Assessment of Paravalvular Leak After TAVI by Hemodynamic Measurements and Cardiac MRI
Echocardiography and angiography systematically underestimate paravalvular leakage (PVL) as compared to cardiac MRI. Hemodynamic measurements are used to aid decision making directly after TAVI implantation. Prospective data comparing hemodynamic measurements with cardiac MRI are needed to design an optimal strategy to grade paravalvular leakage peri-operatively in order to optimize TAVI …

Cancer Therapy Effects on the Heart
Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) is commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carries a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to …
