متن کاملOccurrence of left-sided heart valve involvement before right-sided heart valve involvement in carcinoid heart disease.
Carcinoids are rare neuroendocrine tumours that occur primarily in the gastrointestinal tract. Carcinoid heart disease is characterized by fibrous plaque deposition on the endocardial surface of the cardiac valves and chambers. It affects the right heart valves in 85% of cases and the left heart valves in 15%. We present an unusual case of a patient with metastatic carcinoid heart disease in wh...

متن کاملMitral valve replacement for rheumatic heart disease in Southern Africa

متن کاملDNA methylation dysregulations in rheumatic heart valve disease
BACKGROUND The epigenetic changes underlying the development of rheumatic heart valve disease (RHVD) remain incompletely understood. Limited evidence suggests that abnormal DNA methylation might be involved in the pathogenesis of RHVD. In the present study, we evaluated the DNA methylation dysregulations from myocardial tissue in RHVD patients systematically. METHODS Right atrial myocardial t...
