Modeling the Mitral Valve [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2019 This 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.

Effect of concurrent mitral valve surgery for secondary mitral regurgitation upon mortality after aortic valve replacement or coronary artery bypass surgery [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 ObjectivesIt is uncertain whether concurrent mitral valve repair or replacement for moderate or greater secondary mitral regurgitation at the time of coronary artery bypass graft or aortic valve replacement surgery improves long-term survival ...

Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral valve regurgitation [PDF]
Indian 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.

Mitral valve and left ventricular features in malignant mitral valve prolapse. [PDF]
Open Heart, 2018 Objective: Mitral valve prolapse is a benign condition, however with occasional reports of sudden cardiac death or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the absence of severe mitral regurgitation or coronary artery disease, suggesting the existence of a ...

Mitral valve and mitral valve disease [PDF]
BJA 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

Mitral valve replacement at Tygerberg Hospital: a 5 year follow-up [PDF]
SA Heart Journal, 2017 This study provides 5-year follow-up data of isolated mitral valve replacements with mechanical prosthesis at a large South African tertiary hospital. It also assessed the significance of pre-operative parameters to predict mortality.
