SMARTWOMAN™: Feasibility assessment of a smartphone app to control cardiovascular risk factors in vulnerable diabetic women.

abstract：:Mitral anulus calcification (MAC) and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) are frequently diagnosed conditions. We studied two patients with mild or moderate mitral regurgitation who demonstrated both MAC and MVP on angiography and echocardiography. M-mode echocardiography is probably the definitive test for confirming the pre...
