Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair for Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with, ischemic, and degenerative (prolapse) disease, contributes to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to remodeling, and LV dilation, resulting in worsening of MR. Mitral valve (MV) surgical repair has provided improvement in survival, LV function and symptoms, especially when performed early.

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Interventional treatment of mitral valve regurgitation: an alternative to surgery? [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation is a highly prevalent condition among elderly patients, affecting almost 10% of the general population aged 75 and older. Left untreated, severe mitral regurgitation results in high mortality and frequent hospitalisation for ...

Background Mitral regurgitation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be caused by various etiologies. Case presentation An 81-year-old woman with mild mitral regurgitation and complete right bundle branch block was scheduled to ...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Echocardiographic evaluation of mitral valve regurgitation
Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for the evaluation of mitral valve regurgitation. A comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using different echocardiographic techniques provides important information regarding the etiology and ...

Massive Hemoptysis due to Acute Mitral Regurgitation with Sporadic Primary Mitral Valve Prolapse [PDF]
The most common cardiac cause of massive hemoptysis is mitral stenosis. Mitral regurgitation is rarely complicated by massive hemoptysis. A 48-year-old man with no significant medical history was admitted to our hospital with hemoptysis and production of

Recurrence of Mitral Valve Regurgitation After Mitral Valve Repair [PDF]
To the Editor: Flameng and colleagues1 are to be congratulated on an excellent observational study of the long-term course after mitral valve repair. This type of data is badly needed. The report could have been improved, however, with less emphasis on statistics and more on the actual data.

Need for expertise in mitral valve regurgitation [PDF]
The mitral annulus is a three-dimensional, saddle-shaped structure exhibiting dynamic conformational changes during the cardiac cycle.1 The normal annulus contracts and increases in saddle-shaped non-planarity during systole.2 3 Such annular dynamics are important for the balanced distribution of the mechanical stresses imposed by the left ventricle ...
