Mitral valve and mitral valve disease [PDF]

open access: yesBJA Education, 2017
### Key points The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle (LV) and, as such, is an integral part of the high-pressure systemic circulation. Therefore, any pathology of the valve can have critical physiological effects that the anaesthetist must be aware of. Anaesthesia alters the way in which the heart, valve, and circulation

Parachute mitral valve

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2021
An asymptomatic 30-year-old male was referred for a transthoracic echocardiogram because of a systolic murmur that was noted on a pre-employment physical exam. Transthoracic imaging demonstrated a single papillary muscle from which the chordae of both mitral valve leaflets were attached.

Mitral valve repair [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease in the Western world. The MR can be either organic (mainly degenerative in Western countries) or functional (secondary to left ventricular remodeling in the context of ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy).

Presence Of A Congenitally Bicuspid Aortic Valve Among Patients Having Combined Mitral And Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Although bicuspid aortic valve occurs in an estimated 1% of adults and mitral valve prolapse in an estimated 5% of adults, occurrence of the 2 in the same patient is infrequent.

Anatomy of the mitral valve: understanding the mitral valve complex in mitral regurgitation [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Echocardiography, 2010
Imaging the mitral valve requires an understanding of the normal anatomy and how this complex structure is altered by disease states. Mitral regurgitation is increasingly prevalent. Despite the fall in rheumatic disease, it is the second most common valvular lesion seen in adults in Europe.

Modeling the mitral valve

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2019
AbstractThis work is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to the papillary muscles inside the left ventricle.

Modelling mitral valvular dynamics–current trend and future directions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dysfunction of mitral valve causes morbidity and premature mortality and remains a leading medical problem worldwide. Computational modelling aims to understand the biomechanics of human mitral valve and could lead to the development of new treatment ...

Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral valve regurgitation [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019
In industrialized countries, the most common etiology of mitral regurgitation (MR) is degenerative mitral valve (MV) disease. The natural history of severe degenerative MR is poor. However, its appropriate and timely correction is associated with a life expectancy similar to that of the normal population.
