Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Mechanisms of Mitral Regurgitation
Purpose of reviewThe objectives of this review are to highlight the pathophysiology and treatment strategies of mitral valve regurgitation (MR) in...
-
Cardiac reverse remodeling in primary mitral regurgitation: mitral valve replacement vs. mitral valve repair
BackgroundWhen feasible, guidelines recommend mitral valve repair (MVr) over mitral valve replacement (MVR) to treat primary mitral regurgitation...

Advent of severe mitral regurgitation in surgical ventricular restoration and ventricular septal rupture repair
BackgroundPer-procedural severe mitral regurgitation is a rare complication in concomitant surgical ventricular restoration and postinfarction...
-
Current Percutaneous Approaches to Treat Mitral Valve Regurgitation
Purpose of reviewIn recent years, our understanding of mitral regurgitation and its management has evolved substantially. In particular, as...

Mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation with Carpentier’s functional classification type II in elderly patients: a single center experience
ObjectiveMitral valve (MV) repair for Carpentier functional classification Type II (C-II) mitral regurgitation (MR) is widely accepted because of its...
-
Interpapillary muscle distance independently predicts recurrent mitral regurgitation
ObjectiveIschaemic secondary mitral regurgitation (ISMR) after surgery is due to the displacement of papillary muscles resulting from progressive...
-
MitraClip as a therapeutic strategy for post-myocardial infarction mitral regurgitation
Mitral regurgitation is a serious complication of post-myocardial infarction, with increasing mortality. Surgery as the primary treatment carries a...

Left atrial and left ventricular strain dynamics with echocardiography in asymptomatic children with mitral regurgitation
Left atrial (LA) dilatation is a strong predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Strain parameters evaluating LA functions have gained...

Revealing Mitral Valve Cleft Using Real-Time 3-Dimensional Echocardiography in Children with Mitral Regurgitation
Mitral valve cleft (MVC) is the most common cause of congenital mitral regurgitation (MR). MVC may be located on the anterior or posterior leaflets....
-
Unmasking of severe mitral regurgitation after pericardiectomy
Mitral valve prolapse in the young is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation (MR). Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a chronic and end-stage...
-
Mitral regurgitation secondary to kissing aortic valve vegetation
Infective endocarditis is associated with acute heart failure if the valve involvement leads to significant alteration in the hemodynamics....
-
Challenges and pitfalls in classification of disproportionate mitral regurgitation
The concept of disproportionate mitral regurgitation (dispropMR) has been introduced to identify patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR)...
-
Mitral valve surgery for atrial functional mitral regurgitation: predicting recurrent mitral regurgitation and mid-term outcome
ObjectivesThis study aimed to elucidate the mid-term outcomes and risk factors for recurrent mitral regurgitation after mitral valve (MV) surgery for...

Update on Transcatheter Treatment of Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation
Purpose of ReviewMitral and tricuspid regurgitation represents a clinical challenge. They are associated with a poor prognosis, and many patients are...
-
Perspectives on Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in Heart Failure
Purpose of the ReviewThis review focuses on broader perspectives of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with heart failure.
Recent Findings ...

Impact of left atrium plication on chronic heart failure with atrial functional mitral regurgitation
PurposeWe hypothesized that a giant left atrium may oppress the posterior left ventricle and aggravate diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. We...

Distinct leaflet-annular remodeling pattern in severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a three-dimensional echocardiography study
BackgroundAtrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is best described with normal left ventricular size and function, structurally normal mitral...
