Article Abstract
Quantification of invasive hemodynamics and mitral annular calcification-related mitral stenosis remains underexplored in patients exposed to chest radiation. We sought to explore invasive hemodynamic parameters via transseptal catheterization in patients with and without chest radiation who had a diagnosis of mitral annular calcification-related mitral stenosis. After excluding patients with more than moderate mitral regurgitation, we found that there was no difference in mitral valve area on hemodynamic testing in patients with and without radiation with an elevated baseline transmitral gradient on transthoracic echocardiography in the setting of mitral annular calcification-related mitral stenosis. There was a higher transmitral gradient and left atrial pressure in patients with prior radiation consistent with left atrial noncompliance, suggesting that treatment mitral valve stenosis may not relieve symptoms in this cohort of patients.

Totally endoscopic mitral valve replacement for mitral regurgitation post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a case report.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) may rarely worsen after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to mechanical interference from the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Standard surgical approaches in these cases are often challenging due to anatomical constraints. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to address this issue.

Introduction: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a pathologic fibrous separation of the mitral valve hinge point from the ventricular myocardium. The aims of this study were to describe the range of MAD distance by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in children and young adults with connective tissue disorders (CTDs) versus a healthy control sample, and to assess the MAD distance as a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study of healthy subjects and patients with Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or nonspecific CTD who underwent CMR between 01/01/2000 and 01/01/2020.

Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition, typically benign, but in a small subset of patients, it may lead to life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). This arrhythmogenic MVP phenotype is often associated with bileaflet prolapse, mitral annular disjunction (MAD), and myocardial fibrosis identified via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI.
Case Summary: Our patient is a 49-year-old man presented with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and near-syncope.

Background And Objective: To develop an end-to-end artificial intelligence solution-video-based Multi-Point Tracking Network (MPTN), for detecting and tracking atrioventricular junction (AVJ) points from cardiovascular magnetic resonance and deriving AVJ motion parameters.
Methods: The MPTN model consists of two modules: AVJ point detection and AVJ motion tracking. The detection module utilizes convolutional-based feature extraction and elastic regression to detect all candidate AVJ points.
