urine collections (that) revealed a strong linear association between higher urinary sodium excretion and an increased risk of CVD” [3]. In this prospective cohort study of pa...
