Comparison of Characteristics and Short-Term Outcome From Fungal Infective Endocarditis in Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Versus Native Valve Endocarditis
In conclusion, fungal IE is associated with high mortality and recurrence rates. Surgery performed in selected cases may improve the outcomes, but the recurrence rate remains high.

UTSA student wins American Heart Association fellowship for nanosystems engineering research
(University of Texas at San Antonio) University of Texas at San Antonio biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate Anand Srinivasan has been awarded a $25,000, one-year doctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association. This highly competitive fellowship provides significant funding to doctoral students to support research and training in cardiovascular and stroke discoveries. Srinivasan will develop a new chip-based platform that can be used to test the effectiveness of drug treatments for infective endocarditis, a dangerous bacterial-fungal infection of the heart's inner lining.

Predictors of mortality in patients with prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: A nation-wide multicenter study.
CONCLUSIONS: High creatinine level, poor functional status and high CRP measured on admission were independent risk associates for in-hospital mortality, whereas a NYHA class ofIII/IV and high CRP reflected independent risk for stroke/mortality end point. PMID: 23788308 [PubMed - in process]

Clinical outcomes of aortic root replacement after previous aortic root replacement
Conclusions: Aortic root replacement after a previous aortic root replacement is associated with a relatively low operative mortality and perioperative morbidity, but long-term survival is suboptimal. Increasing age and prosthetic valve endocarditis adversely affect survival.

Heparin, grad students, a clinical revolution and giving credit where it's due
The story of a grad student who overcame remarkable odds only to be denied his moment of glory, or a tale of dark deceit and devilish doings? The story of heparin is as complicated as the chemistry itselfBlood is remarkable.A liquid that carries nutrients, waste products and the ever-vigilant cells of the immune system around the body, blood rapidly turns into a solid when it leaves its veins and arteries and becomes exposed to bodily tissues or the air outside. This process of solidification – clotting, or coagulation – is executed and controlled by a complex set of reactions and interactions primarily involving the e...

318 * minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the perceval s sutureless valve: early outcomes and mid-term survival from two european centres
Conclusions: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the Perceval S sutureless valve in high-risk patients is a safe and reproducible procedure associated with excellent haemodynamic results, postoperative outcomes and mid-term survival.

Determinants of Cerebral Lesions in Endocarditis on Systematic Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Prospective Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Systematic cerebral MRI frequently detects ischemic lesions and microbleeds during acute IE. The high sensitivity of MRI shows that each millimeter increase in vegetation length is associated with a 10% increase in the rate of ischemic lesions. Conversely, microbleeds are associated only with prosthetic IE in this study. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00144885.

"Cardiovascular diseases should be higher on the political agenda" said Tonio Borg, the EU commissioner for health.
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the EU, but it is not yet given enough importance on the political agenda, according to Tonio Borg, who has scheduled an EU summit on chronic diseases at the beginning of next year.He spoke at the launch of the Cardiovascular Health Week, an initiative by the MEP Heart Group.

Non-Bacterial Aortic Valve Vegetation
A 31 year-old man was referred to our hospital for management of a 2cm×2.3cm lesion seen on the left coronary cusp of his aortic valve on transoesophageal echocardiogram (, panel A and B). There was a mild gradient across the aortic valve (mean gradient of 17mmHg) and some mild eccentric aortic regugitation as a consequence of the lesion. Echocardiography had been performed after an ejection systolic murmur was noted by his local medical officer. He denied symptoms of infection or congestive cardiac failure. Routine initial investigations were unremarkable. Multiple sets of blood cultures were negative. Urgent antiphospho...

Infective endocarditis superimposed on a massively calcified severely stenotic congenitally bicuspid aortic valve.
We describe a 55-year-old man who presented with a stroke resulting from active infective endocarditis (IE) involving a heavily calcified bicuspid aortic valve. The case highlights the infrequency of IE involving a heavily calcified valve, the inability of the infection to penetrate the calcific deposits, and the ability of the infection to spread to the adjacent soft tissues, leading to ring abscess and its multiple complications.

Minimally invasive tricuspid valve surgery in patients at high risk
Conclusions: The heart-port–based minimally invasive approach seems to be safe, feasible, and reproducible in case of tricuspid valve operations. It ensures low perioperative morbidity, moderate to low rates of tricuspid regurgitation recurrence, and low late mortality. It also seems to have an added value in case of reoperative procedures.

A16: Long‐term follow‐up of 36 Pediatric Antiphospholipid Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study
Conclusion:Despite of prophylaxis with anticoagulants, new thrombotic events occurred in 25% of the patients and reaching the ideal prothrombin time to prevent thrombotic episodes was the major challenge, as nearly half of the patients had hemorrhagic events. Studies are necessary to identify ideal parameters for treating and monitoring children with antiphospholipid syndrome.
