Feeling breathless and fatigued? Your heart valve might need a little fix! ❤️🩹 The mitral valve controls blood flow within your heart 🫀, but when it narrows (stenosis), things can slow down, causing shortness of breath and fatigue. Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV) can be a minimally invasive solution! A catheter inserted through your groin reaches the valve, and a balloon inflates it open, improving blood flow ➡️ and relieving symptoms. BMV is often preferred over open-heart surgery for suitable patients because it's less invasive. 🩹 #mitralvalve #BMV #hearthealth #cardiovascular #minimallyinvasive #procedure

🔎 How do patients benefit from a weight-bearing examination in terms of diagnosis, surgery planning, and follow-up? 👨⚕️ According to Prof. Luigi Manfrè, Chairperson for Spine at the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR), Italy, weight-bearing imaging plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care. 🩻 This advanced technique provides a more accurate diagnosis by replicating real-life conditions where the spine is under natural load. It allows for improved surgical planning by offering a more precise view of the patient's condition, leading to tailored and more effective treatments. Additionally, it supports more comprehensive follow-up evaluations thanks to Q-Spine, ensuring better post-operative outcomes and patient satisfaction. 📽️ Watch the full video to stay updated on the latest innovations in weight-bearing imaging. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsHb9tei #weightbearing #magneticresonance #healthwithcare

When considering treatment for knee cartilage damage, it's worth exploring regenerative solutions as a less invasive alternative to knee surgery with a metal implant, particularly if the patient's condition allows. Regenerative therapy can offer a faster recovery, less post-procedure discomfort, and maintains the knee's natural structure. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional to evaluate the specific risks and benefits based on the patient's individual health and needs. Remember, the best treatment varies per individual, and a thorough medical evaluation is key to making an informed decision. #JointCare #MegaCarti #TissueRegeration
