Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 2022 The heart’s mitral valve is the valve that separates the chambers of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. Heart valve disease is a fairly common heart disease, and one type of heart valve disease is mitral regurgitation, which is an ...

Mitral Valve Surgery in Advanced Heart Failure
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010 The appropriateness and timing of mitral valve surgery in patients with advanced heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation remains controversial. Recent surgical results provide evidence for beneficial effects on left ventricular remodeling and functional capacity.

Beating-heart mitral valve chordal replacement [PDF]
2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011 Replacing open-heart surgical procedures with beating-heart interventions substantially decreases the trauma and risk of a procedure. One of the most challenging procedures to perform on the beating heart is valve repair. To address this need, this paper proposes a tool for replacing mitral valve chordae to correct regurgitation. The chordae is secured

Diagnosis of mitral insufficiency using impedance cardiography technique ICG
Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance, 2016 Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a non-invasive tool for assessing the hemodynamic parameters. It has been used for diagnosing several cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, cardio-myopathy, and valvular diseases. Particularly, the valvular heart

Mitral Valve Reconstruction in the Patient with Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart Failure Reviews, 2001 Secondary MR is a complication of end-stage cardiomyopathy and is associated with a poor prognosis and is due to progressive mitral annular dilation and alteration in LV geometry. A vicious cycle of continuing volume overload, ventricular dilation, progression of annular dilation, increased LV wall tension and worsening MR and CHF occur.
