Two heart surgeons looked at the same heart and gave me opposite advice. One said plan surgery. The other said wait.At 42, in the best shape of my life, I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse with severe regurgitation. And suddenly I had to answer a question I never expected to face:
I never thought heart disease would be part of my story. At 42, in the best shape of my life, I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and severe regurgitation. What started as a strange episode during a workout turned into months of fear, waiting, uncertainty, and eventually heart surgery. This is Part 1 of My Heart Story. In this episode of Anatomy of a Leader, I share what it was really like to be diagnosed with a heart condition at 42 — from early symptoms and medical tests to the emotional impact of living with uncertainty while raising young children and running a business. This is the beginning of a deeper series about fear, vulnerability, healing, and what happens when your body forces you to slow down and listen.This is not medical advice. This is my real story — shared in the hope that it helps someone feel less alone, recognise symptoms earlier, or feel brave enough to get checked.In this episode I talk about: – Mitral valve prolapse diagnosis – Heart palpitations and symptoms – ECG and echocardiogram experience – Waiting for cardiology appointments – Anxiety and fear after diagnosis – Exercising with a heart condition – Women's heart health being underdiagnosed – Why “being strong” can make illness lonelier00:00 Thought Heart Disease Was an Old Man's Problem00:51 I Was Physically Fit & Healthy01:20 The Workout That Changed Everything01:56 Why I Nearly Ignored The Symptoms03:14 Going To The GP03:45 ECG Referral & Experience06:11 Echo Referral & Experience 09:03 Hearing “Mitral Valve Prolapse”09:50 Waiting, Fear & Not Knowing13:00 Anxiety vs Heart Condition13:23 Tachycardia, A&E & Health System14:21 Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse 16:12 Exercise Regularly & Monitor17:49 Exercising With A Heart Condition18:39 Loss Of Control & Trust20:38 Women's Heart Health Being Missed23:10 What I Wish I'd Known25:15 If You're Ignoring Symptoms — Please ListenFollow Maria Hvorostovsky:IG: https://www.instagram.com/anatomyofaleader/IG: https://www.instagram.com/mariahvorostovsky/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariahvo/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mariahvorostovsky/Website: https://www.anatomyofaleader.com/Artwork and video by https://www.londonbeautyphotographer.com/If you're living with a heart condition, supporting someone who is, or ignoring symptoms because life feels too busy — this episode is for you.

Join Digital Education Committee Chair and podcast host Michael S. Lloyd, MD, FHRS, and his guests Kelvin C. Chua, MBBS, MD, FHRS, CEPS-A, and Rahul N Doshi, MD, FHRS, for this week's Lead episode, which was recorded live at APHRS 2025 in Kyoto, Japan. This discussion will review recent evidence on the feasibility and safety of pulsed field ablation (PFA) for coronary sinus and left atrial appendage isolation, as well as mitral isthmus ablation, focusing on both acute and chronic outcomes. Panelists will examine procedural considerations, lesion durability, and safety signals highlighted in the study, and explore how these findings may inform evolving ablation strategies for complex atrial arrhythmias. Learning Objectives Summarize the acute and chronic feasibility and safety outcomes of pulsed field ablation (PFA) for coronary sinus isolation, left atrial appendage isolation, and mitral isthmus ablation as reported in the study. Evaluate procedural techniques and lesion durability considerations associated with using PFA in anatomically complex atrial structures. Assess the potential clinical implications of these findings for incorporating PFA into ablation strategies for complex atrial arrhythmias, including patient selection and risk mitigation.

Case Discussion 124: Anticoagulation in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
Send us a textNeste episódio, entramos fundo no universo do ecocardiograma aplicado às doenças da valva mitral, um tema que mexe diretamente com decisões no consultório, na enfermaria e na UTI. Conversamos sobre como diferenciar regurgitação mitral primária de secundária pelo laudo, quais pistas estruturais realmente importam e como o clínico pode interpretar o mecanismo da lesão de forma prática. E claro, discutimos uma dúvida clássica do dia a dia: dá para diferenciar vegetação de trombo só pelo eco? A imagem ajuda muito, mas nunca trabalha sozinha. Exploramos ainda: • Quando o ECO-TE realmente muda a condução; • O papel do ECO 3D na avaliação da mitral e no planejamento de intervenções; • Por que a avaliação quantitativa da IM precisa ir além de apenas olhar o jato; • Quais parâmetros objetivos definem a gravidade da IM;• A pegadinha da FEVE aparentemente boa na IM crônica;• Como o status hemodinâmico pode transformar completamente o grau da IM; • O melhor método para medir área valvar na estenose mitral; • Como calcular e interpretar o escore de Wilkins; • Quando pedir ECO-TE na estenose mitral; • Em quais situações considerar MitraClip; Um episódio completo, didático e direto ao ponto, ideal para clínicos, cardiologistas e residentes que querem interpretar o ecocardiograma da valva mitral com mais segurança, clareza e profundidade.
This week we review the topic of mitral annular disjunction ("MAD") and the possible association with ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death in the connective tissue disease patient. Is there a 'cut off' distance above which patients deserve more significant arrhythmia surveillance? What is the best way to measure the MAD distance? Can patients with low MAD distances have lower degrees or even no arrhythmic surveillance? How often should this distance be measured on CMR and can an echo measurement provide similar data? Dr. Daniel Castellanos, the first author of this work and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School shares his deep insights this week.DOI: 10.1016/j.jocmr.2025.101954

Insuficiência mitral pós-IAM: diferenciar ruptura de tethering é vital by Cardiopapers
No Click Valvar Academy de hoje temos grandes insights sobre o impacto da internação hospitalar no momento ideal de efetuar uma clipagem mitral.
A new era for complex mitral regurgitation. The ENCIRCLE pivotal trial in The Lancet reports that fully percutaneous, transfemoral, transseptal TMVR (SAPIEN M3) achieved durable MR reduction (≈96% ≤1+ at 1 year), low early mortality, and meaningful improvement in symptoms and quality of life for patients unsuitable for surgery or TEER. A third pathway for mitral disease is emerging—one built on precision access, valve-in-valve durability planning, and advancing patient selection. Innovation meeting clinical need.

We've got a three-peat favorite back on the mic—Dr. Karl Jandrey, DVM, DACVECC, emergency & critical care specialist at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. In this “Ask the Vet” deep dive, Dr. Jandrey breaks down how heart disease shows up in pets, what to watch for at home, and what your vet does first in the ER.You'll learn the stealth early signs in dogs (like true exercise intolerance vs. stubbornness), when coughing and increased breathing effort mean “go now,” and why small breeds often face mitral valve disease while large breeds are at risk for dilated cardiomyopathy (including the grain-free/taurine connection). We also cover arrhythmias (like AFib) and dramatic collapses, the core ER toolkit (oxygen, ultrasound, diuretics), and practical home monitoring (why ≤30 breaths/min at rest matters).For cats, Dr. Jandrey explains hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—why it's so hard to spot, the realities of sudden distress or clots (ATE), and what treatment and prognosis can look like.

A 17 yo male presents for follow up on a “fainting” episode that occurred during football practice at the end of a running exercise. He states, “I do not know what happened. We finished a set of running sprints and next thing I knew, I was on the ground.” He denies injury from the event and history of prior episodes. His physical examination reveals a crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur heart best at the apex, increasing in intensity with position change from supine to standing position. This most likely represents: A. Mitral regurgitation B. Physiologic murmur C. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathyD. Aortic stenosis Visit fhea.com to learn more!

A 27-year-old woman presents as a new patient to your practice. She is without chief complaint. She asks to, “get a refill on my birth control pills” , having used combined oral contraceptives for the past 12 years without adverse effects. Social history reveals she is a nonsmoker, without recreational drug use, drinks approximately 1-2 mixed drinks per week, and runs 2-3 miles 5 days a week with reported excellent activity tolerance. Her health history is generally unremarkable, but with patient report of a “mild heart murmur that was picked up when I was a teenager during a physical I needed so I could run track. I was told not to worry about it.” Physical exam is unremarkable with the exception of a mid-systolic click followed by a grade II mid to late systolic murmur without radiation. The remainder of the cardiac exam is within normal limits. These findings most likely represent which type of murmur? A. PhysiologicB. Aortic stenosis C. Mitral regurgitation D.

Hey Heart Buddies! Boots Knighton speaks with Lucinda McDermott about navigating heart health after discovering a severely leaking tricuspid valve. Lucinda shares her journey, from initial chest pain and fainting to being diagnosed with a heart murmur by her OB GYN. After mitral valve replacement in 2017, Lucinda faced additional challenges, including fragmented healthcare and dismissive cardiologists. Both Lucinda and Boots stress the importance of patient advocacy, support networks like WomenHeart, and having a “heart doula” during medical appointments. The episode highlights key issues like secure insurance, patient empowerment, and the significance of clear communication with healthcare providers.Want to contact Lucinda?

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we're going to talk about one of my favorite breeds, the super sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (what we'll Cavaliers from now on, since it's a mouthful!). Unfortunately, we all know that this breed has horrible myxomatous mitral valve disease. So, if you see Cavaliers in your clinic, when should you decide to put these dogs on heart medications? After all, we know that the initiation of pimobendan can significantly delay the onset of congestive heart failure in dogs with stage B2 myxomatous mitral valve disease (or “mitral valve disease”), and that detection of the transition from stage B1 to B2 in this population of dogs is important so that therapy can be initiated expediently.Sponsored By: Antech
