Mitral valve and left ventricular features in malignant mitral valve prolapse. [PDF]
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 ...

Short-term outcomes of repair vs. replacement for rheumatic mitral valve disease [PDF]
BackgroundThe main types of surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease are traditional percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV), mitral valve replacement (MVR) with removal of the original valve, and valve repair with preservation of the original

Minithoracotomy vs Conventional Sternotomy for Mitral Valve Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Importance The safety and effectiveness of mitral valve repair via thoracoscopically-guided minithoracotomy (minithoracotomy) compared with median sternotomy (sternotomy) in patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitation is uncertain.

Complex mitral valve anatomy and open issues in transcatheter mitral valve replacement
Higher and prohibitive mitral valve disease surgical scenarios are preferred cases for transcatheter mitral valve replacement as they offer unrelenting mitral valve regurgitation reduction.

Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease and, when left untreated, results in reduced quality of life, heart failure, and increased mortality.

Mitral valve and mitral valve disease [PDF]
### 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

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.
