Despite the absence of randomised comparison, it is widely accepted that, when feasible, valve repair is the optimal surgical treatment in patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) due to the well documented advantages of such an approach over valve replacement in terms of perioperative mortality, preservation of postoperative left ventricular (LV) function and long-term… View more

Diseases of the mitral valve (MV) are the second most frequent clinically significant form of valvular disease in adults. In particular, MV regurgitation occurs with increasing frequency as part of degenerative changes in the ageing process.1 The annual incidence of degenerative MV disease is estimated at approximately 2–3 %. In addition to degenerative valve disease, MV regurgitation can be… View more

Contemporary Management of Secondary Mitral Regurgitation
Author(s): Kashish Goel , Colin M Barker , JoAnn Lindenfeld Added: 3 years ago
Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemic, with an estimated 6.2 million adults (≥20 years) affected between 2013 and 2016 in the US.1 The prevalence is increasing and is expected to reach 8 million by 2030.1 Mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in HF patients, especially in those with ischaemia, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction or dilated cardiomyopathy. MR in the absence of structural… View more

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent form of valvular heart disease. Its major causes are primary mitral leaflet abnormalities (valve prolapse, healed endocarditis, or rheumatic disease), primary myocardial disease (functional MR), and ischemic disease. Even with severe MR, affected individuals may remain asymptomatic for long periods of time.1 The early, compensated state of MR is… View more

Valvular disease is the most prevalent structural heart disease among adults and its burden is growing along with the increase in life expectancy.1 Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most frequent valvular disease, after aortic stenosis. Its natural history is very variable and highly dependent on the presence of symptoms. However, even in asymptomatic patients, the prognosis of severe MR is… View more

The field of mitral valve disease diagnosis and management is in constant change. New understanding of disease pathology and progression, with improvements in and increased use of sophisticated imaging modalities have led to more complex treatments. Transcatheter mitral valve repair with a MitraClip device is resulting in good outcomes in patients with primary mitral regurgitation who are at high… View more
