Three‐Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiographic Vena Contracta Area for Grading Mitral Regurgitation: Severity Cut‐offs From a Prospective Tunisian Cohort

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Three‐dimensional vena contracta area (VCA) measured by transoesophageal echocardiography enables precise accurate quantification of mitral regurgitation severity. In a Tunisian cohort, 3D VCA showed strong correlations with conventional 2D indices and excellent diagnostic performance for severe MR, supporting its use particularly in rheumatic mitral ...

Attenuated mitral leaflet enlargement contributes to functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction

, 2020
Background: Mitral leaflet enlargement has been identified as an adaptive mechanism to prevent mitral regurgitation in dilated left ventricles (LVs) caused by chronic aortic regurgitation (AR).

Papillary Muscle Free Strain in Patients with Severe Degenerative and Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
Fundamento: The role of papillary muscle function in severe mitral regurgitation with preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and the method of choice to evaluate PM have still been the subjects of controversy.

Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain and 30‐Day Mortality in Intermediate‐Risk Pulmonary Embolism: An External Validation Study

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Reduced right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) was associated with increased 30‐day mortality in an external cohort of patients with intermediate‐risk pulmonary embolism. RVGLS demonstrated discriminative ability (AUC 0.802), and the previously established 17.7% cutoff was associated with differences in 30‐day survival, supporting its ...

Left Atrial Reservoir Strain and Heart Failure Rehospitalization Burden in Acute Heart Failure With Atrial Fibrillation

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes 716 patients with acute heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The left atrial diameter analysis included 691 patients (189 rehospitalization‐first, 118 death‐first, 384 censored); volume index and reservoir strain were available in a 320‐patient single‐center subgroup.

Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix‐Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 1332-1334, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Retrospective Analysis of Survival and Adverse Effects Associated With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in 12 Dogs With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 485-498, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis evaluated 12 dogs with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Dogs received between 6 and 25 Grey (Gy) per fraction for 1–5 fractions for a total dose of 13–30 Gy. Eleven patients (92%) experienced acute adverse effects (AE), with the majority being VRTOG grade 2–3 ...

Surgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]

, 2012
In this thesis the surgical options for treatment of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) are described. In functional MR, the mitral valve has a normal anatomy, which distinguishes this type of insufficiency from organic MR.

Ischaemic mitral regurgitation

, 1999
There are still controversies regarding the mechanisms and optimal treatment of ischaemic mitral regurgitation. Coronary heart disease is the third most important cause of mitral regurgitation (10%), after myxomatous degeneration (45%), and rheumatic ...
