Each year, over 250,000 heart valve repair and heart valve replacement operations are performed for conditions including stenosis, prolapse, insufficiency, aneurysm, Tetralogy of Fallot and regurgitation. As a result, patients experience several different types of cardiac bypass surgery including aortic valve replacement, mitral valve repair and the Ross Procedure. HOWEVER... DID YOU KNOW?In a 2007 survey, the majority of former heart valve surgery patients interviewed stated that their expectations were "mismanaged - both before and after surgery." AND... DID YOU KNOW? In that same stud

Few cardiac disorders have generated as much controversy and discussion over the last two centuries as the floppy mitral valve (FV)/ mitral valve prolapse (MVP)/ mitral valvular regurgitation (MVR) triad, and the mitral valve prolapse syndrome. During the past 50 years, recognition of its broad pathologic and clinical spectrum has led to the appreciation of the FV as the central issue in the FV/MVP/MVR story. Accordingly, the clinical phenomena and imaging characteristics inherent in the FV/MVP/MVR triad will be best understood when reconciled with the gross morphologic, histopathologic, and

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner. -Covers new environmentally-conscious equipment and practices, the most important hot-button issue in the petrochemic

This book provides information on the aortic valve. Written in a comprehensive style, it emphasizes the principles behind the development of artificial valves. It covers the principles of valve geometry, tissue structure and function relationships, valve dynamics, fluid dynamics, mechanical stresses, echocardiographic images, mechanisms of valve sounds, valvular pathology, and design and performance of bioprosthetic valves. It enhances our understanding of angiographic and echocardiographic images and calcific stenosis, and will be of value in the development of better prostheses. The Aortic V
