Impact of mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) on left and right heart function. IQR, interquartile range; LA, left atrial; RVEF, right ventricular ejection fraction; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. Abstract Aims Long‐standing severe mitral regurgitation (MR) leads to left atrial

Effects of afterload reduction on vena contracta width in mitral regurgitation
Objectives. We used color Doppler flow mapping to determine whether vena contracta width (VCW) is a load-independent measure of the severity of mitral regurgitation.Background.

Valve function is commonly assessed by effective orifice area (EOA) estimates using equations derived from conservation of mass and energy. Errors have been found with the method due to difficulties in determining the valve’s coefficient of discharge (Cd)

BackgroundPatients who suffer from severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) do not undergo standard care therapy because of the high surgical risk. As a result, safer and less invasive techniques are being sought after internationally.

BackgroundSevere tricuspid regurgitation is associated with poor prognosis; however, there are limited Class I indications for intervention, and high–surgical risk patients may go untreated. We report the first-in-human successful transcatheter tricuspid

BACKGROUND: The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines suggest the use of several echocardiographic methods to assess mitral regurgitation severity using an integrated approach, without guidance as to the weighting of each parameter.

Background: The most common causes of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in developing countries are rheumatic heart disease. The plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is known to increase with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Aim of the Work:

Echocardiographically based treatment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation
ObjectivesWe evaluated results of an echocardiographically based strategy combining mitral annuloplasty with other procedures to treat chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation.MethodsFrom March 2006 to February 2009, 147 patients underwent mitral valve ...
