surgery in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation at 1 year. Patient selection is key for success of any surgical or percutaneous MV interventions. Generalization of these ...

For one, the patients in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial had less severe mitral valve regurgitation than did those in the MITRA-FR and COAPT trials, although they demonstrated more severe symptoms. Even though ...

Performing exercise Doppler echocardiography may be useful to clarify symptoms of dyspnea or the etiology of acute pulmonary edema in patients with LV dysfunction. Ischemic mitral regurgitation is ...

Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) was characterized by an eccentric jet, which occupied greater than 40% of the left atrial area. Color Doppler showed prominent holosystolic flow. (Figure 1). An ...

4 The Cardioband repair system (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California, USA) was initially designed for the treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR); the results showed a 95% MR reduction ...

This study assessed the usefulness of transcranial Doppler ultrasound velocities as a noninvasive estimate of feeding mean arterial pressure. We studied 41 patients undergoing 73 staged treatments of ...

These cases represent subcohorts of patients with and without LV aneurysm and with severe and no mitral regurgitation (MR ... measures as transvalvular pressure differences, valve velocities, and E/A ...

Exclusion criteria were interatrial shunt before TMVR, unsuccessful TMVR (no reduction in mitral regurgitation severity), additional valvular heart disease planned for surgery or intervention, ...
