Chester's work wherever appropriate. Mitral valve (MV) diseases include a broad spectrum of manifestations including prolapse of the leaflets, degeneration, and even calcification of their annulus.

Geometry Asymmetric hypertrophy out of proportion to hypertension Concentric remodeling or hypertrophy ... Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. BP: Blood pressure; CMRI: Cardiovascular ...

Finally, we highlight the key role of mitral valve intervention, particularly transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for management of moderate-severe mitral regurgitation in carefully selected ...

Structural interventions, including ventricular remodeling, for dilated ventricles and valvular heart disease (VHD ... also include significant discussions on the outcomes for aortic, mitral and ...

Based on the results from the MATTERHORN (A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess Mitral Valve Reconstruction for Advanced Insufficiency of Functional or Ischemic Origin), transcatheter ...

RVD was associated with a 1.6‐fold increased mortality under medical management. Of the 73% of patients who underwent mitral valve surgery, 1‐month postoperative mortality was 2.6% compared with 11.4% ...

Functional and/or ischemic mitral regurgitation is a disease of the left ventricle rather than the mitral valve. The consequences ... All annular remodeling techniques decrease the setal-lateral ...

For patients with a small mitral valve orifice area, the “nitinol-based Pascal device flexes through the ... There was also evidence of left ventricular remodeling in the Pascal- and MitraClip-treated ...
