Assessing emerging causes of mitral regurgitation: atrial functional mitral regurgitation

Journal of International Medical Research
Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation is linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. From a mechanical perspective, secondary mitral regurgitation occurs due to an imbalance between the forces that tether the mitral leaflets and ...

The Echocardiographic Assessment of Functional Mitral Regurgitation. [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2010
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common, clinically important, and mechanistically complex. Its assessment by echocardiography can be challenging, and particular care is needed in the quantification of severity. Echocardiographers need to be aware of the potential limitations of flow convergence and vena contracta methods in assessing severity ...

A case of progressive dyspnea: Atrial septal device-related functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2021
Transcatheter device closure is a common treatment option of atrial septal defect. Mitral regurgitation has been reported with comorbid mitral valve prolapse and atrial septal defect.

Functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019
Dr. O.P. Yadava, Editor-in-Chief, IJTC, and Dr. J.L. Pomar, Former President, EACTS, discuss issues related to secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Though it is considered a ventricular disease, mitral valve leaflets are not entirely normal. Alignment of subvalvular apparatus plays a more dominant role than annular dilatation. Early repair is preferred.

Midterm results of mitral valve repair for atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a retrospective study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Annular dilation by left atrial remodeling is considered the main cause of atrial function mitral regurgitation. Although acceptable outcomes have been obtained using mitral ring annuloplasty alone for atrial functional mitral regurgitation ...

Recurrent mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2004
We sought to characterize the temporal return of mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation; to identify its predictors, particularly with respect to annuloplasty type; and to determine whether annuloplasty type influences survival.From April 1985 through November 2002, 585 patients underwent annuloplasty alone

Alfieri stitch for temporary severe functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement

Surgical Case Reports, 2018
The outcome in functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement is unclear. A frail 82-year-old woman with severe aortic valve regurgitation and mild to moderate functional mitral valve regurgitation (NYHA functional class III) was referred

Early- and Long-Term Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair in a Low-Volume Centre in the Caribbean

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
Introduction: This study examines early- and long-term outcomes of mitral valve repairs in a low-volume cardiac surgery centre in the Caribbean. Methods: Ninety-six consecutive patients underwent mitral valve repair from April 2009 to December 2018 ...
