Cardiac Computed Tomography of Native Cardiac Valves
Radiol Clin North Am. 2024 May;62(3):399-417. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2023.12.004. Epub 2024 Jan 29.ABSTRACTValvular heart disease (VHD) is a significant clinical problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although not being the primary imaging modality in VHD, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) provides relevant information about its morphology, function, severity grading, and adverse cardiac remodeling assessment. Aortic valve calcification quantification is necessary for grading severity in cases of low-flow/low-gradient aortic stenosis. Moreover, CCT details significant information necessary for adequate percutane...

Mycobacterial Endocarditis, A Rare Form of Infective Endocarditis
Discov Med. 2024 Mar;36(182):437-447. doi: 10.24976/Discov.Med.202436182.41.ABSTRACTThis research project delves into the multifaceted dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) endocarditis, a significant yet uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis (TB). Beginning with an overview of M.tb and the global challenges posed by TB, we navigate through the bacterium's evolution, transmission modes, and the intricate host immune response. The pathology and pathophysiology of M.tb endocarditis are explored, emphasizing its complexities and the host's efforts to contain the pathogen. The study extends to atypical mycobacterial e...
