Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in Truly High-Risk Patients: Are We Pushing the Boundaries?
In this series of truly high-risk patients, minimally invasive mitral surgery was associated with acceptable early mortality and morbidity as well as long-term outcomes; both logistic and EuroSCORE II showed suboptimal discrimination power.
As a causal relationship cannot be assumed in the present cross-sectional study, future research is required to examine how t'ai chi can improve cognitive function using a randomized control trial as well as determining whether t'ai chi practice can lead to better health status among elderly people.
