Heart

Although it is a part of normal life, when stress cannot be controlled, it can lead to emotional, psychological and even physical problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack, rhythm disturbance and chest pain. Stress, which was first defined by Hans Selye in the 1930s, is by definition a biological response to negative emotions and events.

Mitral stenosis (MS) is generally the sequel of rheumatic carditis occurring in childhood (1). MS is particularly observed in developing countries (1, 2). Untreated patients can develop irreversible right ventricular failure (1, 2). Since its introduction by Inoue, percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is considered the leading and effective treatment option for symptomatic moderate to severe MS with favorable valve morphology (3, 4). PMBV provides immediate and sustained hemodynamic improvement, comparable with the results of surgery (3). However, there are challenges in some cases of PMBV, where surgery is also not feasible. Various techniques have been described for directing the mitral balloon catheter to left ventricle during PMBV (5-9). Here we aim to define a new technique for challenging cases of PMBV in patients with a large left atrium and a severe MS called the venoarterial looping.

As a consequence, we believe that the relationship between on ANS function may be helpful in explaining the result of the article by Mazzoccoli et al. (3). We hope that the above-mentioned items would add to the value of the well-written article of Mazzoccoli et al. regarding the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue and impairment of CF.
