Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common finding in everyday clinical practice. However, despite simple diagnostics, clinicians remain interested in it due to its undetermined prevalence, various etiology, clinical features and echocardiographic findings.

Impact of mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) on left and right heart function. IQR, interquartile range; LA, left atrial; RVEF, right ventricular ejection fraction; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. Abstract Aims Long‐standing severe mitral regurgitation (MR) leads to left atrial

In the PRIME‐MR study, patients with higher N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) tertiles more frequently reached death or heart failure hospitalization (HFH) within 3 years. Log‐transformed NT‐proBNP levels independently predicted the primary endpoint (adjusted hazard ratio 1.17, 95% confidence interval 1.07–1.28; p < 0.001).

Background Repair of anterior leaflet prolapse is technically more challenging and this might influence outcomes as compared to the repair of posterior leaflet prolapse in patients undergoing surgical correction of mitral regurgitation.

Two myths have been prevalent regarding heart valve disease: that the valves are simply mechanical flaps, and that the importance to the patient of regurgitation in particular relates almost entirely to ventricular function only.

How to manage an athlete with mitral valve prolapse.
INTRODUCTION Under the term degenerative mitral valve prolapse different pathophysiological and clinical entities coexist in a spectrum ranging from Barlow's disease to fibroelastic deficiency, and represent the most common cause of mitral regurgitation ...

Rationale and design of the TRIC‐I‐HF‐DZHK24 (TRICuspid Intervention in Heart Failure) trial
Study overview of the TRIC‐I‐HF‐DZHK24 trial. HF, heart failure; HFH, heart failure hospitalization; QoL, quality of life; RHC, right heart catheterization; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; TTVI, transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention. Abstract Aims Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a detrimental disease frequently diagnosed in patients with right‐sided ...

A prominent Chiari network can cause cyanosis in infants by inducing a positional right‐to‐left atrial shunt. Accurate diagnosis enabled conservative management, delaying surgery until optimal conditions. This case emphasizes the importance of echocardiographic evaluation in differentiating cyanosis mechanisms to guide appropriate treatment in ...

Left ventricular mechanical dispersion predicts arrhythmic risk in mitral valve prolapse
Objective Bileaflet mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with either focal or diffuse myocardial fibrosis has been linked to ventricular arrhythmia and/or sudden cardiac arrest. Left ventricular (LV) mechanical dispersion by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE)

Aged Zebrafish as a Spontaneous Model of Cardiac Valvular Disease
Natural ageing in zebrafish results in spontaneous development of valvular degeneration in both the atrioventricular (AV) and bulboventricular (BV) valves. Aged zebrafish valves are larger and exhibit cystic regions, immune cell infiltration, early osteoblast differentiation and increased regurgitation.
