Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie in Mannheim begrüßen zu dürfen, zu der über 8000 Besucher erwartet werden. Für diese Tagung haben wir uns entschieden im Hauptprogramm die gesamte Breite der Kardiomyopathien in Theorie und Klinik zu diskutieren. Die Erkrankungen des Herzmuskels stellen in der kardiologischen Praxis eine ganz besondere Herausforderung in Differentialdiagnostik und in der optimalen Selektion von spezifischen Therapiemodalitäten dar und sind nicht nur unterdiagnostiziert sondern auch ungenügend behandelt. Glücklicherweise wurden auf dem Gebiet der Herzmuskelerkrankungen in den letzten Jahren enorme wissenschaftliche und klinische Fortschritte erzielt, so dass eine intensive Betrachtung dieser neuen Erkenntnisse, ihre klinische Bedeutung und die sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen für die tägliche Praxis dringend notwendig ist. Dies ist umso bedeutender als die Herzinsuffizienz- als gemeinsame Endstrecke der unterschiedlichen Herzmuskelerkrankungen- trotz aller Fortschritte in der Herzinsuffizienztherapie weiterhin an Prävalenz zunimmt. Die Schwerpunktbildung im Hauptprogramm auf die Herzmuskelerkrankungen und ihre klinische Bedeutung bedeutet aber nicht, dass andere aktuelle Themen der Herz-Kreislaufmedizin vernachlässigt werden. Hierfür bietet die Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie traditionell Wissenschaftlern, insbesondere auch jungen Nachwuchswissenschaftlern, eine wichtige Plattform, Forschungsergebnisse der Fachwelt zu präsentieren und zu diskutieren. Das umfassende Tagungsprogramm enthält 60 Postersitzungen und 79 Abstract-Vortragssitzungen mit einer Gesamtzahl von 1225 akzeptierten Beiträgen. Diese geben einen hervorragenden Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand der kardiovaskulären Wissenschaft, neue Ansätze in der Grundlagenforschung, der Diagnostik und der Therapie von Herzerkrankungen. Darüber hinaus bietet die Frühjahrstagung den optimalen Rahmen für den fachlichen Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Grundlagenforschern, Klinikärzten und niedergelassenen Kollegen. Die zunehmende inhaltliche Vertiefung kardiologischer Schwerpunktthemen spiegelt sich eindrucksvoll in der großen Zahl von 34 Arbeitsgruppensitzungen wider und unterstreicht die Bedeutung einer gemeinsamen Tagung. Besonders freue ich mich über die Teilnahme von Vertretern kardiologischer Fachgesellschaften verschiedener Nationen und der diesjährigen Partnergesellschaft, der Italian Society of Cardiology. Auch die Repräsentanten der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Kardiologie, der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Thorax-, Herz- und Gefäßchirurgie, sowie die Vertreter der Fachgesellschaften aus der Grundlagenforschung und aus den benachbarten medizinischen Schwerpunkten darf ich herzlich begrüßen. Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, ich heiße Sie nochmals herzlich willkommen und wünsche Ihnen einen spannenden, informativen und diskussionsreichen Kongress und viele neue Erkenntnisse für die gemeinsame Versorgung unserer Patienten. Hochachtungsvoll Prof. Dr. med. Hugo A. Katus Tagungspräsident 6 Foreword Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, it is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to this 79th Annual Meeting of the German Cardiac Society in Mannheim, expected to host more than 8,000 attendees. During the 2013 meeting we will discuss in depth the entire spectrum of cardiomyopathies from theory to clinical care as a main topic (“Program of the Congress President”). Disorders of the heart muscle are challenging both in their diagnostic work up and in the selection of appropriate therapies. As a consequence cardiomyopathies are under-diagnosed and under-treated. During the recent years, however, substantial progress was achieved in the dissection of causes, elucidation of disease mechanisms and optimization of clinical care of cardiomyopathies. This substantial progress in basic sciences and medical knowledge related to cardiomyopathies mandates an intense discussion of its clinical significance to better treat our patients. And in depth up-date of heart muscle disorders is even more important since the incidence of heart failure, which is the common end point of cardiomyopathies of different origin, has increased markedly and is by now the most prevalent diagnosis in hospital admissions of elderly patients. Besides the main program the Annual Meeting of the German Cardiac Society traditionally provides scientists, in particular young scientists, an important platform to present and discuss research work with the scientific community. The comprehensive conference program includes 60 poster sessions and 79 oral abstract sessions with a total of 1225 accepted scientific contributions. An excellent overview of the current state of the art of cardiovascular science and new approaches in basic research, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases will be provided. In addition, the Spring Conference provides the ideal framework for exchange of experience between basic researchers, clinicians and practicing colleagues. The increasing specialization in cardiology is impressively reflected by the large number of 34 different working group sessions and emphasizes the importance of a joint meeting. The main topic “Cardiomyopathies” will be discussed in 10 main sessions. The current status and new aspects of coronary, non-coronary catheter interventions, interventional electrophysiology and heart valve therapy will be presented within working groups and hotline sessions. In addition, the program includes pathophysiological and pharmacological issues that are also critical for success of periprocedural patient management. I am delighted at the participation of representatives of different nations and societies of cardiology and this year’s partner society, the Italian Society of Cardiology. Moreover, I warmly welcome the representatives of the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology and the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. Ladies and gentlemen,

  • Surgical Management of Transcatheter Heart Valves
    Corporate Medical Policy Surgical Management of Transcatheter Heart Valves File Name: surgica l_management_of_transcatheter_heart_valves Origination: 1/2011 Last CAP Review: 6/2021 Next CAP Review: 6/2022 Last Review: 6/2021 Description of Procedure or Service As the proportion of older adults increases in the U.S. population, the incidence of degenerative heart valve disease also increases. Aortic stenosis and mitra l regurgita tion are the most common valvular disorders in adults aged 70 years and older. For patients with severe valve disease, heart valve repair or replacement involving open heart surgery can improve functional status and qua lity of life. A variety of conventional mechanical and bioprosthetic heart valves are readily available. However, some individuals, due to advanced age or co-morbidities, are considered too high risk for open heart surgery. Alternatives to the open heart approach to heart valve replacement are currently being explored. Transcatheter heart valve replacement and repair are relatively new interventional procedures involving the insertion of an artificial heart valve or repair device using a catheter, rather than through open heart surgery, or surgical valve replacement (SAVR). The point of entry is typically either the femoral vein (antegrade) or femora l artery (retrograde), or directly through the myocardium via the apical region of the heart. For pulmonic and aortic valve replacement surgery, an expandable prosthetic heart valve is crimped onto a catheter and then delivered and deployed at the site of the diseased native valve. For valve repair, a small device is delivered by catheter to the mitral valve where the faulty leaflets are clipped together to reduce regurgitation.

In this article, we review the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this disease, and we also present some of the latest technological advancements in this field. Keywords: dogs; heart; echocardiography; mitral repair 1. Introduction Among canine cardiac diseases, myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents, by far, the most common. In general, the disease is more prevalent in small breeds than in large breeds, and some small breeds are reported to have an incidence close to 100% over a dog’s lifetime [1,2]. However, large breed dogs can be affected as well [3,4]. A heritable, genetically-determined component for the disease can be implied by the strong predilection for small breeds in general, and particularly for certain breeds (i.e., Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshund), in which the heritability of disease status and severity has been demonstrated [5–7]. However, the etiology of the myxomatous process is still unknown and under investigation. Some experimental evidence seems to support a possible role of the serotonin signaling pathway triggered by altered mechanical stimuli in the disease development [8–12].
