Abstract

In the centenary year of the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS), this review article outlines the influence of UK cardiologists and surgeons on the field of heart valve disease, many of whom can rightly claim ‘world firsts’ in the field. From the description of endocarditis as we know it today at the turn of the 20th century, to the first mitral valvotomy, heart valve replacement and invention of the Ross procedure. These advances have transformed the outlook of patients with symptomatic valve disease from palliation and certain death to curative treatment and near normal life expectancy. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was adopted early in the UK, and thanks to the comprehensive national database, the UK TAVI registry is one of the world’s largest, contributing real-world patient data to inform clinical practice. The more recent concepts of ‘Heart Valve Centres of Excellence’ and specialist valve clinics have been developed by the BCS-affiliated British Heart Valve Society which continues to drive improved standards for patients with heart valve disease. The next 100 years will no doubt be equally thrilling in terms of innovation for heart valve disease, with artificial intelligence, transcatheter therapies and cutting-edge technology continuing to improve patient care and clinical outcomes.
心脏瓣膜疾病:一个发现之旅
在英国心血管学会(BCS)成立一百周年之际,这篇综述文章概述了英国心脏病专家和外科医生在心脏瓣膜疾病领域的影响,其中许多人可以正确地声称在该领域是“世界第一”。从20世纪初我们所知道的心内膜炎,到第一次二尖瓣切开术,心脏瓣膜置换术和罗斯手术的发明。这些进步已经改变了有症状的瓣膜疾病患者的前景,从姑息和肯定死亡到治愈治疗和接近正常的预期寿命。经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)很早就在英国被采用,由于有全面的国家数据库,英国TAVI登记是世界上最大的登记之一,为临床实践提供了真实的患者数据。“心脏瓣膜卓越中心”和专家瓣膜诊所的最新概念是由bcs附属的英国心脏瓣膜协会开发的,该协会继续推动心脏瓣膜疾病患者的标准提高。毫无疑问,在心脏瓣膜疾病的创新方面,未来100年将同样激动人心,人工智能、经导管治疗和尖端技术将继续改善患者护理和临床结果。
