Anatomical context of American Heart Association

• OBJECTIVES: Freedom from anticoagulation is the principal advantage of bioprosthesis; however, the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology and the American College of Chest Physicians guidelines recommend early anticoagulation with heparin, followed by warfarin for 3 months after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement [23].
• This study sought to establish the practice patterns of a diverse group of academic physicians, in the management of periprocedural anticoagulation for patients with mechanical heart valves, to study adherence to American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines [24].
• In 1977, the American Heart Association recommended that patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral insufficiency receive antibiotic prophylaxis prior to procedures that place them at risk for bacterial endocarditis [25].
