Abstract

This report describes the clinical and transesophageal echocardiographic findings in 2 patients with mitral and 2 with tricuspid valve aneurysms and reviews the 19 published echo-diagnosed cases. One of our patients with a mitral valve aneurysm and 12 of those in the published reports had associated aortic valve endocarditis.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
