Degenerative Mitral Stenosis: From Pathophysiology to Challenging Interventional Treatment
Mitral stenosis (MS) is characterized by obstruction of left ventricular inflow as a result of narrowing of the mitral valve orifice. Although its prevalence has declined over the last decade, especially in developed countries, it remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The most often cause of MS worldwide is still postrheumatic mitral valve disease. However, in developed countries, degenerative or calcific changes cause MS in a siginificant proportion of patients. Although the range of treatment for mitral valve disease has grown over the years in parallel with transcatheter therapies for aortic valve dis...

Degenerative mitral stenosis: From pathophysiology to challenging interventional treatment
Mitral stenosis is characterized by obstruction of left ventricular (LV) inflow as a result of narrowing of the mitral valve orifice. Although its prevalence has declined over the last decade, especially in developed countries, it remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The most often cause of mitral stenosis worldwide is still post-rheumatic mitral valve disease. However, in developed countries, degenerative/calcific changes cause mitral stenosis in a siginificant proportion of patients. (Source: Current Problems in Cardiology)

Tetralogy of Fallot: Case-Based Update for the Treatment of Adult Congenital Patients
Due to advancements in surgical technique and perioperative management, the number of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who are surviving until adulthood is growing.1 Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic CHD, with an estimated overall prevalence of 3,000 per one million births 2 and is considered to be one of the first congenital defects to be successfully repaired by cardiovascular surgeons.3 As the outcomes of babies born with CHD, and specifically TOF, continue to improve, many countries have more adults living with TOF than children.

Foreword
Pulmonary hypertension is a life-threatening illness that affects around 1% of global population, and it is associated with physical and emotional consequences. Understanding of pathophysiology has led to improvements in the management of these patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension. (Source: Current Problems in Cardiology)

Foreword
The prevention of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (ie, heart attacks and stroke), are paramount in today ’s healthcare. It is known that physical activity plays a major role in the management and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The approach, from public health messaging to the individual patient, as to how physical activity and exercise is prescribed should be improved in order to achieve the final goal of increasing the chances that an individual patient moves more. The purpose of this perspective paper is to propose an alternate model for promoting, assessing, discussing, and prescribing physic...
