Lint: prosthetic-valve-thrombosis

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the first-line modality for the evaluation of valvular function and trans-prosthetic gradients including serial changes over time 1-3."

Line 80:119 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'trans-prosthetic'.

"increase in trans-prosthetic mean gradient (>10mmHg) with regression after oral anticoagulation"

Line 84:20 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'trans-prosthetic'.
Units
error

"increase in trans-prosthetic mean gradient (>10mmHg) with regression after oral anticoagulation"

Line 84:53 · Put a space between the number and the unit in '10mm'.

warning

"Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is an entity of uncertain clinical significance with no haemodynamic or thromboembolic consequences 2."

"Associations"

Line 65:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").

"Location"

Line 71:1 · "Location" should be H2, not H1.

"Echocardiography"

Line 79:1 · "Echocardiography" is not a recognised heading for this article type.
Inline EG
suggestion

"subtherapeutic anticoagulation (e.g. poor adherence)"

Line 10:39 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Clinical symptoms might depend on the extent and the presence of complications and include signs of heart failure, syncope, shock or signs of thromboembolism such as stroke or might be absent in the setting of subclinical valve thrombosis 3,6-8."

Line 24:119 · Use the Oxford comma in 'syncope, shock or signs'.
